Rudolph said I should do it

I searched for the same item and found it for only 2 dollars more than the lowest price it's been so I ordered it. I also ordered a movie for us that we've wanted. I already have my Mom's Mother's Day gift and card and we have a card for my Mother in law, but I need to get a gift for her. I think I will get her a little pot of mums at the grocery store when I go this week. They are Spring colors and she likes mums so I think it's a good choice.

Rudolph Day?

So Rudolph day has come and gone, but I still don't see the April update on the Organized Christmas website. I had to look it up for myself. I was going to make another gift order, but the prices in my Amazon cart have gone up so I will wait to see if they go back down before making the order. I have been working on my Summer cross stitch and I'm updating a small stool. Both will be making appearances in the blog soon. My husband and I have been working in the yard and he's still working on getting the new Jeep engine in so there's not a lot of free time for crafts. I've managed to stuff a few things in anyway. Pictures will follow soon.

Hooray!

Can you believe it? It's done. I guess you probably can believe it because you don't know that I've been "working" on this cross stitch for over 2 years! It's not that it was hard, I just never seemed to have time to work on it or felt like working on it, but at the beginning of this year I was determined to finish it and move on to another project. I already started my next cross stitch too :-)

A Touch of Spring

I cleaned up the corner of our lot where there are Forsythia bushes. Here's a little taste.



The other day I put out my little chair that my Aunt and Uncle made for me. I had to redo the wreath. It used to have an ivy vine on it, but all the leaves were falling off so I put a hook in the back slat to hold the wreath there instead.

Easter, Spring Cleaning and Such

So Easter was nice. Food was yummy. The one problem was this lemon cake that I made, twice. No matter what pan I use or what type of spray (the recipe says baking spray with flour) some (or all) of the top sticks to the pan. Needless to say we have a "whole" cake in a ziploc bag on the counter. All the ladies liked their Easter chicks I made though. My Aunt (the one with the Dept 56 Holiday House) made us Fall decorations for the house so now our Year Round Holiday Houses are actually year round with decorations for all major holidays and seasons.

Yesterday, I was able to Spring clean our bedroom so all the rooms are done. Yay! I just have to clean the carpets and do the fridge/freezer. I've been waiting for the freezer because I have a turkey in there that I want to cook before it gets too hot outside. I like to make a turkey in the Spring so that I can have turkey soup one more time besides Thanksgiving. Yes, the turkey is only a means to get homemade turkey soup. Ok I'm am going to list some items from Spring cleaning on Freecycle now and then I'm going to take advantage of this wonderful weather and rake some more of the yard. Be back later.
