Happy Easter...

I hope your day is filled with God's love and blessings. I am thankful for the gift He has given me. Remembering the earthly life of my Lord Jesus and the way He made for me.

Happy Easter!

Stitchalong at Ellen's Place...

My blog friend Ellyn is having a monthly Stitchalong. Although slow to blog about it, here is mine.

You can find the pattern for Ellyn's January design here, February's design here and March's design here. Ellyn also has a Flicker page for the Stitchalong so when you are done with your embroidery, you can share it with others.

Thank you Ellyn for creating such a fun project.

Hi...

The last month has been very full. We had family visit from out of state and had two weeks of wonderful family reunion time. I photographed a cute little wedding. We had two nights of Open House at the preschool I work at. There have been track meets for both of my kids. We have also had the sniffles, sneezes and coughs in my house.

I got this Lemon Plum at the store last friday - delicious...

My Mom-in-Law gave me her old Nook - I am in LOVE! I have been thinking about getting an e-reader but was worried I wouldn't like it (I am a book girl) but I do. I have already re-read Outlander and now I am re-reading Dragon fly in Amber...

I got two new cookbooks from the book fair we had at Open House...

And, I bought some pansies...

Have a wonderful week...

Orange Enzyme...

I'm trying something new. I saw this post from homemade mamas many months ago and thought it would be great to make a all purpose cleaner but, I didn't want to wait three months for it do be done. Well, I came across it again the other day while looking for a window cleaner and decided to give it a try. We have been eating oranges and cuties like crazy lately and it only took a couple of days to get enough peels to start.

Here is my bottle...

Results in three months.
