At times things seem just pefect and then after you think about it for a few moments, you realize that with a few quick, cheap changes, it could be fabulous . . .

A Work in Progress

I started with this, dark beautiful china hutch with egg and dart molding.

I am working on this look.  Off white on the outside and Zen from Behr on the inside.  I love this Zen color and thought I might take a chance that someone else would love it too!  I will have this finished tonight and then it will be off to Main Street Antique Mall in Mesa, AZ tomorrow.  It is just beautiful.  Let me know what you think.

Happy Quilting,

Happy Easter Morning

A beautiful bird nest with Aqua egg from a french antique store.  My aqua antique vase from a recent trip to a different antique store.  It is already claimed by one daughter.

Bella Diva provided these metal birds in just the right stage of antiquing.

My Home Goods bunnies decorate the shelf above my sink.

This cutie came from Joann's

It wouldn't be Easter without a Chocolate Bunny from Lindt.  A gift from a dear friend.

And then there are the violets, 6 plants currently, all in bloom for this beautiful Easter Day!

My fondest Easter Wishes for all of you today.

This is a wonderful Easter Morning!  The temperature is a balmy 65 at 7:30am and the flowers are blooming.  We went to a beautiful Easter Pagent this week that stirred our hearts.  The Mesa Temple Easter Pagent is attended by our family each year, it is a tradition that has gone on for 20 years.  We have an easter egg hunt while there.  The children love it.

Happy Quilting,

Aqua Needle Wallet

This is the usual embroidery mess I work with. The needle wallet will be a better fit for me.






Are you tired of the Aqua fabric yet?? I am getting there. I made this needle wallet so that it would be able to hold embroidery on a hoop plus your thread, needles, scissors, markers, thimble, seam ripper, etc. It is not too big for the car or sofa in the evening and everything stays neat and tidy . . .

Happy Quilting,
