Hello friends. Is it already the end of April? I can't believe how fast the month of April has flown by! I'm looking forward to the month of May and warmer weather.
The weather is perfect for spring walks in my neighborhood. I love all of the trees and flowers budding. The only thing I don't like is that my allergies are bothering me. If I take Claritin then that helps with my watery eyes and sneezing.
I've been seeing on Instagram ads for Chico's Pull-On Jeggings. I'm so tempted to buy them, except I don't have a store nearby incase I have to return the pants.
I was so excited to make this retro granny square vest.
I was working on this vest shown above except the it was coming out too small. This pattern is from Yarnspirations and it is for a size medium. I ripped it out to make another project with this yarn.
I found this pattern to crochet a shawlette. I am hoping the shawl will come out good. I've never made a shawl before and I think this will be perfect to wear to keep me warm.
I made back in March Gnocchi with Sausage and Broccoli. This dish was a hit with my family. To make Kitty's recipe, you can find her recipe here. This time I decided to make it again but leave out the sausage and make it using broccoli rabe. This dish was delicious tasting and a hit with my family. Thank you Kitty for this easy and delicious tasting recipe.
Now that the weather is warm I like drinking iced coffee. I love ordering Iced Shaken Espresso drinks from Starbucks. A while back I shared this recipe to make your own drink at home. It's so easy to make and I hope you try it out.
Wishing you a happy Friday and weekend.

Hello friends. I'm excited to share with you my visit to this year's Macy's Flower Show. The flower show is held each year at Macy's flagship store located at 34th Street in New York City. This year the show was held from March 26th to April 10th. I was happy to visit the store on Saturday, April 1st.
This year Macy's store was decorated with clouds and floral displays in partnership with Dior.
The outside windows were displayed with gorgeous plants and flowers. I love the gorgeous purple and blue hydrangea plants.
There were colorful floral displays on the first and second floors of the store.
I love these large yellow and orange flowers that were located at the entrance to the store.
Cute floral sheep hanging in the air.
If you look up you could see more yellow and orange floral sheep.
A rainbow and cloud are displayed with white flowers.
My favorite display was the sun and yellow flowers. I had to wait my turn for this photo since everyone wanted their photo taken under the sun.
There were gorgeous floral arrangements on both sides of the escalator.
Now we are on the second floor of the store. We were surrounded by more colorful floral displays and Dior perfume and cologne.
J'adore perfume and white flowers.
Sauvage Cologne for men and purple and white flowers.
Pretty white roses on a Dior cart.
Beautiful white and purple flowers on this Dior cart.
We are now at the end of the flower show.
I enjoyed the flower show this year. I loved the theme of the clouds and the bright-colored floral displays. It was so fun to see all of the gorgeous flowers. I thought it was the perfect way to get in the mood for spring.
I can't wait to visit the flower show in the spring of 2024.
Have you ever visited the Macy's Flower Show?

Hello friends. It's been a while since I've done a Friday Favorites. I hope you all had a nice week. The weather is so nice here and it's finally warming up with a lot of sunshine.
It took me a while to find a crochet project that I was interested in making. I found this Retro Granny Square Vest pattern and I decided that this would be fun to make.
I needed to buy the yarn and that turned into a problem for me. I went to the Michaels store in my area but they did not carry the yarn I needed for this project. Micheals online did not have the yarn colors I wanted either. I had to order the yarn from Joanns in different colors than shown in the photo above.
I found the packaging unique. The yarn is shown below. All of the colors are connected in a circular form.
I started the front of the vest. I find the pattern for this vest very involved. I am happy that I found a YouTube video to watch how to make the vest.
I'm loving the signs of spring in the city.
My cherry blossom tree bloomed in my front yard.
This past weekend it was so nice to see this Magnolia tree in bloom at our church.
On my most recent trip to Costco I picked up this package of herbs. It has basil, mint, oregano, and rosemary. I can't wait to plant these herbs outside in my yard.
Our neighbor loves to bake. She made for us brownies with a macaroon topping. We enjoyed these delicious tasting brownies.
We spent Easter with a family friend. She gifted us Bacha coffee. I can't wait to make this coffee as we are all coffee lovers.
Wishing you a happy Friday and weekend.
