Easter Eggs For A Cause ~ Covid-19

(The year 2020)
Most children in this pandemic will be
missing Easter egg hunts with their friends.


My sister Annie
 made these Easter eggs and we strung them
in the window for kids to see, should they
pass by.

These eggs are made with felt and

decorated with embroideries, appliqués,

 buttons, pearls, flowers etc.

And this special one with a  "rainbow of hope"
and the sunshine shining above.

We hung them in the window 
above Annie's "Rainbow Of Hope"
Because of the glare in the camera, 
 it's hard to see.

We Will Be Ok

Ça Va Bien Aller

Thanks for your visit xo

Have a Blessed Easter.
Stay safe and stay healthy.

Carmen's Garden ~ Spring 2019

This blog post was made during Covid Pandemic, 2019

Sharing some beauty in these terrible times.
Looking through my photo from last Spring,

I realize I forgot to share these 

photos of my friend Carmen's Garden.

 Carmen is 97 yrs. young.

She tends to her home and
 garden by herself.

An amazing Lady.
