I've come to realize that Easter is my favorite holiday. It's a time when winter is finally starting to shake us loose, spring is around in the corner and everything is coming back to life.My sanity, however, tends toward the route of a 'day late and a dollar short.' Eric's mother was hosting Easter this year and was expecting eighteen people. Since I enjoy baking (and showing off), I volunteered to make dessert. I had originally planned for the ribbon jello and the angel lush cake, but with so many people, I had to step up my game.
So, I spent two nights burning up in my kitchen creating the following six desserts: sugar cookies with strawberry icing, cherry icebox cookies, apple buttermilk pie, angel lush cake, run raisin pie, and ribbon jello (in pretty Easter colors).
Everything was delicious and I have the extra poundage to prove it.
As if all this cooking wasn't enough, I decided that I wanted a new blouse for the occasion. Since leisure shopping time is limited, I made my own blouse. I see the guys in white coats walking up the driveway now. I was surprised how well it turned out. My sewing skills are intermediate at best. I did do some power shopping and found a nice skirt to go with it.
It is two weeks post Easter and I still don't feel rested. Perhaps, it's time for a vacation.

Those desserts look delicious and then as if to emphasize the fact that you're a domestic goddess you sew your own blouse. I envy your culinary and creative skills.That's a really sweet picture of you and Vicki.
