The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing and the sun is shining- what a glorious day. Happy Monday, ya'll.
So how was your weekend? I hope it was good. We had a large Easter supper Saturday with ham , casseroles, pastas and lots of yummy desserts. My girls and grandkids were out of town, but they returned Sunday for Easter dinner which was leftovers. The grandkids also participated in a big Easter egg hunt. It is always fun because we do make it a challenge for them- yep that means climbing trees, diving into bushes, and there has been a calf known to hold an egg in its halter. Lol. The kids love it. It was so much fun and perfect weather for the kids to play outside.
I had planned on doing a lot of gardening today- I mean some down and dirty gardening. Pulling weeds , tugging on bags of mulch and transplanting plants, but that will have to wait till tomorrow.
This garden does need some attention though.
I found out that the grandson has a ball game tonight, and I do not want to get too grubby. So that means it is a perfect day to sit outside enjoy the warmth and the sounds of critters running about. Of course, I have a stitching project too.
I have been doing some prep work on 4 new blocks for my strawberry quilt- 2 blocks are nesting bowls and the other 2 are cupcakes. They applique pieces are pinned in place and ready to go. I will be working on these little blocks this week.
My blocks are slowly growing .
I am still debating on how this going to go together.
I worked on my Days of Our Lives project this morning. What is a Days of Our Lives project you ask? It is just a project I dedicate to work on when I watch my soap opera. My Days projects have always been Little House Needleworks. This time I am working on the Old Red Barn. I am using my own colors. I hope to work on the farmers this week.
Tonight at 10:00 pm. you will find my sitting on the couch working on my Hart to Hart project. Lol.- that's the project I work on as I watch Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers solve mysteries.
My H to H project is Abby Rose Designs, "A Joyful Heart". This was a gifted chart by a sweet friend. Here is my progress the last time you saw it. I might be working on the house tonight.
Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

Those are cute blocks from your strawberry quilt. I am not much of a gardener but I'd like to plant some annuals so I have some flowers to cut or enjoy blooming in ground. I better figure them out soon because the next thing I know it will be in the 80s and I'll be staying inside more and more!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Bonnie for visiting me today. I can not wait to plant flowers though hubby says I need to cut back. I hope you do plant a few flowers to enjoy. Cut flowers are always nice to bring in and enjoy. Have a lovely week.
DeleteSounds like you had a wonderful family Easter get together, and the Easter Egg hunt sounds fun.
