*Alive*

 
Happy Easter! What a wonderful day of celebration.    Since Bean was on a visit, I was really looking forward to breakfast at church this morning before our service. Well, that ended up being a no go. I woke up early enough to sip some coffee, take a shower, and not have to rush to church with only half of my makeup on. Before I got out of bed I grabbed my laptop, checked my email quick, looked at the time and thought "hmm, I def have enough time to just lay back down for a couple of minutes and keep warm."  That couple of minutes turned into 3 1/2 hours! Next thing I knew, I heard the dog barking because the cutest nephew in the entire universe (I call him Nugget) came for an Easter visit. I hopped out of bed, ran down stairs to smooch my Nugget, then looked at the clock. 11:30am. WHATTT?!  Not only had I missed my delicious Easter breakfast, but I also missed the entire church service. Sadness.

I guess i may have been a little tired because of the upcycling craftiness that went on until wee hours last night. (I blame the Lifetime Movie Network and all of their foolish movies that I simply cannot turn off. ever.) I got a little crazy with some fabric flowers I had previously made, but hadn't actually done anything with. Seeing as I was glued to LMN, I just kept plugging away at mostly headbands and a few other fun little guys.

Grammy's mumu flowers, old t-shirt and old skirts

More Mumu flowers.

 So, even though my day did not start at all how I planned, I was still able to get a few things done before Bean got home. Once she was home we went to a yummy dinner with family, came home and relaxed. She got to enjoy goodies from her basket while watching "Tangled" (which she got from the Easter Bunny) and I got to finish out my weekend with one more project. Yet another skirt for Bean, and my first attempt at pockets and ric rac.

a little Sunday Funday skirt for the Bean with a perfect sized pocket to take some Peeps for the road

my first pocket. ain't she cute?!

I'm such a blessed girl. Crazy Great family, my Snuggle Bean, and so much more. I am so thankful for all that God has given me and that I am able to celebrate Him being Alive. That creates delight in my heart.
