A Quick March Through April

What a month...Hope the weeds haven't grown up too high to see over around here. Kept meaning to get back here, then some other thing would happen. It's difficult to know what to say about anything during such times...We watched all the events of this month with a myriad of emotions, like everyone else. Somehow everything looms too big to talk about - though it seems rather blythely trivial to talk about anything else, to just yack about the little things going on. Yet those are the stuff life is made of...the small, everyday good things I most want to remember about this month.

So after cleaning out loads of weeds in the yard, it's time to clear them out here too. Try to pick up where we left off. We had a wonderful Easter with as much family as could get here (and those that couldn't, were thankfully only a skype call, away).   Tinkered around before hand, helping the Easter bunny with a few things like remembering how to cross-stitch (and mostly did, except for getting a little off-center).

Made a lot of little charms for people I love and a few that went to the shop too. (You can click on them to see them bigger. They're teeny tiny so had to take their pic through a magnifying glass!)

Also worked on developing a magnetic personality, or a dozen...

And get well cards for good friends.

There have been spelling bees, spring plays, and garden shows with the grandgirls. And the yearly local garden tour, of course.I've taken you there with me the last 7 years, I wouldn't dream of stopping now!

Now that the path's been cleared, I'll work on getting those tour pictures up for you.

I think May would be the perfect month for going down the garden path...

Hope you'll come along...

Wonderful to see you here again Tink.. Blogglandia missed your delightful wit. I love the charms and magnetic sillohuettes.
How did you get them so small? So curious. I am working on an old time ptoject & would love to include some bottle top art like yours.

Thanks, Gemma. Reduce your images down to 20 or 25% when printing. Will do a how-to on those and working with shrink plastic, if there's interest. Let me know.
p.s. Forgot to credit that last photo. That gnome and his mushrooms live in my sister's lovely garden.
