Easter Parade/Party

Today is Miss A's Easter Parade and Party at school. There was suppose to be an outdoor parade of bunnies singing, but it is threatening snow(yes snow, after I was just saying it is finally Spring, we might even break the snow record for the snowiest winter) so they moved the grand events indoors. Miss A was the leader today and got to bring in a snack so we baked cookies. . .

She also took in Easter party snack for everyone. . .

She doesn't go back to school until next Wednesday. Boy it will be a LONG week. We will have to fill it with some projects to do. . .

Finally. . .

Finally yesterday felt like spring! We took a trip to the zoo and then to our beach to have a treasure hunt. This is what we found . . .
As you can see lots of beautiful beach glass. We found our first piece of bright yellow glass. Miss A also found a piece of milk glass and what looks to be a piece of pottery. One side is white with a red circle in it and the other side has red stripes - it is the neatest piece! The top left if a piece of drift would that looks like the skin of a giraffe - that Miss A found. She also found the cool rock, but Mr P instantly picked it up and pointed it like a gun. Which I find interesting since we have no play guns or watch anything with guns - boys! It must be from those cousins of his :)

Beach Bag Size Tote

I LOVE this tote. I love the size, the "fabric" (towels from Target) and everything about it and can't wait to start using it. I got the general idea from Film In The Fridge.


I added an extra pocket and put some interfacing in it too. Now if we could just have some beach weather around here!

Magazine Bag

Last year, at Walmart, I found placemats that I decided I wanted to turn into a bag. I finally decided it was time and made a little tote for my reading material to take in the car or outside while the kids are playing. I let Miss A pick out the ribbon from my stash, what was I thinking I knew she would pick out the pink one :) I think it will be replaced when I find something I like a little better.

Tonight I started a fabric tote bag and layered/pinned a qulit for quilting.

Easter Decorations

I finally decided it was time to get out my Easter decorations and I found this carrot I made last year. It was one of my first sewing adventures. I followed this pattern.

Wonky Log Cabin

I have been working on this scrappy/wonky log cabin (not really as wonky as I wanted it) It is mostly all blues with a few spashes of some light colors. I have all the blue blocks done and I ran out of the tan color so I need to get some more.

Birthday wishes. . .

Happy Birthday to Hobby Mommy!

I filled up a basket full of cherry things for her. Black cherry tea, paper with cherries on it, cards that I stamped cherries on. It was fun putting it all together.

Have a great birthday Hobby Mommy!
