Happy Easter - A fowl post

Here they are... aviary and their progeny.




Which came first, the chick or the egg?



or







I've got my ducks in a row!




The eggs are from the Curly Purly pattern I'll probably wind up making a dozen or so. Then I can put them away in an egg box for storage with the rest of the easter stuff. So far, I have 4 done. I had started another but ripped it out today while sitting in the dentist chair.

I went shopping after the dentist today. Just to my local Hancock's to see if they had any Lion Brand Cotton left. They have yarn left..... I wound up bringing home 17 skeins of cotton for a great price. Not my first pick in colors but usuable ones, navy, forest green, black and red white & blue ombre. I also picked up some other cotton yarn - 3 skeins, looks to be about a crochet weight, that I thought would be good for making bookmarks... It was all 40% off. I'll go back when the other yarns (cashmere blend...) are reduced a bit more. DS2 was sound asleep on my shoulder the whole time!

Here is a picture of the last basket. I won't bore you with the details since it's all been posted before.


And the three together with all their knitty stuff in them.

I hit the nail right on the head with DDs comment. It was the first thing out of her mouth that her brother's basket was larger than hers.... I know that little girl too well! But on the other hand she was an angel in church both Friday and Sunday AND she stepped up to the plate and changed 2 diapers for me on Sunday... one even had a little package in it. Gotta love that kid! :-)

We went to my brother and SILs for dinner on Sunday and as usual, the food was out of this world. I took along empanadas for our kids and we brought dessert. I had all good intentions of making everything, but DS2 decided that he wanted to be a night owl on Saturday, so the intentions never came to fruition. DH made an apple crisp (his signature dish) and we bought 2 cakes at Cramer's in Yardley.

While there, I bid on and won 1 pound of grease wool from Peace Fleece for 99¢ on eBayOf course, my infamous Dory brain took over and I forgot to take mom her slippers and dad his book AND the camera.... DH will have to play runner for me this week! Sometimes I think if it wasn't attached, I'd forget my head

I figured out the federal taxes tonight... Now I need to put the numbers on the forms. And do the state and local. At least we'll see some $ back this year... I guess there is a benefit to all those kids (OK I know, it's only 3 but sometimes it feels like a lot more!) I think I should change my W-4 though... I rather have the money all year than wait to get it back. (I like to think of it like having a little savings account or vacation fund)

OK... too late for me.. work in the morning and I still need to finish those taxes.Good thing I've got until the 17th this year. Hopefully they'll be out before the weekend though. I had wanted to get so much more done this holiday time... oh well... life goes on. too much to do, too little time!

happy crafting
