Easter will be a quiet celebration here. Hubby and I will share a ham dinner at our house with his mother.
I didn’t go overboard with decorating this year. I did take out this dresser scarf to use as a dining table runner.
I have had it for years and never take it out. I think it was my Wisconsin grandmother’s. It was most likely stitched by my aunt (her daughter in law).
I think it looks pretty with the candles and panorama sugar eggs.
I have had these eggs for many years. Have you enjoyed these eggs?
I have started the quilting on the I-Spy quilt. I am taking my time and checking the tautness of both the top and bottom after each row. Most of the bleeding is out of Having a Ball. The blue marking pens have still left some weird yellow spots though that I am now working on. It is definitely better. Thanks to those of you who steered me to Vicki Welch’s wonderful post.
Cinnamon House is getting its roof.
I need to work on this during the day as the holes on the 28 count Aida are hard for me to see at night. That being said, I needed something I could work on at night. I had two small skeins of this pretty DK yarn.
Just enough for a pair of short socks. Now that I know what I’m doing when making socks, this first sock is knitting up quickly.
I’m reading The Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter by Hazel Gaynor. This is a wonderful book and so easy to read.
Just before the February blizzard that we had, I put the bird seed bowl on our deck railing. The stand had broken and I wanted to be able to easily fill the bowl after the snow. We have left the bowl there and continue to fill it for our birdie friends. Here are some robins and a male cardlinal patiently waiting their turn.
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!
