Wow! This is my first post of 2023! Since I started this blog in 2012, never before have I had such a lapse in posts! It is very sad to think I haven’t been using my creative side in quite some time!
The good news is that I have been busy organizing myself in finances, work, and wellness and making great progress!
I’m happy to say, I do now, have a couple projects in the works!
One is a coffee table and the second is the transformation of a coat closet into a pantry. (More on these projects as they develop!)
Normally, at this time of year, I would already be working on Easter eggs…coming up with a theme and painting them appropriately. This year, in a kind of personal protest against grocery prices, I decided not to paint eggs. I don’t normally buy eggs, except at Easter time, and I decided I am not going to purchase them to paint this year.
For the purposes of this post, I am including photos of one of my favorite past Easter egg themes – topiary. (Cactus, picnic, and constellation were also some of my most favorite themes).
I enjoy having some of the topiary eggs out in a bowl – I don’t think skipping a year of painting eggs will bother me! I did put out a little bit of Easter/Spring décor – have you? Remember to bring in some cut branches (magnolia, forsythia, etc.) – it’s the perfect time to force blooming!
I’m counting down the days when the clocks will change because I really dislike leaving for work in the dark and coming home from work in the dark!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
