I have a plan!

 I've been away, but I've been busy and am excited about some projects I have lined up. First up is this really cute quilt! When I saw it last fall I knew I had to have the pattern and when Pat over at Silver Thimble Talk started a quilt along it gave me the motivation to actually get started. I have my fabrics lined up so hope to get started this weekend!

With Easter just around the corner I got two little woolies made up and am finishing up two more stitchery pillows to add to the decor.

I love these little metal stands, they change up a display.

And since I'm feeling springy, think I'll start this wool runner--I've had  the kit a couple of years and the wools are beautiful!

I finally did something with my Meyer lemons. I zested and juiced most of them. I made two batches of yummy lemon curd and froze the rest of the juice/zest. Hopefully I'll use it faster than the blueberries that are taking up so much space in the freezer!

Because I am now so taken with the juicer I drug out of retirement, I added an extra box of citrus to my last Bountiful Basket. It included Seville oranges so I made marmalade. Didn't turn out so well--I over cooked it so it is really to thick to use. I'm not too sure I like it anyway. Seville oranges are sour and kind of bitter, so although it is authentic marmalade, and I know where I went wrong the first time, I don't think I'm going to use the rest of the oranges to try again. I like the concept of jam,  and like to buy it at farm stands, it just takes us a long time to get through a jar. Time to move on!

A few weeks ago for my birthday Sweetie surprised me with a get away to this charming little cabin

on this cute little lake

                            

near Lafayette, LA. The bed was in the loft, there was a wood burning stove in front of the sofa, and a nice breakfast.

Lafayette has an up and coming food scene and we had a great dinner at Cochon Lafayette. We'll be going back!

Guess I'd best get busy--the day's almost gone! Thanks for stopping by.
