Easter Table

 Here my table decorated for Easter. The cloth is a jelly bean pattern piece of fabric from when I sold Longaberger Baskets, The two crochet pieces are from my husband's mom and aunt. I got those adorable chick and bunny salt & pepper shakers at Target.

I also love using my Lu-Ray china at Easter.

Ham is in the oven, potatoes in the oven, we'll eat in about an hour.
Then I'll watch The Ten Commandments like I do every Easter. I love the old special effects! Plus, I have it on DVD so I can watch it when ever I want. :)

Easter

Happy Easter to all my bloggin' friends! We didn't color any eggs yesterday. I totally forgot and it's just me and the hubby. Today we will have Ham, my husband's awesome scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole (for me), corn (for hubby), and maybe some wine. I'll post a pic of my Easter table later.

In the meantime, here is a photo of me, about 7, with my first pair of bell bottoms from the Easter Bunny. lolol! I wish I had those bells. I do still have the Easter egg I am holding. It has a handle you wind and it play a tune.

UFO

Ok not that kind!
 
 
I made the partner to this needlepoint for my daughter awhile ago. Her bathroom is decorated in a moon and stars pattern. I have been working on it for over a year. I have had the frame since 2011.
 My husband wanted to make this one,but he didn't like the way his stitches turned out so I finished (3/4+) it.
 
Then I needed to do the outlining which I dislike.
 
Then I couldn't find the chart.
 
 Then I couldn't find this piece. (my craft room is a disaster).
 
Finally got everything together and I finished it tonight!
 
I feel like I really accomplished something!!
 
Now I can mail it together with the 1/2 moon mirror I found at Goodwill,

I found a couple cool things at the antique mall. This bunny bank is creepy cool looking!!

And the planter is just too cute for words!!!!
I am now addicted to these ever since seeing all the cute creations made from some of my favorite crafty bloggers.

This was a purchase from Dime Store Chic



Is it not adorable? I want to add it to my doll house....someday it will get finished!

Easter Fun!

Isn't this adorable?!?! I ordered her from Magpie Ethel. Inside was the little bunny ornament too. Wasn't that sweet? She has such a cool blog, too. Collections galore! I don't feel like such a hoarder collector, lol! I also placed an order from her other esty shop E is for Ethel. As soon as it arrives I will post photos. I am on a new collection kick due to the lovely crafty ladies on the left: Creative Breathing, ImagiMeri's, etc. Click their buttons and take a peek!

Ethel was my paternal grandmother's name. I miss her so!

Easter Candy

I adore Peeps. They just make me happy. And they make neat-o s'mores! I found these 60th Anniversary Peeps and boy are they good!!! Vanilla Cream,

Anyway, I went shopping last weekend at Goodwill and the antique mall. I will be taking pictures and posting more later.
