I have not done this in years

I decorated for Easter. I have not decorated for Easter in literally years. I always used to decorated for Easter,  the fall, and then for Christmas. For years I just never felt like doing it and today I just dragged out the box of stuff and did it. I had forgotten half of the things I had.










I need to get some flowers for the egg vases on the buffet and maybe a couple more rabbits and I will be good. Oh yes I am going to make a table square and a runner with Easter themes. One for the dining table and one for the buffet. I have been trolling Pinterest for inspiration already I have the doily that is on the buffet but I don't like it, I want a quilted runner and happily I know how to get one. I cannot tell you how happy these little spurts of normality make me. I like to know the old Linda is in side here someplace.

I thought I would show off my quilt project. We are 12 weeks in and I am really happy with the look of it so far


I had to add some black to block number 10 and it has made it so much better in my eyes. It originally was just blue and green and it looked out of place. I will have to make sure in future that all the blocks have all three colours in them.

Other that that its been a quiet week. Out and about with my friends. I made another trip to Dollar Tree to get the last of the bins I needed to organize the bathroom upstairs. I have been obsessed with organizing videos on YouTube. Its inspiring me to get things in shape around here. Its a big job but I am working on it.

I am knitting on the giant pink slippers. I finally made it to Michaels and got some yarn. I could have started the other pair but I wanted to knit the pink ones first for some reason. The second pair I will make black and grey.

We finally got rain a couple of times this week. Its taken the most of the dirt off of my car. I thought I was going to have to break down and take it to the car wash. We need more rain to clean things up and get the green of spring to start.

I took KitKat out for coffee this afternoon and I had on way to much coat. Its +14 and a winter coat, even a light weight one was just too much. KitKat is still off work and she is bored. Coffee is a great excuse to get out of the house. I managed to get gas into my car and got rid of another garbage bag of textiles to the recycle program. All things I would tell myself I would do on Monday but not do until in the week. We had a lovely visit and she is off to a specialist appointment about her eye this week. I have a lot of hope that they will be able to fix it for her.

Well I cannot think of anything more to babble on about. Maybe I should make notes through the week. Not that I have a tremendous amount of things going on. I did go and see Dumbo. Its a lovely little movie, Dumbo is soooo sweet, you just want to cuddle him. I loved it.

Ok its time to go knit and watch some TV.

Toodles,
Linda
