Wishing for more Spring

 Hello again :) 

Three days ago was the official beginning of spring, also called Spring Equinox or Ostara. Although so far the weather has not shown many improvements. Apparently we had 3 months worth of rain in just one month. Ah well, they say " no rain , no flowers" and the flowers certainly don't seem to mind all the showers. 

These beauties are in full bloom right now. 

Meanwhile I have been on working beautiful patterns from Rico Design /Transformation. 

These cross stitch patterns are all about dried and pressed grasses and flowers. 

And to add to the detail I have added some real dried flowers to the picture. 

Love how these turned out 💓

I'm slowly working my way through the book.

More real flowers stitched onto fabric.

And this is what they all look like displayed on my wall. 

I'm not done yet.... there are more lovely patterns to do. 

But for now to different designs.

I have the second part of Spring Awakening for you.

Here is your link

Enjoy , and I'll be back with the next part soon :)

Spring Awakening

 Hello again, 

We had a week of cold temperatures and even a sprinkle of snow , which really put a hold on spring. But I hope that's over now and as it is the Spring Equinox (or Ostara) on the 20th of March I really hope the winter weather will disappear and make room for spring to really start. 

My little backyard garden is still making some more flowers pop out of the earth, despite the freezing weather that last week. It only started to improve yesterday , but by the looks of the weather forecast we will have a week of rainy and very windy weather ahead of us. 

I love these little beauties popping up everywhere :) 

The daffodils are still biding their time to open up , but they only get sun in the afternoon, standing in a shady corner. 

I completed a small floral cross stitch picture hoop and really like the colours and design. Instead of french knots I stitched lots of little blue beads onto the design. 

This time off work not only gave me the time to do my spring cleaning, but.....

....I had the time to make lots of new download parts. What do you think? By the time these are all published it might be time to get to the summer themes? 

Also, I would like to dedicate these parts of the kit to Edna , a dear fellow scrap designer , who passed away last month. We used to have so much fun in the past working and chatting together , and she loved spring and summer when she could venture out with her camera and capture nature at its best. You will be missed, RIP dear soul 💓

Anyway, it's time for the first part of Spring Awakening today. 

I start with the flowers which are already blooming here in England, at the East coast. 

Snowdrops and crocuses.

Enjoy and until next time

The last of "Cosy Winter" ....for now.... I hope!

 Hi everybody,

I hope this will be the last of winter because nature has already started to wake up and bloom. But we have sleet and snow on the weather forecast for next week. I sincerely hope it won't happen ! I'm ready for Spring and better weather. 

There are the first blossoms on some bushes. 

Snowdrops and Crocuses are out....

Even the little daffodils in my back garden are blooming. 

And the spring mood has also influenced my craft projects lately.

I made a pussy willow and daisy wreath....

...and a spring flower candle wreath. 

And Ostara/Spring Equinox is right around the corner on the 20th of March. 

Even better, I only have two shifts left to work before I'm off for two weeks. 

2 lovely weeks without having to set the alarm clock for early morning shifts.

It will be time to do some spring cleaning , plant some seeds, work on some more download parts for you and generally just do what I like. Hygge life 😀

But for now it's time for the last part of "Cosy Winter"  before we start to move on into spring parts. 

Here is your download link

For those of you who want to put all the parts of this into one folder and have a main preview ....

....here is one I made from everything in this Cosy Winter. (just click on picture to open original size, left click and save as) 

But be warned : there might be more to come next winter :) 

Plus the coming parts going into spring will also partly fit with this, as the transition  happens slowly , just like in nature itself. 

But for now....

Hugs and until next time 💓
