Edging a table runner, Upholstering some chairs,  thank goodness  JWS came to the rescue  and  helped me finish them!  One side of a mailbox,  have the other to do yet.  Daily checks on the signs of spring.  A painting class. A little bit of sewing. A craft class at Michaels with Gracelyn.  Lots of class prepwork. Some spring owls.  Still working on this bedspread.  Kendall, three days a week!  And a nursery painted.  And that's where my weeks are going!
