Easter is early this year...

So, I am skipping St Patrick's Day and making an Easter Egg Wreath...
Recognize the wreath form? It is the tubing that I posted yesterday...the white lace was patterned for a 14-inch willow wreath...which I couldn't find...so, I made one out of tubing from Lowe's!




The Easter eggs are crocheted from cotton yarn...I love the variegation in the eggs!
Now to work on a Spring and Independence Day wreaths!

To Wreath or Not to Wreath

Ah...that would be the question...or more precisely...where do you find a 14 inch willow wreath? Not at Michaels, Not at Joann's...no where...ok, I didn't look at Wal-Mart...but I have philosophical problems going there...that is a rant for another day...

So, I had to make a wreath. Actually this works better than a willow wreath..because the tube diameter is smaller and the wreath does not poke out behind the lace...


What is this you ask? You will have to wait and see...I should be able to finish it after a car ride to Salinas and the Sunday basketball game. Good thing my projects are portable...

Grubbing @ the Grub Shack

Last week was a rough week..both Jeff and I were sick...luckily it was on separate days...but, it wiped me out the rest of the week (Wed nite to Friday)!

Since we are both feeling better, we pet our plans to go watch some friends at the CYS tournament...the little kids were playing. Afterwards, we bummed around Oakridge Mall and then headed to an early dinner.

A friend told me about Grub Shack, on Santa Clara and I think Third, near SJSU. It is a tiny place, not suitable for the a ninja team...but they said they are expanding during the day.

I had the GS Special, because I couldn't chose...but, I have boys who can help me eat the food, so all is good. The garlic shrimp was good, Kahn
Au pig had a good flavor and the Mac was homemade...quite yummy.


Jeff had the Cukui Tacos..yes, that is an egg on each taco...he liked it...


Jordan had the Loco Moco. He said the hamburger patty was really good, but, he would rather have brown gravy...


Can you believe Neil ate all three of his sliders and all but a few fries? I think the kid must be having another growth spurt...he loved his Kahlua Sliders!
