Mild and rainy

That was today's weather.

I kept looking out my front door all day and this is what I saw.

My cookie jars. All have some cookies in them except the horse. He's vocal and neighs loudly when you open his mouth. The friar is a cookie jar that I bought for my mom. I didn't have cookies growing up but when I got old enough to bake myself, it's one of the things that I made. My mom and I had our favourite recipes and the friar usually held something. 

I made a couple of blocks for a new quilt that I have been wanting to make. It's a Red Boot quilt design called Scrap Bin Sheep.

I worked on the quilt that's in the frame. The row is now complete. I'm planning on getting the other end done so I can duplicate the quilting. I don't have to but I like symmetry.

I know it's spring but...

Another purchase for me. We had the family weekend dinner and I really wanted some colourful flowers. These will be planted in my garden when they are finished blooming. There was only one tulip open when I bought it but it didn't take long for the others to open up. It sort of makes up for today's weather. Sort of...
