Stepping into Spring with Sargasso Spring freebie kit

 Good morning,

I hope you're all having a nice weekend. I'm currently making the most of some time off work . 

Usually at this time of year I have already started on my little garden area behind the house, but this year it's still really cold. Apparently we had the coldest winter since 1940 and it's only warming up very slowly for a few days before temperatures go down for more frosty nights . Up and down like a yoyo. 

I have started some seedlings at the kitchen window indoors, but it's still too cold to plant them outside. 

The spring flowers are blooming though.... and gives me the opportunity for some photo practice.





This is one of the pots in my garden area.

I have also been repotting some of my indoor plants ....and promptly needed some new plant pot covers. So out came the crochet hook and some yarn ....
Mr Fern also had a haircut ,but will be bushy again in a couple of months.
Running out of room? There's always a place to hang another 😁
It's so easy to crochet a new basket to hide the ugly plastic pot :) 

I also got out my watercolours and worked two pages of a new watercolour pad, 
This is for the lazy ,because the motive is printed on the page and all that needs doing is colouring in :) 
A great quick art option when I'm short of time or lack the inspiration to draw my own illustration. 
My knitted spring cardigan is over half stitched up , only need to knit the sleeves now. And I broke my New Years resolution not to buy any more new yarn :) 
When I came across a new design for a crochet jumper I just couldn't resist and had to buy the yarn to make it ! 

It's going to be a learning curve. I have never done a raglan jumper, top down, in one piece without seams before. 

Anyway, I have a new freebie for you today ....
Sorry, I don't have detailed previews for you. 
But I can tell you this kit has 21 backgrounds and 31 elements packed into 6 zips. 
And I have 2 Qps made from this kit to show.
It's not all seaside themed , by the way :) 








Papers 

Elements

And now I need another coffee ! And some breakfast. We had our time change last night and that one hour difference is messing with me :) 

So until next time .Hope you enjoy the new kit. Stay crafty 💓
Hugs Snowy

We didn't had a lot of winter and some plants already enjoy being outside. Only sometimes the nights are somewhat cold, so then I have to get them inside for the night. But window sills are great places for sowing and by end next month I'll bet you will have a lot ready for your little garden.
I also never did knit or chorchet a jumper from top to bottom, they say it is an easy way to do. I knew you couldn;t resist for too long to have some new yarn, because there is always a new project you want to do hahahha.


Have a nice time off from work, and stay safe,
Hugs
