Easter was a smashing success, though we never managed to take a family picture. For all three of us to be still, be clean, be dressed, and have someone else available to snap a picture while it’s nice and sunny… well, it is very difficult. Even with friends over, we couldn’t get our act together long enough for them to take the picture for us. Alas, maybe another Sunday.
Emily got some egg-shaped sidewalk chalk this year, though she wasn’t sure what to do with it. Anything remotely resembling a ball should be thrown, in her opinion. To be fair, she scribbled a little bit before she started picking at the little sticks and dead grass near her.
I refurbished the dress I showed you here for her to wear to church. Emily pranced around in it before we left–like she just knew she was sooo pretty. Feminine instinct, my friend.
Here’s a round-up of her Easter booty. One bunny, a chick, an extra set of bunny ears, 3 eggs, a tin bucket, and a sweet, store-bought lamb from family. I apologize for the not-so-artful picture. I snapped it just moments before Emily found her new friends.
Look at that serious face.
Soon after meeting and greeting all her new pals, Emily began the meticulous relocation of Every. Single. Thing. Evan says she gets this tendency from me.
The rest of our day was filled with yummy food, friends, games, and a relaxing good time. I hope yours was just as splendid!

Very sweet! Have I already mentioned that I love the dress makeover? For various reasons, church didn’t happen for us on Sunday but we still had a great weekend. I so want to learn to knit and crochet little toys! I can knit and crochet a square :( so our little cloth dollies have plenty of blankets, towels, mattresses etc, but that’s as close as I get, lol.

Oh gee, that is too precious! I love her very serious face while having the bunny ears on her head. Did you make all those crochet items? They look fantastic!

Er, knit items. I must say that your remake of the yellow dress is HUGELY improved. It is now absolutely adorable with with the white flower design and the yellow trim.

Hey Kristena - thanks for stopping by - I came over to visit here, and WOW!! First I was amazed at how big Emily is now (time FLIES!), and then I was amazed and super-impressed with scrolling through and seeing all of your adorable crafts and knits! You are so gifted! I wish we could live closer to each other and you could share the wealth of knowledge!!! I love to quilt but haven’t gotten very good at knitting so far. And tell Evan his yummy treats look good, too!!
I will be in touch! Take care!
