St Patrick's Day

Heather and Ed had their St Patrick's Day party yesterday, and it was fabulous!
St Patrick himself put in an appearance, complete with snake!


Everyone dressed in their green finery!
Even Honey got in on the action! It was a lovely party, about 30 people, lots of food! 
Earlier in March, Jules turned 12! I can't believe it! It was kind of bittersweet, since she doesn't have her birthday buddy great-grandmom with us anymore.

We get new pix of Mocha frequently. Dan and Steph are quite smitten with her!
Goofy Sly- this craft holding footstool has been in the living room for over a year now. I moved it to in front of the chair, and he's right on it.

Manda went green! And Amary is just adorable!
Manda made the hoodie! She's so talented with her sewing!

Cheeseburger macaroni in the instant pot! It was really good!

I'm taking the house back, one room at a time. I'm so sick of clutter, and it's been worse since Mom died and I had half her house here, then renovating and everything in different rooms. Now, the kitchen is situated, the living room is decluttered, the dining room is almost done. As I'm putting things back into the bedroom, I'm taking a hard look at everything. We've taken several car loads to St Vincent dePaul, and will probably take several more. Calm and peaceful is my goal. 

I'm crocheting a sky afghan, as per Crochet Crowd. I haven't been able to sew, as I can't get near the sewing machine yet. I'm working on the family room, then the laundry room, guest room, and the sewing room will be last. I'm keeping my eye on the prize!

It's a beautiful day, the sky is blue, and the wind has dropped.
