PICTURE OF THE DAY:
This angel is one of my favorite spring/summer decorations. It is actually made of tin and has a little door in the back so I can place a tea light in it if desired. I just love it because it is so whimsical and because it makes me smile.
HERE'S THE EASTER VILLAGE:
As promised, I took pictures of my Easter Village. All these houses come with lights, but sometimes trying to hide all the cords is more trouble than it is worth to me, so I just enjoy the village sans lights.
This yellow house is so cute, you can imagine a family looking for eggs...
I wish I could grow roses like the lady in this house...
The tree in front of this church is full of eggs. Wonder how the kids would collect them?
I did not go to an 'Easter Egg Party' in a park when I was growing up, but it is a great idea for families living in apartments...
With the wonderful weather we have been having, I really want to visit a flower store myself and pick up some flowers and plants. This one is really cute!
And what would a village do without a school, lambs and all...
And this one is for my husband who just loves these (Truth be told, so do I)!
Yes, I mix and match my village pieces. I prefer to pop some color into a pastel scene and add a bit of whimsy myself.
I have several more decorations which I will photograph for later posts, but these are my favorite bunny sets...
I had opened up the window last night because it was so beautiful out and when I woke up this morning, I heard the lovely sound of song birds. The sun was bright, there was a gentle breeze and I thought there had to be some type of mistake...that I must be dreaming! I know I keep saying it but this is still winter and I live in Maine! Well, I wasn't dreaming...the sun was shining, the birds were singing and so I just soaked it all in. I figure we're still in for a major winter storm sometime before spring so I might as well enjoy it while I can...
Well, I have started the backdrop for the musical which I plan to finish this week. First thing I do is take out all the hems on the sheets. I know I could open the hems, steam them flat and gain a couple inches, but really, it is a lot easier to just tear the seams off.
So tonight I will finish taking out all the hems and stitching the sky together. I have three blues and a white for the sky, so it should be fairly easy to do. I'll take some pictures of my progress as I work on the backdrop.
Remember, I will get back to the other crafts which are on hold until the backdrop is done. Well, I might play with some ATC's if I get tired of working on the backdrop. I found a couple neat sites for ATC exchanges. I'll post those when I work on the ATCs.
We had a great weekend, with only one glitch. It was so beautiful Sunday that we decided to drive up to our favorite restaurant for a seafood dinner. SURPRISE! It was closed until the middle of the month. We didn't know that it even closed. So, we stopped in Freeport at a Chinese Restaurant that has a small but absolutely fantastic buffet. All was not lost...
Hope your weekend was great and this week brings nothing but good things...
Thanks for visiting....
