Yes, it is now officially SPRING! (oops...or is it tomorrow? LOL) The foot of snow has melted, the week-long deluge of rain has passed, and the sun actually made an appearance. I ventured outside to get a well needed dose of vitamin D and snapped a couple of pictures of my
emerging plants. These are my
Hyacinths...
And I think this is a patch of Stella D'
Oro lilies...
Now, I realize that the Southern bloggers are probably laughing at the meager growth, but here, we'll take any signs of greenery we can get. LOL
Another sign of spring is the new lines of fabrics are hitting the shelves. Fabric.com has Amy Butler's new Midwest Modern line in already and I hope the other designers won't be too far behind.
When I saw how fantastic the colors blended with one of my
vintage 60's prints, I couldn't wait to get sewing! Here's a little
preview of a
wristlet style bag. Don't the colors just scream SPRING!
Now I just need the
temperatures to get a bit warmer and I will be a happy camper.

Have a Happy Easter!

Of course we're not laughing. Well, maybe a little. But we'll see who's laughing about July or August. September....October.....
It's always exciting to see the first growth of spring - whether it comes in February or March or April.
Lovely!! I am so excited to seeing happy, spring colors again! There aren't signs of green buds yet...can't wait!
Oh lucky you tohave signs of spring! I am in Southern Ontario Canada and we usually see spring about now BUT the forecast has called for another 6 weeks of winter-like weather!! YIKES!! Can you please blow some warm air for us up here? LOL!!
Awesome! Still waiting to see some buds here.

It was in the 70's in Tennessee this week but when we arrived home last night, we arrived home to a fresh ground of snow. Ugh!! Have a blessed Easter Sunday!
Hugs,
LeAnn :)
I love those fabrics. You have an eye for colour! Your bags are lovely too.
Oh I just love those fabrics! They would look fab in MY closet as well haha....
And do not let nature fool you... Here in the Netherlands we just had a WHITE Easter! Yep it is snowing. It was actually much nicer weather on january 1st then it is now... And I sooooooo long for spring! Do enjoy the weather for me!
Ack! I've been trying to be good and not buy so much fabric, but looking at your's I feel my resolve slipping...slipping away...
Well, it's obviously warmer there than it is here in Ontario. We still have snow on the ground and I saw the first sign of bulbs peeping through the soil a couple of days ago.
Enjoy the spring!

Lovely fabrics and yes it is nice to see Spring again.
Those are sure signs of spring! I hope it continues to warm up for you. I'm afraid we'll be in summer temperatures by the end of May with they way we're going (70's tomorrow).
