A quick post before taking off to enjoy the Easter weekend.
I have decided to chose yet another stocking for my April ornament.
I figure, why not, I am on a roll! Then I can just do the finishing on all of them at the same time.
I received my package from my Stitched With Love Exchange partner the other day. I can't wait until the reveal so I can share all the goodies with you. My partner truly knows how to put together a great package!
The boys are off this week and I am recovering from a nasty cold, so not much stitching has been going on. Here are a few of my things from years past.
We did get a little yard work done in between baseball practices.
Here are the younger two discussing the strawberry plants.
The yard is finally green and growing!
We have had a robin's nest at the top of a pillar on our front porch for a number of seasons now. This year, a new bird decided to add a smaller nest on top and take up residence.
Fun to watch, but definitely not the cleanest bird!
And these buds,
now look like this..
This is one of my favorite shrubs, it smells so wonderful.
A few more springtime favorites..
These buds will soon be filling the air with their wonderful smell..
I hope you all find time to enjoy the colors, scents and sounds of the season.
May the joys of spring fill your hearts this Easter weekend.

Hope that cold goes away soon -- not fun! My DS is off this week as well. Never as much gets done when the kids are home, right? I like what you picked for your next ornie. Nice to see your stitching from the past too. Such industrious boys you have!
You have some nice Easter decorations! :o) And your pics of the nature are wonderful. I wish you a happy Easter time!

Sorry to here you have had a cold. Hope you are better by Easter! Looks like spring has sprung to me:)
Hope you feel better soon Catherine! Love the Easter decorations and how sweet a birdie made a nest at your home. Happy Easter!
I love your Easter decorations Catherine. I've been very lazy again this year and didn't buy an Easter tree for my newly acquired decorations to hang on!
The photos from your garden make me feel Spring is definitely here. My favourite plant is the dicentra - we have lots of them in our garden - they seem to survive even the harshest of winters and come back year on year.
Have a lovely Easter with your family. XXX
Such beautiful pics! Spring is blooming all around us. Happy Easter!
Chase that cold away girl! Lovely flowers, too bad we don't have smell o' monitors - lol! Wishing you and family a lovely weekend and Happy Hoppy Easter:)
Your Easter decorations and stitching look wonderful! The blooms in your garden are just lovelly. I love when the crabs bloom out and I go for a run and the fragrance is just everywhere! I hope you feel a lot better, real soon!
Hope your cold has taken itself off and you have a great Easter! It looks like spring has sprung in your lovely gardens!

Sorry to hear you have had a cold. YUK! I hope you and your family have a blessed Easter!
Love the pictures of all the plants. Beautiful. The new stocking will be beautiful. Have a great Easter.
Such a lovely post Catherine, love your April ornament chart. The one I have ready is a french black and white chart so I won't show until the end of the month.
Love all your Easter ornaments, and your garden photos looks to me that Spring has sprung in your house.
Cute bird. Your boys look so helpful and so much fun bless them.
That bush you have we have the same one it smells so nice. Happy Easter, hugs.
Oh, I miss my boys helping in the yard! It is all falling on us now and I realize how much we relied on them to pitch in!!
Your bowl of Easter smalls is adorable, Catherine. I've been working on some of my own lately--just can't seem to stop stitching all those little bunnies.
I do hope you feel better very soon--things are too pretty this time of year to be stuck inside with a cold.
Happy Easter, my friend!
Spring colds are yucky. Hope yours go away soon.
Lovely photos, Catherine. Your boys are great with yardwork, aren't they? The Easter basket is filled with lovely stitching too!
Happy Easter Catherine!
I hope that your cold is better.
Lovely pics.
I can't wait to see your spring exchange :)
Happy Easter Catherine!

I hope you cold gets better to enjoy Easter Sunday
Have a great day
Spring and summer colds can be the absolute worst, I hope you get over yours soon. Adorable easter decorations from past years.
Your spring photos are just beautiful. It's too soon for all that beauty around me. It's coming, though.
Happy Easter,
Pam
It is such fun, visiting with you today, and seeing so many of your sweet Easter pieces! I love your little feathered friend, nesting on the corner of your pillar.
The buds of spring are beautiful.
Have a very blessed Easter Day!
Happy Easter!!! :)
Aiks! Hope the cold goes away soon. Lovely pictures, Catherine. Your yard looks lovely and that bird is so cute.
Hugs,
Veronica.
Hope you are feeling much better soon Catherine.
I hope you had a wonderful Easter - I enjoyed the photos !!
I love your bowl of bunny stitching! So adorable Catherine! I hope you get over your cold real soon!! What lovely flower pictures and aww such a sweet birdie too!!
I love your spring and Easter stitching. Hopefully you will get rid of that cold very soon and enjoy some great spring weather.
What great pics! Spring looks so pretty!
Cathy
Having a cold is just the pits. Hope you feel better soon!
Ah yes, yard work. Did mine yesterday and I'm now sneezing. Oh well. I do love spring though.
Your bowl of smalls looks lovely.
I hope you are fully recovered and enjoyed Easter.
I hope you were fully recovered and able to enjoy Easter to the fullest! Love the pics of the bird in the nest. We have some birds building a nest in an air vent (the Irish answer to air conditioning). It's high up, so we haven't been able to see what kind it is, but they sure are loud! LOL
