Morning Promises...

"Red sky at night, sailor's delight.

Red sky in morning, sailor's take warning."

This is the glorious sunrise I photographed after a weekend of warm, sunny weather. It was the morning we were treated to another twelve hours of snow. Guess the old poem applied. Even so, I think this sunrise makes up for it.

I haven't stitched since I set up the Immaculate heart projects last weekend. I've been running hither and yon, and will be at an appointment mid-afternoon again today. (I had two appointments Monday, and another yesterday.) Don't worry. It's all good.

I'm going to try to sit and stitch a bit this afternoon. If so, you know I'll share photographs with you tomorrow. If not? Well, it will be a surprise post for me, too! Enjoy the sunrise. Enjoy the day, and always count your blessings. I appreciate you!

 

Tuesdays With Tag - Not More White Stuff!...

Hi, Everybody!

I figured if we had to wake up to this, so could you, right? I hope that at least where you are, it's sunny and warmer. Dad said it's even been in the 90s in Florida, and I have to admit, we don't miss that steamy hot weather, but this is gettin' ridiculous.

After celebratin' 82º on Sunday, this is what we work up to on Monday mornin', and it kept snowin' all day and into the night. Thankfully, today it's gonna get up into the 50s, so maybe it will all melt today. At least we're keepin' our paws crossed.

So, rather than say a bunch, I'll just leave you with more doggy/snowy pictures. I'm hopin' next week I can share more of the "Greenin' Up of Hickory Hill Farm".

 

If you look closely here, you'll see that the lilies are already up under the old apple tree, and there are leaves openin' up on the lilac bushes.

 

 

 

 

Maybe next week, we'll be able to see more flowers, grass, and sunshine. We're sure hopin' for a warmer week ahead, too.

I'll see you again in seven. 'til then... 

"Be A Good Dog."

April Craft Day...

I had a grand time on Saturday. Some of our regulars weren't able to come, and someone new joined this month. Deb and Kim couldn't attend, but I got to meet Nancy who will become Adrienne's new mother-in-law this fall.

I like this mosaic because it shows the relationship between each of these artists. My dear friend, Linda is in the upper left. Next to her is her daughter, Marie. Then, Marie's daughter, Adrienne. Below Linda is her sister-in-law, Linda P. Under Marie is her granddaughter, Aria, and below Adrienne is her future MIL, Nancy.

 

Our project this month was decorated Easter eggs. They remind me of the sugar eggs with lacy icing and sweet treats inside. These were Dollar Tree plastic eggs. An oval opening was cut into the top half of the eggs. We painted the inside of the egg, and after reassembling the two halves of the egg, we proceeded to decoupage beautiful tissue papers on the outside of the egg. Trims were added to all except mine. I decided to add my own vintage trims after I got back home. We then mounted the completed eggs onto candlestick bases.

Aren't they cute? Mine is the second from the left in the above photograph. I'll finish mine this week and then I can tuck it away with other Easter decorations until next spring.
