Spring Morning

This is what it looks like as I look out my windows this morning. It looks so dismal, dull and depressing but if I close my eyes and listen I can hear Robins, Chickadees, a Cardinal and the neighborhood doves all talking together. These are my gentle reminders that we have to go through the "yucky" stuff to get to the good stuff.

  

Then I look at this picture of the remnants of the bouquet of Tulips from my Tea Party and I know  Spring is not to far away.
I was outside in my gardens yesterday starting to do the Spring Cleaning that is necessary. During the process of doing this I came across a caterpillar. A beautiful Black and Brown one. That seems a little early but that is okay just another reminder of the beautiful seasons ahead. I also started taking some of my wicker chairs out to set on my back step. Oh I can hardly wait.
I was so daring that I even took my bowl of Cheerios outside this morning and ate my breakfast partially out there. Still just a little too cool to do that but I am so ready for it.
The changes in the season also gets me so inspired to get sewing as well.
Here are some pictures of some Easter Tea Towels that I am making for my Etsy Site.

This set is yellow and still needs to be decorated.



These are a set of two different green ones that I have added the eyes and tails to.




These are the two towels finished and the picture below is a close up of the Easter Eggs the Bunnies are hopping over. These Tea Towels are already sold but I have more on my Etsy Site.

Is Spring Around the Corner?

It is early on a Sunday Morning and there is a feeling in the air. What is that feeling? It seems vaguely familiar. Is that Spring I hear calling on that early morning breeze? I have not seen the proverbial Robin, the usual first sign of Spring but I am hearing the Morning Doves. I love waking in the morning to their low cooing in the early morning breezes. It isn't Spring yet but it surely can't be too far behind. So to keep my early Spring desires alive and well, I went back to look at some pictures from my Garden last year. Spring is not to far away but I for one will welcome it anytime it wants to come. Come on Spring my Garden is waiting for you with Open Arms.
