It is a beautiful morning here today, the day before
Easter. The day calls me to stay outside and my problem
is where to start first. Days like today I am so thankful
for life and spring and all that I have been given.

Last week was the Friday sew in and I am only a week
late but I finally did finish what I was working on.
It is a little ditty from Primitive Betty's
She really does have my favorite little projects to do.
They always make me happy.

I thought that since Easter is tomorrow I needed to finish
it up. It isn't that big but it still took me a month to finish it.
I hung it in my kitchen.

I also rearranged the house yesterday, and as my son
was carrying furniture back and forth inside and outside,
He looked at me and said, " You know in a week, I am going
to have to move it all back." I just laughed but he is a good
sport.

I moved my bench into my living room with that catty-
corner wall. It is okay for now I think. I still love my star
board. I usually get sick of things that I made that I stare at all of the time
but I still really like that one. I have even been thinking of making
one on a smaller size and also doing a hooked rug like it. I really do
like those shapes.
Here is a close up of my bench.

I will be working on the porches today. Not to mention
weeding some more. So it will be a wonderful day.
I hope your day is wonderful too.

I love your star board too. And that little postcard pillow on the bench is sweet. It reminds me of a beach towel I had as a kid that was a postcard.

I doubled clicked on your bench and fell in love with you embroided pillows. Lovely!! Have a productive day puttering in your yard. It's raining here today so I'll be giving my house a much needed cleaning. Have a wonderful Easter with your family.

That Easter piece is dang cute, Kim! Betty designs such sweet pieces. I am not one for moving my furniture around, but I think it's fun when others do it. Sounds like you have a full day planned.

Oh Kim your home is so lovely and everything is in it's place. Did you make the star board? wonderful idea! You have lovely weather and flowers and today I have rain and snow showers, I hope the Easter Bunny owns a pair of snow shoes! Have a wonderful Easter Day with your beautiful family. Thinking of you and sending blessings. BTW did you get a new dish washer? I just replaced my kitchen faucet, it sprayed right out the top!!! A flaw in the faucet.
