Spring is Coming!

Oh, you have no idea how excited I am that Spring is just around the corner! Well, maybe you do if you are in one of those areas just to our south that was hammered with snow this week. Anyway, it is getting WARMER outside and it is light out longer! Hooray! And, the bestest thing of all... the clocks change again this weekend! WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!  My kids get messed up when they change in the fall, so this means that they will finally, finally, FINALLY sleep in a little bit! Everyone might even be awake for supper in the evening. Amazing!

Spring also means Easter, which is very early this year. Thank you radio host who sent me into a near panic first thing this morning by announcing that we only have 23 days until Easter. I really appreciate it.  I have a lot more baskets to make! Here are some peeks at what I have done this past week:

I am LOVING the colors of the middle one!
... and here is one of the camo ones all finished.


More in progress that I am hoping to finish up today!
Besides baskets, I have dresses to design and make.  Last night I went to our new Joann's store... alone!  While it isn't a large store, they still have way more fabric than Walmart, which is the only other place close by that sells fabric. These are the downsides of living in the middle of nowhere. It took me FOREVER to find fabric that would work for all four girls, but I finally just grabbed this:


You should be very proud of me.  I was all alone in a fabric store, armed with coupons, and I only bought materials for the dresses.  Now, there are things I put on a mental wish list, but I was a good girl. :)

I am linking up with StudioJRU today!

The baskets look amazing! I love how you add a splash of color to them. So beautiful.

And the fabric is great...can't wait to see what you come up with for dresses. I'm sure they will be lovely. I'm glad you were able to shop alone too. I was at Joanns this week, needing some felt. I had two bolts of fabric in my cart just because I had those 50% off coupons...but I put them back. I was proud of me. =) I figured I need time to sew first...and I should save my money for trips!=) Have a beautiful weekend.

The baskets are beautiful, as always! That fabric is going to make some beautiful dresses!

The spring time change is the one that always throws things off kilter at our house. It's just a lot harder to get up in the morning!
