Spring quickpages freebie and updates

 Hello :) 

Back with another freebie after a a break of over a month to let my wrist and arm heal. It's worked a treat and is like new . No more pain and the strength is also back . Cutting down severely on my work and project load to give it a rest was definitely worth it.

But I haven't been completely lazy in that time. I just had to stop activities with repeat movements, so I concentrated on some gardening and started some cross stitching instead , which is more gentle on those joints and muscles. 

The spring flowers are blooming :) 
I love all these colourful blooms popping out of the earth in my little garden corner . 

These are the two cross stitch pictures I made so far. The larger sampler is called "Midwinter memories"  and is the first one in a set of 4 (one for each season) and the small one is called "Nature diaries" , a set of 12 , one for each month of the year. 

I have already started the next one. 

But it hasn't all been peaceful here. 
Not only did we have some cases of Covid at work, but my son also brought it home. He got it quite hard, with high fever and could barely make it down the stairs from his bedroom to the toilet. 
A few days later Beth , his girlfriend , also started feeling bad and tested positive. 
So there's me , masked up and armed with bleach bottle , carrying trays of food and drink upstairs to put it in front of their door . Yup, they had to stay upstairs and could only come down to use the toilet. 
It's a miracle I didn't get it myself being in one house with 2 Covid infected. 

So now I have two lovely weeks off work recovering from Covid stress :) 
By the time I'm back to work on April 1st I hope that people there are also healthy again and stopped spreading the virus. 

The last days I have been spring cleaning , sorting through the lighter clothing , washing my curtains , repotting more plants, walking and cycling in the sun and watching some series on TV in the evenings, while doing my cross stitching. 
I'm also trying to get some spring looks indoors. Aren't these bunnies cute ? 
They are cheap resin figures from the £/$ Store and the colour looked ugly , but a few coats of white spray paint transformed them for my table Easter decoration.  

And Spring is also the theme for the freebie today .
I have a pack of 3 Spring quickpages for you. 
Here is the download link 

Enjoy and I'll post next before I have to be back at work , most likely on the 31st of March . 
Until then 
Stay healthy and crafty 

Hugs Snowy
