Spring is in the Air!

It sure felt like Spring yesterday and today! The temps are were close to 50 degrees yesterday and today though it drops to the 20's at night. It still will be cold but I keep dreaming of Spring! Thinking of my garden and buying my vegetable plants and flowers. I can't help but wish the days away till Spring comes. I always loved Winter. Now it just makes things a little more difficult. I will always love my cozy snow days though! I went outside today and decided to get a head start on the clean up! I cleaned up the yard from the Winter storms and my gardens are clean and ready to be planted.

I have Easter and St Patrick's Day on my mind but still haven't finished decorating. My son has home tutors due to his illness and it makes it hard to have consistent time to stick to one project lately :(   I'll get it all done! I did find this really cute idea on the computer that I think I will make:

Here's a little bunny in my foyer:

Out came my little St Patrick's Day gal:

It's always a joy to take her out! Don't you miss certain things you put away each year? I'm that way with a few things for all the holidays. It breaks my heart to pack them up when the holiday is over. For now, she's here to stay!

Have a great night!

Valentine Wishes

Good Morning! Happy Valentine's Day weekend! The Northeast is in a deep freeze--our temps are at near 0 and the wind chills make it even colder. February is like that! Enjoying my Valentine tree for another day or two before it transforms into Easter. Wow! Hard to believe that Easter is almost here.

I have actually seen daffodils and hyacinth plants in the supermarkets but I can't bring myself to buy them cause it just feels like Spring is MONTHS away!!!! Maybe when this deep freeze ends.

I received some lovely Valentine ornaments in the mail to add to my tree. I just love them!

School is closed for a week ---Winter Recess as of Monday. Caitlin and I have some plans with friends and we are also working on her science fair board. We are doing density tests and layered liquids. In the end, our graduated cylinder looks like a rainbow of liquids!

I finally finished my new border in the laundry room. We had repainted our basement  a lovely prim color called peanut butter and this is my new border:

That's about if for me! Making a big pot of corned beef and cabbage and red potatoes for dinner tonight. I think I need to make a cake today too. Cold weather makes me want to cook!

Enjoy your Day!

Snow Days!

good Morning! Another snow day for the kids! School was closed Friday and today as well...it doesn't look too hopeful for Tuesday or Wednesday wither because we have periods of snow for those days too. That's fine with us!

I saw some cute ideas on Pinterest for tiered trays and baskets and really liked this one since I have so many resin birds. I love them and thought it would be nice to copy this particular one.

There were some beauties for Easter as well. Do you prefer Easter in March or April? I think I prefer April. I associate Easter with Spring and it just doesn't seem like Spring here in March.

I'm also working on a copy of this:

I love crafts I can do that incorporate buttons! What are you working on?

Good Morning!

Good Morning Friends! I just love this photo above (I didn't take it) but I adore it! I did take this photo Sunday morning:

Beautiful cardinals. I love them. Did you know you will always see them in pairs? Husband and wife. Never leave each other's side.

So we had a big snow a couple weeks back. 27 inches to be precise. We were quite buried and although I enjoy snow, that was a little too much plus it made it a bit difficult for my husband to handle his job site in NYC.  We live an hour away and usually NYC gets less than us here on Long Island but this time they got equally bombarded. It's all good though! My front door sure looked pretty!

My Valentine tree is ready to go. Though I keep adding things we make to it. I didn't get to do as much this year but I am so pleased with this tree!

My son even brought back an ornament from his South Carolina trip for it. I think I'll either do St Patrick's Day next or skip right to Easter! Though I always decorate for St Patrick's Day too!

This is just a pretty image of one of the windows in my livingroom. I love seeing the snow fall!

Look at my recent acquisitions:

Pasta Bowl

Platter

I love all my rooster stuff! Can never have enough!

Oh, and I knew there was one more thing...I made a very cute button garland for my kitchen tree:

It looks prim and adorable!

Hope your day is wonderful!
