...and grass under my feet and warm vegetables off the vine and all those sensations of Spring and Summer.
I miss them.
I am ready for their return.
No more snow. Please.
I have been having a bit of Spring fun in my studio. Sitting at my sewing machine making these fun fabric scrap flowers. I'll be putting a few I've made in the Haiti by Hand shop soon. And the downloadable instructions in my shop. They're fun and easy and a great way to use up even the tiniest scraps of leftover fabrics. I'm pinning one to that poor worn out hemp bag I've been using as my purse for the past couple of years.
Maybe they'll bridge me over until their real sisters start their show.
Happy Thursday to each of you, dear friends!
These flowers are so pretty, and so creative! What a wonderful metamorphosis from scraps to beauty!

Love your pretty flowers; they remind me of dinner plate dahlias! My hyacinths and daffodils are already poking their sweet heads through the soil here in NM!

Rebecca,
You're the second person today that has really been pining for spring. I haven't gotten there quite yet, although we had a warmer day today and should have a warmer weekend. May talk to me on Sunday evening...
Enjoy yours,
Anne-Liesse
P.S. Please let us know when those flowers go in your shop. I'd love to help by purchasing one.

What a bright and beautiful idea. And a perfect way to welcome Spring.

Very pretty indeed. Can spring be far behind?

I love your brain, Rebecca! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us. These past few days of sun in Bowling Green, KY, have been a welcomed surprise, although I might need a few more snow showers to get it out of my system since this California girl is new to all of this snow this year. Keep the spring thoughts coming! We so enjoy your energy!!

Hi Rebecca ~ I purchased your directions last night and I'm so excited to start making your amazing flowers. I'm going to make them for Mother's Day gifts for the mom's in our lives (related and not). I think I'm also going to try to make a few large - large ones to hang on the wall in my office to cheer it up (and me while I'm in there). Thank you for sharing!
