Lovely

We had a beautiful Easter holiday, filled with family and friends, good food and lots of candy! I think of the people in our lives and am thankful beyond thanking words for all we have been blessed with. With good weather and the sun finally warming up this place, we were out and about searching for eggs and climbing trees.                                                                    

                         

Above is Flowery Bunny (aka Miss Maggie Softie), pattern is found here. I fell in love with this bunny when I first saw her here. She waited patiently Easter morning, hanging about with Easter baskets filled with fun stuff for the kids. I had been wanting to practice more hand work, this bunny is all hand sewn, and not as hard as I thought it would be. It was a very enjoyable project that did not take more than three nights to work on. Ok, I was up late Saturday night to finish her for Sunday morning but she was well worth the lack of sleep. I did, for a brief minute or two think about keeping her for myself, but then my husband convinced me otherwise. It's good thing he did, as she's been so loved since.

My mother and father in law work so lovingly to always prepare great food and spirits for the large crowds that are welcomed into their home and I am grateful for the memories we always make there. I made a specific effort to take some family photos, which I know I will be glad that I did.
