love, Hattie

remember that rocking chair I bought...

well Carter came over tonight and he gave it a try.
Let's ask him what he thinks about it...

"this chair, you want to know do I like it? hmm..."

"Yes! I love it!"

And apparently he loves it when Poppy rocks him in it too!

Ahhh, rocking with your sweet grandbaby, such a joy!

when you have a baby...

you lovingly welcome him or her into the family. Yes... your little family has grown by one, but I'm talking about the family.
Family has always been a very important part of my life, the most important part. I'm close with my brother and sisters, and we've raised our kids together, despite the age differences and the distance we live apart. Family vacations and get-togethers have always been the best times.

I'm so looking forward to introducing our newest family member, my grandson Carter, to the rest of the family...

everyone pictured here is family by blood or marriage

Easter weekend he'll meet his great grandmother Jane.
In June we have a family wedding up in Newport and a week with extended family there.
Oh the fun times ahead for you little boy!

I'm sure he's as excited as they all are, see... he's already thinking about it! Without a loving family, life would be a bit lonely, don't you think?

more Egg ideas!

Delicate lacy look dyed eggs

Lace Egg How-To
1. Cut lace into strips long enough to wrap around eggs and still have extra to form a sash for holding.

2. Wrap eggs, securing lace with rubber bands. Dye eggs according to dye package instructions. Lift out, cut off rubber bands, and unwrap lace. Let dry on foam board fitted with flathead pins.

Beautiful Eggs... by Martha, of course!

I love these eggs...

maybe it's the crisp blue and white that caught my eye, maybe the Asian floral design, whatever it is, I want to try this for Easter!
You can use any paper napkin of any color palette
to go with your decor.
To make, first blow out your eggs then follow these instructions:

Paper Napkin Decoupage Eggs

1. Trim loosely around the designs on a white napkin using small scissors. Separate printed top layer; discard lower sheets.
2. Coat part of a blown-out white egg (or a white paper tag) with Mod Podge using a small brush. Apply 1 cutout design to egg (or tag); smooth with brush. Let dry. Repeat, adding designs as desired.

3. Apply Mod Podge with a medium brush to entire egg (or tag). Let dry.

After I give it a try, I'll show you a photo of how they turn out!
