Randomness Abound

It's Sunday night

and I am achy but happy

I just drove Samantha home

she really does fill my heart right up to overflowing

and it hurts me when she is sad or hurting

it must be what motherhood feels like

she is having some issues with her father

and I am her buffer ~ her safe haven

and I am glad that I can be here for her

and be the fun aunt!

we were creating first

I bought all the supplies to make these cute little necklaces before Christmas

but the time got away from us both

and we got to do them today

I am in no way a jeweller

so I am just saying that these were easy peasy

and cute to boot!

the link to the instructions are here

then I showed her what I was working on yesterday

I found it on Pinterest and thought it would look good framed

so Sammie made her list and is going to work on hers tonight

we had our dinner on Friday so the rest of the weekend was 

free and clear for us

yesterday I ran errands 

and started the makings for these rolls

I tried them last month for the cooking challenge

and I had used the wrong yeast so my dough did not rise

I am pleased to say that is rose just fine this time around

and they are delicious!  

they are time consuming but worth it

I think that I will be having one with a cup of tea soon....

today along with the fun

and finding a crocus in the side garden

we also did some priming

when the drywall guy was here last week

he asked us to put a coat of

oil based primer on the walls

so the plaster would stick to it when he comes this week

so with all the up and down with the roller

my knees are screaming at me tonight!

so that is done and dare I say

I could be painting the walls next weekend

woohoo!!

I picked some samples up yesterday

and was leaning towards a safe colour

but I think my brave side has won

as Barleycorn Flour is the chosen one

I wish this shot showed the truer colour

but it is very pretty

it was a gorgeous weekend here

and our snow has gone down a ton

we noticed buds on the forsythia

and I know it will not be long now

as it was great to sit out on the deck in the sunshine today

I hope that everyone had the most wonderful Easter!
