Stop, Stop, Do not Hop on Mom

We have a HUGE easter egg hunt coming up this morning. Hundreds and hundreds of eggs. Perhaps hundreds of children too.

It's a rather fabulous neighbor tradition.

My sweetest memory of the hunt was watching Isaac head out onto the field to escort Elijah seven years ago—with teensy new Charlotte in a baby carrier on his chest. He was glowing with greed for his tiny little Charlotte—she's all mine. The three of them were a greeting card that day.

I'm in a bit of a fix. My neck has been kinked up all week, kinking up my schedule—much pain, no sleep. I'm beginning to feel better and have surrounded myself with printouts, in the throes of composing a new collection. I'm not thrilled about stopping.

Yet, the weekend is scheduled to the max. There's the egg hunt, then we have friends coming over to barbeque later on. Add to that Easter celebrations all day tomorrow.

Aah! I don't have time for so much fun. Stop the fun.

  1. It is what we Moms do. Prevail under any circumstances.
    This is why MY Mom discourages gifts at any other time of the year BUT Mother’s Day. On Mother’s Day, we 6 children, had better load her up on gifts and special treats…..or else!
    (I still fear not following thru on this at age 52!)
    Enjoy the weekend. Memories are being made. I bet your neck will be better come Monday.

  2. I sure hope you are feeling better Heather! Maybe the Easter Bunny will leave you a lavendar filled neck warmer…you just pop it in the microwave and it does wonders!

  3. Your eggs are simply gorgeous! For the past several weeks I’ve been saying, “I want to decorate Easter Eggs…” I ate a lot of eggs, but I haven’t come close to decorating any, other than pinning some ideas on Pinterest. (it’s like fake creativity)
    Happy Easter!

  4. Those are beautiful eggs!! Hope your neck unkinks and you have a Happy Easter!! I am sure your fabric collection will be beautiful… it always is!

  5. What amazing eggs! I have some plastic eggs left over from Easter. I am going to head to my craft room to see what I can create with them. 🙂
