Hope you are well...
Where does the time go?
Getting ready for the family to come for Turkey dinner tomorrow...Good Friday...
We like to do it this day...and then have the rest of the weekend to do whatever we want!!! Not just me...but the kids as well...
I have everything under control, despite the ice storm we got overnite and today...
Some people have lost their power...but we are good...made a quick run to the store, for a few odds and ends...
Have a few appetizers prepared...need to bake a pie of some sort tomorrow...will check my freezer for berries!!
Miss V and I baked some cookies yesterday...for now, I am cheating, by buying the Pilsbury ones, that are already cut...when she is a bit older, we will graduate to a cookie recipe...but not just yet....she enjoys placing them on the cookie sheet...and adding sprinkles! I have a cupboard full of sprinkles, as I have been buying them for every occasion!! I'm thinking I should perhaps put them in the freezer to keep them fresher...good idea???
Not too much decorating...rather lazy this year...and the weather is not inspiring me...at all!!
For my table...I found these cute wee terra cotta pots with Muscari bulbs in them!! Aren't they just the darn cutest things??? And...I can plant them in the garden, when they are done! I love things that work double duties!!
No cutlery or napkins when I took this earlier in the week...
I went with one of my Moms hot pink tablecloths...and a white runner...
Napkins are pink and green...ironed...but not on the table yet!!
Well....they are now...but not then!! hahaha!!
You know what I mean!!
First...we photocopied our hands together...in Papa's office...then...we added sparkles...googly eyes...pompoms...jewels...{treasures are what Miss V calls them}...and a few stickers...pretty snappy,eh? hahaha! It was fun!! I put it on the fridge...with some magnets...
Now...for a sneak peek at the Easter Basket I Crocheted Miss V...and a sweet wee Bunny tucked inside!! I have more stuff to go in...but I wanted to show you this much!!! Pretty cute eh??
We are heading to the cottage on Saturday...so I won't see you for a few days...I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend....with the people that you love....and eat,drink and be merry!!
Cheers! :o)

Have a great Easter Linda x
ReplyDeleteYou too Jessica!
DeleteYou look well organized for some Easter fun. This year we are doing things very different. I have always been the one to have the dinner but ...well...the mouse-house is too tiny so we are going to my sister's home for Easter Sunday and Monday we get together with the grandittles. My youngest, Allie, is in Cuba so this is a very odd Easter for us. I love all the colour in your dining-room...so cheery. Very pretty Easter table, indeed. And the basket is adorable. Have a wonderful time with your family, Linda. Hope the bunny is good to you. Hugs, Deb
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have a great time....
DeleteAnd just think....no clean up! Hahaha!
Happy Easter Deb...
That crocheted bunny is just TOO cute! Happy Easter and have a wonderful long weekend!

I bet the weather has been a tremendous adjustment for you . . .
From sun to frosty isn't much fun!
The good news, the sun and warmth should be right around the corner!
I made the darn basket waaaay too big!
DeleteBunny took me 4ever! I was gonna make 2 or 3.... Got 1 done!
Weather is very disappointing....for sure!

ReplyDeleteHi Martha...
DeleteHave a wonderful Easter.....♥️
Miss V has changed even in the month you were gone - such a pretty young lady.
ReplyDeleteThe rabbit in blue is ever so stately. What good posture he has!
Such colourful oreparations. You decorate so well with beauty and a dash of fun. The eyeball hands are great.
I love, love, love the bunny and basket. Wish I had one just like it. Awww.
Wishing you and yours a delightful Easter, dear Linda! Big hugs. xoxo
T hanks Suzanne....hope you had a great weekend....
DeleteWOW Linda, your house looks so festive and bright!!! Lovely crafty things you and Miss V have congered up. LOVE, love, love the hands! Priceless!!!
ReplyDeleteThat Easter basket is so darn adorable. I will have to print it and show it to Marion. She will "copy" it I'm sure, lol...
Have a wonderful Easter, Linda...
You too ~~Louise~~...
DeleteBeautiful table...love what you did! And that crochet bunny...aw. Adorable! I got the last of my shopping done today and planned the menu and my baking day tomorrow. I do agree that with the early calendar date and the weather, it doesn't feel like Easter at all! We're having ham on Sunday. Baking a carrot cake for the first time. Why I have never done that is a mystery to me! haha. Thought Ree Drummond's recipe would be a sure bet.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Good Friday dinner...and the weekend at the cabin! Hope the weather cooperates for you!
You too Betsy! Weather at the cottage was fabulous!
DeleteEverything is just beautiful. I adore you big bunny holding the carrot, and the large vase of flowers.
ReplyDeleteHow adorable Miss V making her bunny cookies. How cute, I hadn't seen those from Pillsbury. Your table decor is so festive. Yumm, a Turkey Dinner. We do a Easter Picnic after church so all the kids can run and play and find Easter Eggs. The older grandchilden and adults just hang out and EAT.
Hope your whole weekend is marvelous.
I am sure you had a lovely Easter Wanda! Take care.....
DeleteSo sweet - Miss V is precious! Love your centerpieces and pretty table settings. The crocheted basket and bunny are adorable :) We had our dinner last weekend, so we are going to pay our respects to my parents at the cemetery after church, and then go for a lovely spring drive. Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend. xx Karen
ReplyDeleteHope your weather was good....nice and sunny all weekend!
DeleteA wonderful post, a glimpse of your family Easter prep. The table setting is gorgeous, the flowers and the pink sparkle eggs. And a great crotchet project with the pretty basket and bunny. Miss V will love them so much. You have inspired me to make some bunny cookies for my father. I like to take a sweet treat for him when we visit. Happy Easter Linda!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Patricia!
DeleteLovely tablescape, Linda! I love the pink/green colour combo on that little basket. That ice storm was nice, wasn't it?? We lost power, but not for too long. Have a nice weekend with family, and then at the cottage. Maybe the sun will poke out at some point! -Jenn
ReplyDeleteTons of sunshine here Jenn!
DeleteHope you had some too!
the Pillsbury cookies are such a great idea for little hands,, Miss Vee is getting soooo big!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the pink table cloth and its even more special because it was your mums,

DeleteEverything is so cute! Have a wonderful Easter weekend, Linda. We were fortunate that the ice storm didn't really get us either. So happy about that!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Martha!
DeleteHow sweet is that basket and bunny! I would have loved that as a child. And making cookies is the best.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Easter!
You too Kathy!
DeleteIt all looks lovely,Linda...a very Happy Easter to you and your family...xxx
ReplyDeleteAnd to you Sue!
DeleteI was at a client's yesterday that had grape hyacinths all over her front lawn with a gazillion daffodil. I commented on them and she had planted them 45 years ago when she was a young mom. She can no longer tend her garden but the grape hyacinths and daffodil still greet her every spring.
ReplyDeleteJust lovely!
DeleteHappy Easter Barbara!
HI LInda. You've had a busy week prepping for your Easter dinner. Love all the photos and your table looks so pretty and springy. We have ice here but the sun is shining. Have a great time at the cottage and I hope your Easter weekend is spectacular!
