New Kitchen Curtains

Yes...I have been sewing up a storm here at Coastal Charm...I have finally found some fabric that I like for my kitchen curtains...got the fabric and off I went to sewing! My plans for the full length window was burlap panels with a band of the printed print at the bottom...but that didn't happen! Mr.CC went by on his way to work one day to pick up some more fabric and we found out that they were out...bad news was that they could not get anymore! I still need to make the curtain for the window that is located over the sink...maybe I will get around to that one after I finish planting all my flowers outside. I went to our local flea market on Saturday and went a little crazy buying new plants and trees...I think I will planting for a few days...it's one of my favorite hobbies!
I used my favorite rods...BAMBOO!
The bay windows were a little tricky trying to find some brackets that would work...our solution was found in the plumbing department. We bought these plastic brackets and painted them to match the wall color...not perfect, but they work!

What A Wonderful Day

What a wonderful day I had here on the coast...it all started off with our Sunday School class of three year olds...yes...Mr.CC and I teach a three year old class at our church. We have taught three and four year olds off and on for 18 years and it has been such a blessing...we looove working with little ones! Every year on Easter our children bring flowers to church so they can go put them on the CROSS that is located out in one of our courtyards...they all really like doing this and what a great way to teach them about the RESURRECTION of CHRIST!

After church we headed over to my mothers house for Easter lunch...this has been a tradition in my family that is always a great time had by all and today was no exception. The only thing missing was my SWEET daughter Mary Claire...this was my first Easter without her and that was hard, but that's life when your children grow into adults. I hope all of you had a blessed EASTER day with your families!
OUR butterfly house...this one is much smaller than the one that Mr.CC made with wood about twelve years ago...he likes to do things BIG!
