Happy Easter

He is risen indeed!

Amazing Date Night

We had the most fun date night ever last night! Fountain Hills had an outdoor movie night at the lake - and they were showing Kung Fu Panda! I have been wanting to see that movie since it came out and I can't think of a better venue. It was a beautiful clear evening, perfect for movie watching under the stars. We took a blanket, our picnic dinner (chicken, mashed potatoes, tomato-feta-basil salad, pineapple), and some homemade caramel corn (recipe here) and had ourselves a great time. The movie was fun, the food tasty, and the company unbeatable. It was a little more chilly than I thought it would be, but overall a superfun evening! Oh, and it was FREE - even better :0)

Like a moth to a flame

In order to finish my Easter eggs, I had to swing by Joann's last night to pick up some more batting. Well, I of course had to walk past rows and rows of beautiful fabric to get to the batting. I tried to be strong but it's tough to do after working for twelve hours. Ten minutes, one coupon, and a few bucks later I was on my way home with some fabulous spring fabric. I absolutely love the texture of the fabric on the left and the print of the one in the middle. I see a fresh, springy apron in my near future. I'll definitely share the results of my efforts with all of you, my faithful readers. (I love you both!)

Mission Accomplished

I'm sure you've all be checking our blog regularly - hanging on the edge of your seat to see how my Easter project turned out. Well, I've finially finished - wahoo for following through! It was fun to use up some scraps from various projects but I confess I did not execute this pattern very well. Some of my eggs looked more like beach balls and my slip stiching could definitely use some improving. Neither here nor there, I decided that these little guys will only sit out for a few weeks a year and once I put them in the Easter tree you wouldn't be able to see the imperfections anyway. It was fun to do and our house is now more festive. Yay!

Gorgeous Weekend!

Yesterday was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The sun was shining and it was the perfect temperature - high 70's, low 80's. We had plans to play frisbee golf with some of Casey's friends from school and we seriously could not have ordered better weather. We headed down to south Scottsdale to an awesome park that had two of my favorite, yet rarely seen in AZ, natural elements - water and grass! There was a full 18-hole frisbee golf course and we hit all of them (we think - the layout was a bit confusing). We haven't played in quite a while but got back into the groove pretty quickly. We had a blast and really made the most of a beautiful spring day! Oh, and I should mention that my disc only made it into the lake once. Casey was sweet enough to fish it out for me - I don't know if he would have done it a second time - good thing I didn't have to press my luck!
