I’ve embroidered a second shirt for Robert, hoping it fits him better than the knit golf shirt. It looks dressier than the polo, so I hope he likes it. The contrast between the comical ducks and the formality of the monogram is greater than I would like. But version #2 is as far as I’m going with this suit.
The monogram is from Monogram Wizard Plus. I wanted to get the ducks in there somehow, so I went to one of my favorite sites, Embroidery Library, www.emblibrary.com, and sure enough, for $1 these little ducks were mine, downloaded and embroidered within 30 minutes of finding them.
It’s late.  Bob and I have been babysitting darling Alastair while his parents went to an engagement party. He went to sleep promptly and with no fuss at 8 p.m. so he hasn’t hampered my preparations. Bob stuffed the plastic eggs while I stuffed the deviled eggs and made up the salad for tomorrow’s dinner. Â
I’ve set the table and  made a pretty basket centerpiece of yellow tulips with purple and white angelonia. A dear friend sent me some precious little chicks, beautiful feather butterflies, realistic bumble bees, lady bugs and grasshoppers. Jelly beans added even more color. I know the children will enjoy examining this basket.
As tired as I am, I can’t help but remember the late night sewing I used to do Easter Eve. I’m glad the children’s clothing was done before today and I can’t wait to see them all decked out in their Easter attire.  I certainly enjoyed tonight’s preparations. It’s a good time to think on the glory of Easter and the meaning of these symbols.
Happy Easter to all!
