Weather wise, we've had dusty, cloudy conditions the past couple of days. Even now as I listen to the wind blowing outside, I'm not sure if it wants to rain or if there's a dust storm going on.
Since it was an indoor kind of day, I did a little crochet.
And tried a healthy carrot cake recipe from the blog Chocolate Covered Katie.
Not sure what I did wrong as it looks nothing like the one she made, although the taste is fine. I did miss the step where it says to let the wet ingredient sit for at least 10 minutes or overnight, so I think I will try again another time and see if I get different results.
I hope that wherever you are in the world, you are having a lovely day with family and friends.
Easter blessings,

Happy Easter Tammy. Your crochet is beautiful and the cake looks delicious. We have a rainy gray day here, but it's still a day of celebration.
Blessings always!

Happy Easter Tammy. Wishing I was right there next to you listening to the wind and enjoying a cup of tea.
Hugs,

Happy Easter! and I love the way you draw, Tammy! :)
Your carrot cake looks luscious, and I'm going to make a note of the recipe. What did you do to get that glazed top?
It's been a very quiet and peaceful Easter here. There was enough sun that I spent an hour knitting outside this afternoon, until my fingers got too cold to hold the needles. Then I came in and feasted on homemade soup. Now it's nearly time to go out for evening chores. A nice day :)
Happy Easter weekend to you. Hope the sun is shining and the wind has stopped blowing for you!

Happy Easter, Tammy! It's windy and blustery here in the PNW as well. We even had some hail, but the sun shines through.
Your crochet projects are beautiful and colorful. You always inspire.
Sorry about your dust. You are crocheting and cooking and those are wonderful ways to spend an indoor day. Easter Blessings Dear...
I hope you had a wonderful day. We have a ham in the oven, scalloped potatoes and a green bean casserole in there too. And a bunny shaped coconut cake for dessert.

Your first photo evokes a moment of moods, is the light in the shape of a cross? Have a blessed Easter, friend.
Happy Easter Tammy to you and your family.
The carrot cake looks yummy
Hugs and blessings

We had a cool, grey Easter. I enjoyed it. I didn't get too much crocheting accomplished. Cooking occupied most of the afternoon. The family was happy with the results so that makes it worth it. Your healthy carrot cake looks yummy. Sometimes things taste better than they look. That happens frequently in my kitchen. Happy Easter, Lisa
Happy Easter, Tammy! We did not have dust today, but did have a mostly inside day due to heavy rain showers...with little bursts of sunshine. Your watercolor painting is so cheery and thanks for the recipe link. xx
Easter blessings to you too! The cake looks scrumptious and moist. What fascinating yarn.... :)
Hi Tammy. Hope your Easter was nice. We had a wonderful weekend here. Lots of family and happy celebrations, delicious food and plenty of photos for memories. Hope your week is delightful, too. Susan
Makes no difference, whether a cake rises or not. I'm sure it was just as delicious!!!
You know, it is actually refreshing to read that your weather isn't always perfect sunshine! :-) You actually have not-perfect weather! -giggles-
Writing this, while rain pours down, in my neck of the woods. :-))))
Gentle Spring hugs,

We've been dealing with dust storms here lately too. It's my favorite time of year overall, I think, but the wind and dust are not pleasant. I hope you had a lovely Easter, Tammy. Take care and have a good week.
Happy Easter to you too Tammy! Hope you had a lovely day!
Hope your weather has cleared up by now.
I made a carrot cake for Easter too but mine was a Skinnytaste recipe with cream-cheese frosting. It was delicious and enjoyed by all, but now I'm back to my normal routine of no desserts (though I did great on vacation and didn't gain any weight despite eating things I normally don't and maintaining by doing my normal runs/walks).
Thankfully, we returned home to beautiful weather. A bit cooler than I would like, but lots of sunshine and actually temps are normal for here for this time of year (our normal is in the 60s at this time of year). I'm back to work today for the first day of the week (Tuesday) and not doing too bad, considering I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. I'm looking forward to getting back to my normal fruit diet today, with lots of water (which I couldn't do when we were traveling by car), and my normal neighborhood lunchtime run. Sometimes routine is good. ;)
Have a good week,
Linda
It looks so cozy inside with all your pretty crochet and Easter decorations! The cake does look delicious, though. Hope it was a lovely Easter for you and a happy week ahead. xx Karen
I'm a bit late here but glad you had a happy Easter indoors. The carrot cake still looks yummy and I'm sure it tasted great too. Hx
We were so lucky our Easter weather was perfect! I'm listening to the wind blow right now though. Rainy and blustery. You must have sent it our way!
