Finding the Humor

Some would say AppleJack and I have a warped sense of humor--they might be right.  We have found  humor serves us well.  Yes, there are times when things seem bleak and we have searched for something, anything to lighten the situation.


I was searching for something the other day and came across this piece.  Isn't she cute?  I did not have any of the called for fibers or linens so I just went searching in my scrap bag and coloring book fiber box and found what I thought would work.  For a little more humor:  all of the fibers I choose are food related:  Apricot Blush (jam), Chamomile (tea), Black Licorice (candy) and Fragrant cloves (spice).  Judging from the size of Miss Witch Hazels hips, she like myself has been visiting the Easter candy jar while staying at home.  


I'm hoping when fall comes, Corona will be a distant memory and I can chuckle at my choice of colors as I make an extra lap around the track, while walking off my safer-at-home Easter candy.
