Good morning, Sweet Friends! A very Happy Monday to you! 💗
I trust that each of you had a great week and a lovely holiday weekend! We had a beautiful Resurrection weekend here with many blessings along the way! 🌷
Tuesday morning I had a doctor appointment; that evening we attended an Easter program that three of our grandchildren were involved in. All of the children in their choir group did a fine job!
I worked Wednesday (library programs) and made jelly. Unfortunately, I was doing too many things at once and put the sugar in before the pectin and the jelly didn't set right. 😞 As soon as I get the supplies I am going to rework it and try to get it to firm up. I will let you know if I'm able to pull it off or not. 😆
Thursday was spent working around the house and making cinnamon rolls. Our oldest granddaughter was in the middle of one of her college classes the other day and messaged her mom saying that she wanted some of Grandma Knox's cinnamon rolls. That's all it took! She got 'em!
Also, on Thursday I signed up as a stylist with Lilla Rose. My kit just arrived! (I'm so excited!) If anyone is interested in shopping or becoming a stylist themselves, click HERE!
I worked Friday and Saturday. Friday evening we dyed and filled eggs and on Saturday evening we had the annual egg hunt for the grands, where our sixteen youngest participated.

Am thinking...
... about the day and week ahead and working on menu plans.
On the breakfast plate...
... leftovers from yesterday's church breakfast...waffles, link sausage, deviled eggs, and, of course, hot tea! 😄
The weather...
... Cloudy and breezy...66 degrees with a high of 76 expected. The ten-day forecast looks perfect! 🌞

I haven't got started on them yet, but plan on re-reading the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder (for the umpteenth time, but with fresh eyes after reading Pioneer Girl and Prairie Fires) and am reading Mother Culture by Karen Andreola.
Online this week...

In the craft basket...
Temperatures this week have been pretty steady, so not a lot of color changes. I do like the way the afghan is progressing, though! 💗
Saved and dried egg shells this weekend to turn into an art medium for future classes.
Have been commissioned through work to make a curtain for an open-faced cabinet we have. I will be using a bison-print fabric.

DeleteNow I want a cinnamon roll!! Love the afghan! Love the crushed egg shells!! Baked spoonbill?? what is this? My cannoli recipe will be on my blog tomorrow. have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteHey, Jodi! Wish I could make you a big pan of cinnamon rolls and share them with you over a cup of hot tea! Spoonbill...it's a Missouri game fish. Google it. Really odd looking fish and they get HUGE! A man in our church shares some with us every year and my cousin always shares the morel mushrooms. I always try to cook that first batch of each together for a real taste of wild Missouri! I'm going to be gone all day tomorrow, but will be looking forward to catching that recipe as soon as I can! Blessings for a wonderful week ahead! <3
DeleteSounds and looks like you had a fabulous family Easter get together! Your afghan is coming along nicely and those cinnamon rolls look amazing. Wonderful pictures! Have a WONDERFUL week.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Threesides! You have a wonderful week, too! Blessings! <3
DeleteSounds like you had a fabulous Easter. We're at the stage where we had for the very first time, no kids small enough to hunt eggs with us at Brunch. How lucky to have someone willing to share Morel mushrooms with you! Such a beautiful Iris, makes me anxious for a few blooms but I don't think I'll get any this year since I moved them. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean! We did have a fabulous Easter and hope you did, too! Yes, the morel mushrooms were a real treat. I fixed them for supper tonight along with the spoonbill! They may not bloom this year, but next year your irises will be beautiful! Blessings for a beautiful week ahead! <3
DeleteI hope you get the glasses sorted out, and goodness you had a busy week. I love cinnamon rolls, and yours just made me want some lol
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a blessed week so far :)
Thanks, Sandra! Hope you're having a blessed week so far, too! Thanks for stopping in and thanks for all you do! <3
DeleteLove all the Springy Easter pics in this post! Your granddaughters are so cute!! And the candy and eggs & flowers - all yay for Spring being sprung ;0)
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing spoonbill is a kind of fish? WAsnt' sure of that on your menu. I hope they get your glasses and eye stuff sorted out. And it looks like your hubby has cataract stuff too? Prayers for you both!
Blessings on the rest of your week xoxo
Thanks, Carrie! Yes, spoonbill is a kind of fish...a very ODD kind of fish, but it's delicious! Tastes kind of like salmon fillets. Thanks for the prayers. Yes, John goes tomorrow for his consultation. From there we should get a surgery date. Blessings for a great rest of the week! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks for the scoop Rebecca - and the fish education! Lol xoxo
DeleteLOL! You're welcome, Carrie! If you get time, Google it and you'll see what an odd-looking fish it really is! :O
