Happy  Easter

Saturday, March 30, 2024



 Saturday Quote........true!

No big plans today.  Well, except I somehow got talked into going to help the boys decorate easter eggs.  Not sure how that happened.  So, a trip to the store this morning for some supplies and then on to decorating eggs!  Hopefully I will have time this afternoon to get some things ready for dinner tomorrow. :)

Have a wonderful day!

Project Sunday - a finished project!  Finally finished the embroidery on this towel last night!  My embroidery stitches definitely need work.  Practice!  Practice!  Practice!  (and that's why I'm taking a class :)

I was pretty productive yesterday.  Stamped most of the day, stitched a bit last night.  I still have some sewing projects to do so I'm thinking that's what I'm going to work on today.

Just hanging out this morning.  Hudson is excited to get on with his day because he gets to spend the afternoon with his best buddy for his birthday party.  Can't believe he's going to be 8 years old in just a few days!  Time goes by much too fast!  Haven't decided how I'm going to spend my day after they leave.....maybe some stamping or maybe some stitching....or maybe some reading and napping :)

Have a wonderful day!

Photo Sunday - from spring to winter....yep, I live in Colorado!

My plan for yesterday didn't work out quite like I expected, but it was even better.  Went to lunch with a friend and then we came back and  did some stitching and watched a movie.  (The Boys in the Boat - loved it!)  It was a great day, plus I actually felt good about getting something done.  Still thinking about what to do today - not going out, too cold and wet.  But can't quite decide between stamping, stitching or sewing!  

Have a great day!
