Spring Break....

This week we had Spring Break. Easter vacation as I knew it in oh so long ago. But anyway, we took this last week off to regroup and do a few things that I haven't been able to do , due to time restraints.
Wow was there so much to do and I know I only touched the surface.
But I did do some things that took all my days and left me exhausted.
I scrubbed my kitchen floors. That was so what was on the very top of my list of things that must be done.
Then I did set up my embroidery machine and stitched out two, count them two, labels for the bags that my daughter and I have been making for selling purposes. Wow did I sew, or did I just sit and watch the machine do it all. You might have guessed it right, I supervised.
But I sat in front of the machine .
Well on the other note, I got all the windows inside and out cleaned. Now I can see all the spring green and beautiful flowers that grow around here.
I was then left to the dreaded bathroom. I had a big mess last year in there. In October my husband finally buckled down and did the repairs. He had to take out and replace the toilet, cause it had a leak and it was Old. Then he had to remove the flooring and even go farther with removing the wood subfloor. It was wet and rotten. So he was able to get that taken care of, and at the same time he had to go into the walls to replace the shower fixtures so that they would not leak anymore. When he was done, I was relieved to know he can do so many things around here. He really is a Great Handy man. So with new fixtures and a new potty (porcelain seat- the queens throne), and new tile flooring and a trap door in the wall. I had to do the finishing work. Wash all the walls and then paint. Well with the time it required, I had to put off that  part for awhile. Thats where this week came in to play. Three days in the bathroom will do anyone in. But it looks all New now and I am popped, but relieved. That is glad that that is done!
The vegetables in the garden are growing in this wonderful weather we are having. Roots are digging deep and getting grounded. I have added some more tomato plants and inter placed spinach in the spare shaded areas of the bed. Potatoes are been eaten by sow bugs and I can't help them, the potatoes that is. Did I mention I added some of my seedling of bell peppers to the garden, well I did. I put them under bottles for protection. Kind of like little green houses. It has worked so far. Another great idea from my hubby.
Corn is growing like weeds and tassels are there for pollinating. Strawberries in a garden salad are a great addition.
Punkin has been visiting her daddy this week. She did get to go to the Griffith Observatory with her mom though. COOL.
Well with the remaining time I have I think I will go play around with some fabric and see if I can get some real sewing in, before this vacation is over.
Hope you have enjoyed your spring start.







 Hope you have a wonderful Easter celebration, for
