Easter Blessings ~Here’s my Report ~Where the Week Went

This year was a different holiday, indeed.

I enjoyed seeing your on-line photos

of children all dressed up,

your colored eggs,

and your Easter Baskets.

Hubby and I also dyed a dozen hard cooked eggs.

Look who else dyed Easter Eggs.

Papa and Gigi enjoyed these photos.

Jack’s Aunt Emily and Uncle Jake

made their own batch, too.

A Good Friday Blessing was our weekly

Happy Hour FaceTime Chat with these Friday Night Friends.

This is not a blessing.

I think we have had a dusting of snow

three different times this week.

However, it is a blessing to see the sunshine

come out and melt that snow on the ground.

Last week I reported on my Mask Making project...

making them for our family and friends.

I had several folks comment and send messages,

so I took the week off from Spring Cleaning

and spent my time in my Sewing Studio.

If you are still in need, please let me know.

I have about a dozen left.

Plus, I’d be happy to make more.

While I am measuring, cutting, pinning, sewing, and pressing,

Hubby is here in his “work-from-home” office.

This is where he spends most of his day.

Helper Cat splits her time between us.

However, I think she finds checking his emails is rather boring.

So, My Easter Report...

The Bunny visited our house, twice!

We found two slices of Lemon Meringue Pie

in a box on our Front Porch.

(Thank you, Charlotte and Chuck.)

While I was preparing dinner, Hubby answered

the doorbell to receive this

Cheerful Easter Chick gift bag.

Inside that bag, two sweet handmade cards

and colorful Easter Eggs...

And inside those colorful Easter Eggs,

we found sweet Chocolate Candy.

These handsome young men were responsible

for that kind gesture.

How did they know that we’d missing our young family?

 Maybe because they were missing their own

Grandparents on this special Holiday Sunday.

Sending virtual hugs your way.

(Thank you Parents, Brittany and Ken)

This is a tough time for so many people.

Whether you are getting rain, sleet, or snow,

the sun will come out.

We will get back to our familiar routines

of school, work, and daily activities.

Someday.

Stay safe and well, everyone.

Take care,

~Natalie

What’cha Workin’ on Wednesday ~Thoughts of Spring ~A Team Effort

Most of the folks in our neck of the woods

are tired of extreme cold and snow.

We look forward to packing away our snowmen decor 

and bringing out Bunnies for Spring and Easter.

Hubby has been working his magic in the wood shop 

to create these pedestal bases for my most recent creation.

Perhaps you remember 

I went to every Thrift Store in town 

to buy stands for my Santas for Winterfest.

Now, I have my own personal wood turner 

right out in the man cave!

Plus, these are so much better than the ones 

I purchased at the Salvation Army!

Thank you, Honey.

That’s not the only project to come off the lathe.

These carrots were a good opportunity 

for hubby to practice with his new tools.

And you really can’t have bunnies 

without a few carrots!

He made a variety of sizes...

I tied them up in a bundle of three.

Calico Carrots are fun to make, too...

Stitched, Stuffed, Stained and Baked.

Carrot tops of green homespun are attached and ready.

Watch for these Bunnies and Carrots 

in my Tins and Treasures Etsy Shop.

Spring is Coming...someday!

Take care,

~Natalie
