This is a seriously busy time of year. There are 3 birthdays and Easter all within one week of each other, plus another birthday and Mother's Day right around the corner. All of which are celebrated 3hours away from our home. Thankfully cramming two dogs and a baby into our tiny civic over and over again never gets old!

ps. I decided the wee one was in fact too wee for a fancy outfit for Easter. Instead he's wearing blue and white striped pants with a bunny on the butt, and a white onesie with yellow and white striped sleeves and a little chick on the chest. You can be sure that it is the cutest thing ever. :)

Flickr Favorites - The Weekend

1. African Flower blanket, 2. indie chic wrist cuff, 3. Moe cosy, 4. mini golf... flickr style :)

Being that it was Easter Weekend, we headed north on Thursday evening for a nice visit with my family. The weather was beyond beautiful. It was bright and sunny, and I was able to wear skirts every single day (yay!)

I busted out the clubs and brushed up on my (not so fantastic) golf skills. When my arms no longer wanted to swing back and forth I headed to my mom's house for hours and hours of sewing. We made about half a dozen of these adorable wrist cuffs, as well as two tote bags, a couple zippered pouches, and lots of embroidered felt brooches to adorn said pouches and totes. She did the sewing, I did the embroidering and fabric picking!

I also spent some time working on a crocheted floral blanket which is part of a crochet-a-long on ravelry. Right now the look of the blanket is secret, but when it's time I will certainly share pictures. It is my favorite crocheted project to date!

And of course, Easter would not have been complete with a little Easter Egg hunt (even if my brother, husband, and I are well into our 20's) complete with candy and 3 gift cards to a coffee shop (of which I was the only person to not find a single card).

I had a wonderful weekend, and hope you did too!
Tomorrow you can be on the look out for a new animal in the shop :)
