spring cheer

..

As I peeked into the drawers that hold our seasonal nature table creations I was somewhat surprised to find more colorful little eggs than I thought we had. I forgot about some that I had needle felted last year, though of course I remembered the "giant preppy easter egg".

I spent my evenings last week knitting two more colorful eggs and an "easter bunny", from this simple pattern. It has a cute little tail...

The girls arranged the nature table on Sunday, after they searched not once, but twice, for all the hidden easter eggs. The hiding and searching happened indoors though, it was such a rainy day!

A nice cozy day with leftover hot cross buns and tea at breakfast, and the baking of some special bread in the afternoon to go with our simple dinner of soup and asparagus.

I must admit though that we really wouldn't have minded having some warmth and sun.

Eventually that rain turned to snow. It has been fairly dreary, and really very cold. So we are needing to make extra efforts to seek cheer and warmth!


On a recent sunny day the kitchen was feeling quite cheerful to me so I took a few pictures.

I was also intentionally taking pictures of the cluttered counter top. I tend to have a hard time with clutter, but it was seeming kind of pretty to me that day, so I was trying to embrace that...

Hope you have been finding warmth and cheer in your days!
