  Today its only 36 degrees out...road work being done outside my yard ..where a round-a-bout is being put in.  So lots of crazy noise, vibrations and men.  I decided it would be  a great day to bring out all the Easter and Spring decorations......talked hubby into getting all 5 tubs out and placing them in the middle of the family room. I have all my summer patio dishes in tubs and need to bring out for the summer.  Want to wash them and place them where I need them. Getting everything stacked. Many items I purchased at yard sales.  The eggs are plastic.   I have always loved Easter grass....it just makes me happy....and all my vintage bunnies. I love my Easter Egg Display...I paid about $7 at the thrift store but it is in excellent condition. I always keep lots of greenery to be put out.  I enjoy the real with the artificial...now trying to get it all put away before hubby wants to come in and set down and rest.  Have a great day.  

 A few years ago I picked up this cross stitch quilt at a yard sale.  It has been in a tub in my craft room for years.  I am working hard on trying to clear out all my projects so I can start all fresh.   I love doing these and then crocheting around the edges.  They make great baby shower gifts.  But this one came with no paperwork, so I have no idea what it is or the colors.   So hubby and I are both looking to see which is the top and which is the bottom and what we are looking at. We could not decide so I suggested me starting on one corner and outlining the items that I find. And then we began to see what was in the stitches.  At first we thought it was a kitten but now thinking it is a bear.  But so fun to see what is coming of the stitches.  Kinda fun not knowing and just getting to choose my own colors. This will be available in our shop when I get it all finished...Will keep you posted on what is in the design.

  Been out working on our 67 mini Bell .... getting it ready for our first camping trip in April with our daughter and her family.  We won't be going far, but always want it as close to ready as possible so that if we have any issues, we are close to stores to get it fixed.  Every year I choose a different theme for the decor in the inside of "Maizy Belle" and this year I chose the garden theme.  I want it to be soft, cozy, peaceful and relaxing.  Most of the items I have chosen to redo her in are either ones I have had for years or purchased very cheaply.  The bedspread is from a thrift store years ago and is a white chenille.  Love it so much but on the fair side never put the tassels where they can hit you in the face at night or all night you will feel like something is crawling on you.   The curtains are from a 1960's sheet that I got in the original package a few years ago.  So I washed it up and lined it with white muslin and made my curtains.  I have had the 1
