At My Reading Table

Well, I am thrilled to have a week's vacation, but with my luck as it is,

I landed a flu/cold on the very first day.

So, while recovering, here is the wonderful book I am reading.

It's another historical fiction novel, which I find myself attracted to lately...so unlike me! Embroidery is behind the story...very intriguing.

Almost There...

I love to teach, but I must say that I am looking forward to having my spring vacation next week.

Aaah, a week to catch up,
read, relax with mugs of hot coffee,

and to create!

A little piece of heaven for which I am truly grateful...

Spring Goodness

While I haven't been especially good at spring cleaning yet, I have taken lots of walks in the warmer air and sunshine, breathed deeply, smiled, and made some springtime inspired new fabric goodies for PaperPumpkin.

Hope you like these new push pin sets, and I hope you brighten up your workspace & bulletin boards for your own spring cleaning! Have a wonderful week!

Some Spring

I believe that snow said goodbye yesterday, for the last time. I think spring is guaranteed now as those flakes disappeared and the sun is shining brightly today. It feels so good.

I've been enjoying Easter all week! Here are some eggs that Mia dyed for our Easter Dinner last Sunday. She used vintage silk ties. Aren't they gorgeous? Very creative, and she said that they were easy and fun to make!

Have a wonderful weekend! I hope you all feel spring's sunshine on your face. ♥

April Journaling

My art journaling relaxes me and makes me feel really happy. I smile to myself when I am in my PaperPumpkin room, creating. How wonderful it is to have a small, private, happy space in the world.

Do you have a space in this big world that is yours? What makes you feel really content?

Happy Easter, my friends! Spring joys to you!
