Happy March first...19 days till Spring!

Had I not spoken to my friend Penny...I would never have known it is March first. Days bleed into each other with few hours of sleep here and there so it's all pretty much one big blur.
This morning as I reached for my creamer with my eyes burning from the light because I didn't get much sleep..SHOCKER!..to be accosted by a horrible smell in my fridge....
Looky Looky!

Donato put a Spanish onion in a flimsy sandwich bag to stink up my fridge. After 6 years of marriage and close to a decade of being together...he still does this "to keep me on my toes"..grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat eh?! ..just add cleaning the fridge to my March 1st adventure...
So I put the onion away properly and stuck that bad boy back in the fridge in hopes that he notices the way it is now packaged.

In the flimsy bag , inside a plastic container with an airtight lid!

Once the coffee kicked in I decided to celebrate this March 1st by making a new centerpiece.

Peeps to my peeps!



I filled a vase with on layer of Easter grass, then added a layer of jellybeans and peeps.

I placed the peeps in a circle, facing the outside of the vase.No need to even peel the peeps apart because you can line them up as shown.

I filled the center with more Easter grass and an egg candle on top.

While I was making this centerpiece I see this outta the corner of my eye

So cute!

Think they were toasting...
 my cake...jejejeje

Last week Donato requested a golden cake , course you know it was right after I made a cherry chip one...literally

So with an ode to spring theme in mind..here is Donato's golden cake.
I dyed the some shredded coconut to look like grass and added to chick peeps on top.

I wish Cesina didn't eat all the mini eggs...they 'd be perfect on top...note to self...time to hide secret stash of mini-egss...one for me and one for decorating with the rest going into the stash for me pile.

Happy March 1st!!!

Counting down till March 20th..the official start of Spring

Last Friday we had a snowstorm....

Today it was raining and I am pretty sure it will freeze by the end of the day. Oh why can't I look out my window and see this instead!!!

 My darling March 20th ..I can't wait for your arrival ; )

These February days have been dragging on and even though I am keeping busy with my little adventurous munchkins..

with a lil'bit of this

and a whole lotta that!

I long for those sunny days spent all day in the garden...minus the deer and horse flies chasing me....or the garden snakes that slither outta of the rocks and scare me half to death....ah yesssssss....the country life!

Guess I should have added a clause in my FB "I want snow "statuses ...only till January-February...but it is Canada...it could very well carry on till May!

Good thing I came across these fab fab fab little plastic wraps for eggs while unpacking the Easter decorations...I always buy at the end of season for the next year and boy am I ever glad I did!

Seeing as no one in my family eats hard boiled eggs and I can't decorate with them either , I decided to try this on the plastic eggs.

Just adorableeeeeeeeeeeeee!

The trick is a bowl with boiling water...it must be right outta the kettle hot.

Prep the plastic eggs by sliding the plastic wraps on,  then drop the egg into the bowl and turn it around with a fork so that all the sides of the wrap shrink fit equally.

This is my new fave thing to do!...hope the stores have some more in stock!

Easter's herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrre!

The Easter decorations have finally been set free from the bins.....Yayyyyyyyy!!!
Tweaking will occur alot between now and Easter but at least they are up.
Enjoy the tour ..hope it inspires ; )

I already tweaked the top by adding a flower garland

Now on to the mini-eggs after all this hard work...; P
