Easter Time

 This is one of my favourite times of the year....i love the spring, easter decorations, the colours and the flowers and the sun shining .............it has been bright and sunny as well as rainy and windy this easter weekend....we all put our sweaters back on when saturday dawned grey and chilly after a warm and sunny good friday......

 ..............here is a little flowery crochet garland i made for my easter shelves this year.....

 .............the flowers were made from leftover yarn scraps and i made a long green chain to hang them on......

 ..............on good friday i spent some time pottering in the greenhouse, tending to my plants and watering the newly sprung seedlings in there............lolly the bunny was there too keeping me company and wearing her beloved easter dress..............

 ..............the little watering can here belonged to my mum and i think of her whenever i use it......she loved growing flowers and plants too.............

 ................my elder daughter and son in law hosted our family easter party this year at their (recently moved to) lovely home......my daughter found lots of colourful decorations like the paper hanging easter eggs here.............the children had an egg hunt in their new garden, and we all admired the frogs and frog spawn in the pond, the newly painted garden shed (with bunting) and the spring flowers and blossom trees..........

 ............the table filled with easter cakes and little daisy choosing one....in her other hand she held a red lead with molly (our little woolly dog) at the other end of it...........daisy and molly are very best friends...........

 ..................sarah's mini egg chocolate crispy cakes......one of my favourite treats.............

 ...............there are spring flowers everywhere this week...........pink tulips and hyacinths on the shelves.............pink tulips on the kitchen table............

 ..................and snippets of flowers from the garden being arranged in little glass bottles...........

 ..............the sun is peeking out again here today and we are going for a long walk soon followed later by a roast dinner.........

................thank you for all your kind and thoughtful easter wishes dear readers, and for visiting me here in my little blog space............wishing you a sunny spring week with lots of happy crafty times...............back soon........xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
