Making Easter Gifts!

   Every year I try to make a little something for all the girls( my Mom, my sistier and sister in law's , my niece,  ) So this year I decided to make pot holders ( again) . But I figured you can never have to many potholders. I did most of this by hand and then finished them up by machine.  I used blues , yellows, and pinks- all the springy colors.
  I find it very relaxing to do both hand and machine sewing. Usually they come out very nice. So I have a nice handmake gift to f give that is also useful!  What could be better than that?

Decorating for Easter

 Last year we had some decorations we put up.  This year , with our new living room arrangement, we have several more places to decorate.  Our 'dining area' looks so great with the table in front of the window and our Easter placemats . Check it out to see how good it looks!

  Then in the kitchen   with our new table ( from Christmas tree shop)  we have another set of placemats that also look very springy and great for Easter!  All of these placemats we got several years ago when they were on sale for $1.00 each so they are really very budget friendly!

Spring Decor/Spring

  Here is another Easter Decoration we did this year.  We have had Mr.Rabbit for many years. He is made of plaster / resin material. We always put him out in the spring.

  This year Bob went to put him out, his bottom half broke off . So here is what Bob did:  Took a large planter and filled it with kitty litter ( for the ice in the winter)  .Then he stuck  Mr. Rabbit into the planter.

 Later when we went to the dollar store we got some plastic Easter eggs. ( We needed a few more for our other decorations)   So we put the rest around Mr. Rabbit and put in on the front patio!

Easter/Spring Decor!

 Go now and look for half price Easter Decor!  We got our egg wreath on sale before Easter but I bet if you check now , they are even further reduced!

  I have wanted one of these for years but at $30.00 I did not think it was worth it. This one was 10.00 and hopefully will last us a while. It is by our front door and looks really nice against our green siding.
