I'm working on the binding on my teapot quilt.  This is the back, and all the swirly stitching I did around the teapots.

I'm working on painting our half bath this week.

Easter basket remnants.

March 27, 2016

I hid eggs for the kids in the front yard.  I put candy in them, so my husband went out and got a few for himself too.  I think there might still be one out there- we never seem to be able to find all of them.

My daughter played some Minecraft tonight.

March 24, 2016

My husband worked on one of our plastic machines today.

This is pretty much the extent of my Easter decorations- spring flowers and a pastel bow on my horseshoe reindeer.

These are some buds on my red maple in the back yard.

March 20, 2016

We carved another dove, and engraved 'Peace' below it.  It's pine, which doesn't seem to carve as well as sassafrass did.

It's starting to look green outside.

I had homework- 10 pictures of my daughter growing up.  I ended up going out and getting a new photo printer to print them.

The honeybees love my crocus.  I always see a lot of them when the crocus bloom, then they seem to disappear until the oregano blooms.  They also love oregano.  Sometimes we wonder what oregano honey tastes like.

I started my second Sunbonnet Sue square.  I am still working on how to add lightning bugs.  I found glow-in-the-dark thread to make them.

March 12, 2016

We took the buckets down and taps out of the maple trees.  Syrup season is done.

March 11, 2016

My daughter got her hair cut yesterday.

March 10, 2016

We milled this design out of sassafrass for my brother's church.

March 9, 2016

The crocus all suddenly started blooming.

March 8, 2016

It's getting warm.  We gathered sap again.

March 6, 2016

I've made about a gallon and a half of syrup.  We looked at the store, it's about $20 for a quart, so this is about $120 of syrup.  It's been below freezing the last couple days, but we'll probably have one or two more days to get sap before it gets too warm.

March 5, 2016

The crocus are popping up.

March 4, 2016

This is what my pots look like after I boil maple sap.  I don't know what causes all those spots.  They don't clean off, but they do eventually wear away.

March 3, 2016

I made cookies for a school fun night.

March 2, 2016

We had several nice days.  Yesterday was pretty nice.  Then I woke up this morning to this.

March 1, 2016

I got some more sap boiled down today.
