More Patterns Coming Soon
Hi, everyone!
I should have more patterns up for you soon. I have been very ill, and rather than getting better, I seem to be getting worse. I tried to stay up to crochet last night but I fell asleep. I just couldn’t hold my eyes open…I’m not used to this lack of energy.
I can’t believe it’s almost Easter! It’s a blessing I’m sick now, I guess, so I’ll be better before the big day. My daughter wants to have an egg hunt. I have them at home now. One year I took her to a big community one and it was heartbreaking. They were supposed to let all of the kids go and hunt and the eggs, but when it started, all of the parents grabbed their children’s bags and started stuffing eggs into them for the kids. There were prize tickets inside of them you could exchange for gifts later. Sadly, my daughter found only 1 half of one egg that had been stepped on and cracked….of course, without a prize. I felt so guilty (and still do) for ruining her Easter….and the prizes were only things like Tootsie Rolls. Now, we have our Easter celebrations at home, and they are fun! The cats trail behind my daughter and help her find the eggs.
I hope everyone has a great Easter! Easter is my favorite holiday of them all. I love the daffodils blooming, the warm spring weather, the candy, and-of course-the meaning behind the holiday. I have so many good memories of Easter.
Sadly, as happens every year, I haven’t gotten all I wanted to get done for Easter. I didn’t decorate outside…I didn’t crochet the basket I meant to crochet…I haven’t even colored eggs with my daughter yet. I think I’ll take care of the eggs today. I have all of the supplies on hand….so why not?
Take care, everyone! Thanks for stopping into my blog. I hope to share more patterns soon!
Hope you are feeling much better soon.
Know what you mean about rather yourself sick than any child. Sounds like a typical Mom. Just be sure to take good care of yourself as she needs you.
Easter hunts — my youngest puts out over 100 plastic eggs for her 2 children with candy and small toys and such in them. Gets to be great fun especially if the elder child (17) lets his sister (9) find them with little help. Always seems to take a day or so to find them all.
