Spring or Winter?

 We have had a few days that have felt like Spring. I even took my Spring denim jacket out on Thursday. On Friday I had my winter coat and gloves on during a walk with Hubby. The wind chill is going to be below freezing this weekend. It was 19 degrees F this morning. Brrr!

It’s hard to decide what to wear each day. March is supposed to go out like a lamb, but the lion is still restless. 

The colder weather means more indoor crafting time. Except for its hanging sleeve, Having a Ball is all done. 

I’ve been rinsing it in cold water as the blue marking lines have bled to the back. Sadly, the red fabric that I thoroughly washed and tested before using is now bleeding onto the white fabric next to it. So are a brown and a purple fabric. I am so frustrated. Any suggestions for fixing this problem would be appreciated. So far the ice cube trick is working in spots, but not everywhere. The hanging sleeve is cut. I will assemble it soon and attach it once I get all the blue and bleeding color out. 

My granddaughter’s I-Spy quilt is ready for quilting again…. I think. I pin basted it yesterday, but I want to make sure the backing is as taut as possible before I start quilting. 

More stitches have been added to the Cinnamon House. I’m working on the window surrounds at the moment. 

I finished reading “The Little Shop of Found Things” by Paula Brackston. 

It took a few chapters, but in the end I really enjoyed this book. I was wishing for more and it turns out this is the first book of a series. I will be reading the others for sure. 

These are the other two books that I borrowed from the library. 

I started the Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter this morning. It is very easy reading.

At the beginning of the week Hubby and I visited a local nursery's annual flower show. The theme was Gardens of Games. 

How about a game of Candyland. I still have that board game from when my children were little.

Are you ready for the game of LIFE?

Here are some more photos. I didn't make note of the game.

The photo below is probably Hungry, Hungry Hippos.

LEGOs of course.

Walking through the flower show is always an enjoyable way to spend an hour or so. 

I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. Take some time to relax with a cup of tea or coffee and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!
