I wanted so badly to re-work my mantle for February -- something very Valentine's Day-ish. It takes so much effort to figure something out -- usually 15-20+ tries and tinkerings. I'm glad I don't have to do this everyday! I'm happy with the pink effect.
I let Rachel bake something this afternoon to add variety into the children's day. She chose a lemon swiss roll -- why not? Unfortunately, our pan goes cockeyed in the heat and I forgot that. Thus we ended up with a triangle shape to roll up. The children enjoyed themselves nonetheless.
Rach even had to make the lemon filling:
The four children sat down together for a tea party:
It did get a little wild, but at least they were having fun.
In my spare time I'm putting as much effort as possible into sewing a collection of spring purses.
It's been lots of fun, and I hope they will be ready to show (and sell) soon! I love all the flowers!
Well, church has had to be cancelled for tomorrow as Michael will not be well enough to preach. Some of the children are still contagious, so I think we'll just stay put and listen to a service online, as I did when I was ill. Monday will be a new week, a new day, and maybe a fresh, clean start. :)

Hope you'll all be feeling better soon. Your pink mantlepiece looks very spring like. Its turned cold here and snow is forecast tonight so at the moment spring seems a bit distant.
