Easter 2023

We had a lovely lunch down at DD on Easter Saturday.  She made The World's Best Lasagna  and it was really good.  The triangular boxes held mini chocolate eggs; and those carrot napkins were so cute.

I made the treats for after's.  DD requested chocolate Rice Krispie nests with chocolate eggs.  Vanilla cupcakes with butter icing and Rice Krispie squares.

The cupcakes are supposed to be rabbits.  Got the kit for the eyes, ears etc., from the dollar store.

Good Friday was a good day.........

Did some cleaning, did the laundry, changed the sheets and have now gone from the winter flannel sheets to the lighter cotton weight sheets, hubby is not going to be happy, but I will be 😉

Dd is hosting Easter this year on Easter Saturday, so my contribution to the meal are some baked goods, which I prepared on Friday.  Will share photos with you at a later date.

We had snow flakes on Good Friday morning.  Now even though the sun was shining and the skies were blue, it was nippy cold out there.  We went for a quick walk around the block later in the afternoon with our hoods up and wooly hats on.  That wind was biting.

I managed to finish all the background's in the numbered squares on my cross stitch and am now doing all the back stitch before I start on the borders.  I want all the numbered squares finished off first.

Looking forward to Easter Saturday, hope to have lots of photos.

so far so good..........

I am well/healthy.  Still have signs of shingles, but it is very mild and neither itches or hurts now.

I have not been in the mood for blogging this week, sorry.  However I wanted to give you my weekly update on my cross stitch.

Again, I haven't done as much as I would have liked this week.  There is a lot of back stitch to do and borders.  I can see it will take me another couple of weeks.  I am really pleased though how it's coming together.

Just in case I don't get back online this weekend.  I hope you all have a lovely Easter.

Busy Bee,

Sorry I have been busy with other things, including a sick little grandson.  It's always so sad when a little one is sick.  Hopefully his antibiotics will kick in and he will be feeling better soon, poor thing.

The one thing about sick little ones is their snotty nose.  He managed to wipe his nose on my top on Tuesday, so it looks as though I had a snail leave a trail on my sleeve....LOL  I won't be sorry when he is old enough to be at school as daycare's is a breeding ground for sniffles!!

Poor little guy also had the runs.  It's been a while since I have changed a diaper as nasty as these ones were!!!  Fingers crossed he is well before the Easter Bunny arrives!!

Sign's of life.........

Finally the garden is starting to come alive.  We still have a little snow left. (as of Sunday afternoon)
