Happy Holy Week!

 I spent Palm Sunday teaching the Sunday School how to make hot cross buns, which came out more like lumpy cinnamon scones but it was fun anyway.  I hope you all have a peaceful Holy Week if you celebrate, and a festive Passover for my Jewish friends! 


My stitching since I was last here isn't too much.  My dinosaurs are all started on Tea Rex:


Braver than you Believe has more everything....



and Roxxdolph has some legs and letters:

My Storygraph for the month - I meant to read deep Lenten things but then I grabbed Agatha Raisin and that was that, haha.  I read Waco because it reminds me of my dad, the books on sugar and Cuba because my grandparents had a sugar plantation in Cuba until the Revolution. Witch of Blackbird Pond made my 6th grade heart explode and it was fun to go back.
