Janice, cookie baking with Grandma. Life doesn't get any better than that. That's on my 'to do' list with Ivy... when I am in Memphis a while.
MJP, you are such a great host! The town scavenger hunt is an amazing idea.
I'm sad, sad, sad because I apparently broke my Juki sewing machine (not the long arm). I dropped the feed dogs to do some fmq on a small wall hanging, and then they wouldn't come back up! This happened once before and the problem resolved itself after running the machine for a while. This time it isn't. I have torn the machine open and cleaned everything. Hubby blew all the lint out with his air compressor. I found the screws that adjust feed dog height and position back to front. Have adjusted both of them and the feed dogs are in a perfect starting position and move like they are supposed do when the machine is running. Yet still the needle stays in the same place and the fabric doesn't really advance. I've tried everything, including prayer! Hope I can get my dealer on the phone Monday and get some advice how to fix this. He's in AZ and I'm in MS. Wish me luck!

SBG, sorry to hear about the feed dog problem. if you dont get the help you need from your dealer, you might be able to get assistance from jukijunkies.com. They also have a fb page. I hope its something that is easily fixable.

I feel so bad for you, SBG! You have my complete sympathy! 😢
Libster, I love the Easter flower! I have some tulips that are blooming but my daffodils haven't come up this year. We have had crazy weather this spring, with overnight freezes regularly, so that might explain it.
Here are all four Easter dresses! I made the three sailor dresses and the forth one was made by my mother-in-law.

NZQ, beautiful dresses! The girls will be darling in them!
Not much in the way of flowers around here that the deer haven’t gotten to but my Lenten Roses are inside the fence and still lovely but small. Here’s my floral contribution. These were just transplanted from a pot I brought from GA. I hope they do well here.

Ooh, pretty lenten roses, Janice! They do very well here in the lower part of the state...I have a friend who has white ones.
NZQuilter, I love the dresses. That little pink one is so precious with the scalloped border. Your girls will really shine tomorrow.

NZ I love your dresses, the girls are going to be darling in them
Libster I have 5 assorted Holiday cactuses. None are in bloom right now and they aren’t very happy with me for stuffing them in a box for the 2 day drive home. They are my babies and sure hope they will be ok.
Sewbiz you must be beside yourself with worry. Hopefully you can find a repair shop in Ms. if your dealer says it has to be brought into the shop.
Happy Easter to all, and for those celebrating have a great family get together
