Happy Easter!

Some how it just did not seem like Easter here today, but we did have Easter dinner and Brooke had helped me make the Easter bunny cake yesterday and also the Peanut butter delight that I had posted a link to several weeks ago. Brooke now has a new favorite desert and told me I need to make this again. I also made Pat's favorite Cherry cream cheese pie. Tracy and gang all came to visit. This is the 1st year in about 18 that we have not hid eggs, in fact we did not even dye eggs. The Easter bunny brought various Easter goodies to the kids, but no baskets etc. I wore my Easter apron and cooked, lol. I discovered I like wearing an apron and the neatest thing is that the pocket can be used to stuff a dish towel in and I always have a dish towel handy. The pocket can also be used to keep the cell phone in and it is always close. I have decided I need one for every holiday as well as an everyday one. When I was in wal mart this weekend I found out that they were selling out all the fabric at 50% off. I had to check it out and lets just say I bought several pieces that I thought I could use for various things and even went back this morning to buy a few more pieces that I thought of a use for. I have got to stay out of the fabric stores. I know I will not be doing much sewing until after July. I just can't get enough time to do all I want to do with my sewing machine fast enough, lol. I know that I will be busy with outdoor stuff in a few weeks and probably forget all about my sewing desire. The girl cutting fabric for me showed me a gift someone had brought her, which was a personal pillow case, so I thought hmmm I can do that and try out my regular sewing part of my machine. So I did and it worked out really good. I will post a few pictures of my new adventures with my machine. I have been a lil disappointed that my grand kids are not wanting me to embroidery stuff for them, I need some t-shirt practice, as I have only done the ones for the little kids and I was not completely satisfied with the outcome of them. I have shirts just waiting for them to decide what they want on them.


This is the pillowcase I made. I have an idea for several to make.





These bags I posted a picture of the other side earlier but I added more to them.





This coming week we will all be getting last minute things done for the Texas wedding trip. We are soooo looking forward to it. I should have some pictures to post of that next week. Until next post stay safe.
