I and my friend Tricia have both decided to do Amandajean’s quilt along. We’re both doing two tops. This is the first block for my second top. I had planned to use Christmas fabrics. While looking through the stash, I found the white snowflake print and the blue one and decided to use those instead. […]
I finished putting the blocks together. I’ll rummage the attic stash and see if there is something I can use for the borders. ~~Rhonda
I’ve decided to put together two quilt tops following Amandajean’s quilt along. I finished the first block last night. It’s a star quilt made up of 13 different star block patterns and set with 12 other blocks. I’m making this one in palest pinks, yellows, and blues. I’m want to redecorate the guest room in […]
It’s spring at our house. Really spring. Deep green, deep grass spring. Monday the ground was too wet from previous rains to mow, but I mowed the yard on Tuesday for the first mower outing of the season. DH has Wednesdays off and we spent a lot of time out in the yard that day, […]

The Tete-a-Tete daffodils are the first to bloom in the yard and are still going strong. These minis are only 5-6″ tall. Happy enjoys the warmer […]
DH always takes requests when making pancakes. This is a bunny and Easter eggs… Just a bunny… I think the dyes are as pretty as the colored eggs. Easter eggs today…deviled eggs tomorrow. Did I mention I like Snickers eggs? My favorite. ~~Rhonda 🙂
When DD and I walked the back yard yesterday, we saw signs of spring everywhere. The Star of Bethlehem is putting up it’s bright green leaves. We always called this “Easter grass” when I was young. The clumps green up long before the actual grass does and looks perfect for nestling Easter eggs. The columbine […]
March 1 / Saturday / The first March picture is one I took at our DDs’ house, where we stayed overnight on our way to visit DS#1 and his family. DD#2 and DD#3 snuggled up in the recliner and played games while DH made pancakes before we left for DS’s house. March 2 / Sunday […]
DH’s day off work is Wednesday. Of course, he goes in to do paperwork for four or five hours, but that doesn’t count, right? This Wednesday was the first one this year that was nice enough to work outside. The first thing we did was plant the irises that we had leftover from digging up […]
