Our mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions....

Where did my motivation & drive go???

Have been so unmotivated this week.  I am working an extra day (so 4 days this week) and that is good-right?  Did some cleaning in the yard tonight and a funeral last night.  I did get a spiral put into the Dream Big book that I am making.  It is very inexpensive to do.  Under 5.00 and they did it while I waited.  Now I have to finish the journaling in this book.
Pete was mellow tonight while I puttered...

The morning after Easter

What a wonderful Easter Sunday!  About 60 degrees and sunny.   Wanted to share the pie I made for Easter lunch.  It was cherry blackberry and grandma's recipe for piecrust.


Of course a few dyed eggs for a centerpiece.

Thursday

Yesterday started with another 6:30 church service and another snow!

There was a little time after church before work so I stopped at a Caribou Coffee and read.

By the time I got to work...



Had a great Maundy Thursday.  I met with my craft group at Archivers after I stopped at Carlson Towers to visit Micaela at a craft sale she was doing there.




  I worked some more on my "Dream Big" book and spent some time with my good friends.  My friend Lois had done some cutting of church fabric and gave me her finished pile of fabric!

Tuesday.

Having a little motivation blip. *sigh*  Attended a quick church service this morning. Worked in the yard for about and hour and a half.   Micaela came over for a few hours and we priced some of her "felties" for her sale tomorrow and Thursday.  I had gotten a couple of coats of white paint on the shutter display she was using and she took that with.  Did some cutting of church fabric.  Need to get out of this funk... Pete isn't motivated either- maybe its the weather....it's supposed to snow tonight.
My pile of 3" strips.

My basket of 2" and 2 1/2" strips.

Finally, the basket of miscellaneous size strips.

I think it is time to get sewing.

Palm Sunday

Spent a good portion of today at church.  Went to 8:30 church but ducked out after communion to help with the selling of all of the baked goods and a few spring crafts.  Got home about 1:30.  Visited our 91 year old neighbor and we talked for over 2 hours.  I did get a first coat of white paint on a display that Micaela is going to use at her sale this week.

A Spring Saturday?

This is what I woke up to this morning!
Most of the day was spent at church working towards the
 Palm Sunday Bake Sale.
These were some of the views of the day...

Decorating Easter sugar cookies.

Baking Swedish Kringle.

Got some more of the wallpaper off in the familyroom
 (still working on the first wall!)

Made a string of 20 felt pennants for Micaela's upcoming craft show next week.

Spring Tuesday.

Beautiful spring day.  Mended the cover of the T@B, cleaned gardens for a couple hours, signed up for a lawn fertilizing program, visited with one of our pastors, removed more wallpaper and wrestled with the sheets from the trailer to add another one for a duvet cover.  Quiet but busy day.
