Easter dress and egg hunt...

Hi Everyone!  I just had to show you the cutest little girl in her Easter dress.  This is Chance Elizabeth.  She lives next door to my parents and came over for the Easter egg hunt along with my cousins children.  Chance is the happiest child I've ever seen.  She says hi to everyone and smiles all the time.  Don't you just love that dress?

Here she is enjoying the hunt along with my cousin's youngest child, Kennedy.

Don't you just love the pig tails?

I hope you enjoyed your Easter holiday.  Well, thanks for stopping by.

Table centerpieces...

Hi Everyone!  I just had to share with you the table centerpieces that my mother made for Easter.  Aren't they cute!  The flowers and eggs are sitting inside glass jars inside the container so the container can be used again and again!  My mom does it up right for every gathering, holiday, birthday, get together we have and this was no exception! 

Thanks for making everything special Mom!  And thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter...

Hi Everyone!  Happy Easter.  I hope you all have a great weekend and get to spend time with your families.

I will be going to my parents home on Sunday and meeting up with my cousins, my cousins' children, my uncle and of course my parents.  I hope you have a Happy Easter.  See you back here on Monday!  Thanks for stopping by.

Easter...

I thought I'd show you a couple of the Easter "trees" that I made for the shop. They are decorated with wooden bunnies, paper-mache eggs, wooden ducks, and decorated metals eggs.

I love the bunny in the carrot. It has wire whiskers. Sorry I didn't take a close up of the bunny.

This is probably my favorite Easter tree. The tree is made out of wrapped wire that is formed to make a tree. There's a wooden dowel in the middle of the tree limbs to help support it. Then I drilled a hole in the block of wood and glued a piece of PVC pipe into it (it's hidden by the fence and nesting). The dowel and wrapped wire slips down into the pipe and is glued into place. Then it's just a matter of making the limbs into the shape you want and attaching the ornaments which I had already painted.

I really liked how this turned out and it didn't take very long. I had everything already (left over from other projects). Next time I'll try to take step by step pictures. I get started on something and always seem to forget that. Well, thanks for stopping by.
