In the Nick of Time

 

I spent yesterday getting all the binding sewn down on the spring placemats so I could use them for Easter dinner. We're not hosting or going to see family but I still wanted something special on the table. 



The best thing about this set is that it can stay on the table for a long while. I'm pretty much placematted out at the moment. I do have some beachy fabric I wanted to use for a summer set but that's going to wait. 



I do love the backing material and am glad I ordered it. I've got enough leftover for some smallish projects but for now I'm packing it away. 




I didn't even touch the jelly roll that I have from the collection. It's probably just going to join my jelly roll collection. I have quite a few and I can't ever bring myself to use them because they are just so pretty as they are. 




My other holiday table decor consists of a basket of scrubby yarn. My plan was to knit a few more scrubby pads but I never got around to it.




The only really big plans I have for this weekend is to eat my way through these two bags of jelly beans. I've already gone through two others.

  3. I can't believe I didn't buy any jelly beans this year. They're Dennis's favorites and around Easter I always have a small bowl of them out. He's been doing most of the grocery shopping though, so I don't get reminded of them while I'm at the store. Oops.
    The placemats are lovely. So happy and springlike.
    Have a great day Debbbie.
    Blessings,

  5. There was no Easter excitement here either. Dave is off sugar, and I'm trying to be supportive - so no candy or chocolate.
    I was at Mom's all weekend, coming home Sunday evening - I did bring him pizza and wings... so that counts, right?
