On a scale of totally crappy weeks, this one is near the top, but spring is in the air, so I am feeling hopeful for better things to come.
Sara and Eva are off to Southern California on a Spring Break adventure, and the photos they are sending me seem to indicate they are having fun.
I sure am missing them though.
I did a bit of sewing, and my husband and I took a drive to a local winery that is known for its fabulous Easter tulip and other bulb displays and we were not disappointed. The photo at the top of the post is one I took with my camera, and it looked just like that. The colors were incredible and the scent of the hyacinths was so strong! It really put me in the frame of mind to think that spring and other good things are on the way.
Those are tulips if you can believe it.
These are the last three Sewcialites blocks I have made. Only one more and we are done!
After our excursion to the winery to see the spring bulb display, we came home and made lamb chops with balsamic cherry tomatoes. That was a spring dinner for sure. What a treat.
Hope it feels like spring is finally on its way wherever you are. Be grateful for the people in your life who support you and love you. Happy Easter and have a great weekend!
Happy Easter Nicole to you and your family! Spring can’t come fast enough this year. Your flower pictures certainly lift my spirits as we just got another dump of snow! Enjoy the weekend!

Sorry about crappy week. Hope things will look up soon. We’ve been battling all the weeds here in the high desert. I’m afraid to see what’s under all the snow at our little cabin. Lots of work there too I bet. Your blocks are looking great. I’m hoping to get in the sewing room today myself. Happy Easter!

Your girls look like they're having fun! Sara is looking more & more like you! The flowers at the winery are gorgeous...I think I can smell them from here! We had another 5" of snow in Western Wyoming earlier this week, but as they say, we need the moisture. Perhaps we'll get Spring in a month or so! Have a nice Easter weekend! 🌷🌼🌸

relationships are hard. :( sometimes I just want to stay in bed and ignore everyone and everything.
I haven't made lamb chops in ages. My husband loves them. I do too.
the sky is gloomy here. I've been staying up late and working on the monsters applique. it calms my mind.

Happy Easter! Sara looks like a mini me I think, such pretty girls! Is the winery you went to Iromstone? I know they have really pretty gardens and bulbs this time of year. Hope your week gets better!
