Hello everyone!!!
What an April it has been...
Lots of crochet flowers...and butterflies...can't help myself!!!
Oh...and the Crowns...they were a big hit!!
Made one for Miss V...one for Miss N...one for my daughter Lissa...and one for my grandson due this month!!!
Miss N is so hard to get a clear shot of!!! Busy as a little bee...chatting up a storm...and just LOVES playing with her bug cousin...
And....Miss V feels the same way about her!!! She will make a great big sister!!!
Easter was a different kind of meal...
As you know...we have many different food choices going on here!
Celiac...vegetarian...Vegan...
So.....I made gluten free meat lasagna...and 2 pans of lazy cabbage rolls...which are also gluten free!!
I managed 2 desserts...both gluten free...the apple berry crisp was divine...and who can resist the key lime pie...
My daughters and DIL contributed to the meal...so everyone was happy!!
My daughter Lissa gifted me the sweet bird house and a Rae Dunn garden sign...
My daughter Erika brought me Gerbera Daisies and a lovely Hydrangea...
What a luck Mom I am...
I gave all the big girls a crochet washcloth and a lovely bar of face soap...
The wee gals got a basket of goodies...some clothes...and a Butterfly!!! Oh...and of course their Crowns! hahaha!!
Miss V had visited earlier in the week, and got busy baking up a delightful banana/blueberry loaf...and...she sure does love her Papa 💚
We had some tree work done at the cottage earlier in the week...and the ice is finally gone from the Lake...
I have so many more pics to share!!! I need to find more time for blogging...
Thanks to all of you who follow me over on Instagram...such a lovely bunch you all are...and I appreciate all your comments...really...💙
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So....May has arrived...bringing rain with it...and flooding to the Eastern part of this great country...my thoughts are with all the people in Ottawa and Quebec who are affected by Natures fury....
Lets hope May is kinder...and lets us spend some much needed garden time and leisure outside...
Oh...that painted wooden board??? A recent thrifty buy for 50cents...
Worth every penny............😉
See you all soon.....
Cheers! :o)

We decided to have our family Easter Dinner on Good Friday...
That way...the weekend is free for other activities...and visiting others...
I got a few appetizers together, and everyone brought something to add...
My daughter Erika, had given me 5 HUGE bunches of different coloured Tulips!
I had them everywhere...they sure can cheer up a room!!
Miss V had made the Bunnies for Papa and I...and one for her Mom and her Aunts ♥️...
My daughter Lissa brought me a gorgeous potted Hydrangea...
Apparently the blooms change colour! Can't wait to see that!!
Miss V added a few Easter Eggs to my front door display of fresh flowers...
It took me forever to get the Christmas one out!! Frozen solid!!
We want warmer temps!!!
Auntie Lissa brought Miss V a basket of goodies...these cute Bunny Glasses were included!!
Later in the evening...Miss V grabbed me, and we went out to capture the Full Moon...she took pics of it on her Ipad...a girl after her old Nana's heart ♥️
Little Miss N is growing quickly!!
My son took these photos...
Above she is modelling the hat and sweater I made her...
And this is her all dressed up to see her other Nana!!
She is very shy...
I did not get any good pics of her at all...:o(
But...she sure is a delicate little doll!!
We visited the cottage last Saturday...
Still pretty nipply, but all the ice and snow has gone...
Boyfriend got the water on!!!
YIPPEEEE!!!
Now...if Mother Nature co-operates, we will be sleeping over in no time!
Tulips and Daffodils bursting thru the leaves...
More raking......
Chickadees are back...
Made a delicious beef stew with the leftover roast beef...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hope you are all well....and had an enjoyable Easter weekend with your loved ones...
Time seems to be slipping by so quickly these days...SLOW DOWN!!!
I have had my hair cut this am, and plan to sew up a few outdoor cushions this afternoon...
Rain headed our way...LOTS of rain...And WIND...geesh...and maybe some
snow on Friday.....
I need some warmth...who's with me?????
Enjoy your day...
See you soon...
Cheers! :o)

Hope that you are all well and had a lovely Easter weekend...
We had our meal on the Friday...which turned out to the best day of the weekend!
Rain and clouds moved in for the remainder....
Miss V had a great time...loved all her Easter treats...💜
This handsome fella kept me company while I dressed up the front step for Easter....
I managed to finish 3 cotton crocheted dishcloths for the girls as an Easter treat...
I gave Miss V a small basket...and a garden tool belt...she was in heaven!!
We got the Pumpkin seeds planted yesterday, as there was a PD day from school...
We also baked...raked...rode...walked...coloured...PHEW!!!
Have a great week...
I hope to be back before it is over......
Cheers! :o)
