Family visit

My daughter and her family visited for 4 days this past week. On Monday, we went to the flower show at a local nursery. There were many different displays.


 My granddaughter had a ball! 

There were koi fish in the pond below that she enjoyed watching.

There was Scavenger Hunt to look for items in each display. I think the grownups had more fun searching, but she enjoyed seeing different garden animal statues. 

While she was here she played in the yard with her mom, and her pup, Ruby. 

I made Chocolate Crinkles to have for a treat. My son-in-law likes these a lot and missed them at Christmas.

 My granddaughter thanked me for making special cookies for her. She is so sweet.

Since toddlers and needles don't mix, my crafts were put away for those 4 days. They left on Tuesday night and Wednesday was spent stripping beds, doing laundry and putting away toys and such. I resumed working on the Woodland Babies birth announcement on Thursday and have made some progress on the raccoon.

I was able to sew some EPP blocks when my granddaughter was napping. I have 29 of the 36 blocks completed now. 

My daffodils are beginning to bloom. 

I made sure to get a photo this morning as rain is expected over the next few days. 

I will be joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching and Frederique at the Quilting Patch. Make yourself some tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!

  3. You can really see the 3D circle now on your EPP project! Looks like you had a lot of fun with your Daughter’s family. Your little granddaughter is not so little anymore! I can see why she would be delighted by the garden show. What kind of frame do you use for your cross stitch projects while stitching? Maybe you could send me a picture of it. Gail at the cozy quilter.

  4. Sounds like you had a fun weekend with your daughter and her family! I love flower shows like that - so much to look at. (If only my own garden was so lush and pretty!) Enjoy your stitching today, Cathy!
