This and That

I had an old train case for many years and I used it to store craft supplies but didn't have it displayed because the colour didn't  seem to fit anywhere. ( I forgot to take a picture of mine before it got painted but this one off the internet is almost identical except it  has 2 closures and mine has just one).

My oldest daughter ( who is very good at various crafts) painted it and even lined the lid with pretty paper. My job was getting residual paint off the hinges and lock. You can see I didn't do a good job.

For now it is filled with Spring-ish bunnies.  I haven't decided just where I will put it next.

First course at supper last night was corn and cheese souffle.  It had been many years since I'd made a souffle but I found a simple recipe on-line.  ( Those ramekins sure are handy!!)

                       By the time I had them on the table they were starting to fall.

Two more Amaryllis are blooming. The one on the left is one that bloomed last year and I successfully coaxed out of dormancy  at the beginning of this year. The striped one is from a bulb I bought marked down at Walmart after Christmas. It only has the one stalk but that stalk has 5 or 6 fat buds.

You can see in the background our snowy back yard. All local schools were cancelled today. More snow is in the forecast so we're not done with winter just yet.

I hope you're all having a great week!  Thanks for coming by,
