Spring Yarn Along

As you can see from my header picture, I am starting to decorate my house for Easter. I made this little hand towel several years ago from a pattern found in a magazine.

I also set out these Easter eggs. 
There are actually six of them but I couldn't get a good pic of all six. 
They came as white plaster eggs that you painted. They were by Wee Crafts. I don't think they are available anymore. I painted them many years ago when my children were little.

It didn't look much like Spring around here on Monday. I woke up in the morning to rain, followed by sleet and then snow.
The picture was taken through the screen on my back door. I couldn't believe how quickly our deck was coated. No, my pool has not yet been opened. The weather this winter shredded our pool cover. 

My crocheting is somewhat slow. I am still working on my infinity scarf
 I have only managed to finish another 15 rows in the past week. Very frustrating because crochet has always been a quick craft for me. 

I have also been working on this Little House Needleworks cross-stitch.
I hope to finish this in the next week.

My reading is still The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. This too is going slow because there are times when I really don't like Dolly, one of the main characters. I then put the book down and am reluctant to pick it up again. I want to finish this book, but I think it is going to take some time.

Joining Ginny's Yarn Along again this week. What are you knitting/crocheting? What are you reading? Pop on over to her site to see what others are up to.

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. It's finally feeling like Spring up here in RI - a far cry from the weekend, that's for sure. I wonder if this weather has us crafting slower. My socks are taking as long as your scarf!

  7. I love your cross-stitch project. My mom would always work on cross-stitch when I was little so I have a huge appreciation for the craft. So time consuming!
