Singing the Joys of Spring
Well I didn't get around to blogging last week due to one reason and another and sometimes that's just how it goes, but hopefully back on track this week..
Yellow is such an uplifting colour and there's so much of it about at the moment - the daffodils are now gone but the Forsythia is in full bloom although this week I've also noticed the dandelions popping up left, right and centre - not unattractive flowers but they take over the garden if left to their own devices so the weeding must begin...
There's been lots of sunshine around and mid-week we had the hottest day of the year so far. I sat in the garden with a mug of tea, appreciating it all and listening to a robin and a blackbird having a "sing off" in the trees. The robin was very high up so apologies for him being a bit blurry!
The apple and cherry blossom that's been around recently (so beautiful but blink and you miss it!) inspired me to make this cherry quartz bracelet which is now in my online shop.
Finally, I have picked up a felting project which has been a VERY long time in the making. There's a bit of a story to go with it and I hope to finish it this week-end so with a bit of luck I'll tell you more in my next post. In the meantime, here's a quick peep ....
I'm joining in with Planet Penny's Happy Friday once again - interesting to see what everyone else has been up to this week
Looking forward to seeing your felting project, I have dabbled in felting but would like to do more if I ever get the time
ReplyDeletethat's the trouble isn't it, so many things to do and not enough time to do them all!
DeleteIt's been such gorgeous weather this week hasn't it? You did well with your robin picture - much better than I would have managed. I love your bracelet and can't wait to see your felting project. Have a great, and I hope sunny, weekend. xx
ReplyDeleteyes - sunny again here. Hope you have a good week-end yourself x
DeleteHello. Your bracelet is beautiful. I love the color of the stones. I'm excited to see the felting project. Have a great day:)
ReplyDeletethank you Lilly's mum. Hope you have a great week-end x
DeleteIsn't it beautiful outdoors just now, i'm glad you've had the chance to get out and enjoy it :) I'm excited to hear more about your felting project soon! x
ReplyDeletethank you - enjoy your week-end x
DeleteYellow certainly is an uplifting colour, especially when there are deep blue skies in the background :-) The bracelet is lovely and I can't wait to see the felt project. Thank you for your sweet comment on my blog, you really helped me get through the week. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Chel - sending healing thoughts your way x
DeleteJayne, I was just thrilled to see what your robin looks like compared to mine! Yours is prettier, I think. Your bracelet is quite beautiful, and my favorite color, too. I lloved reading your description on your Etsy shop, and I think the hanging bauble adds just the perfect little touch.

Thank you Julie - its always nice to have feedback on my little creations :) I thought my robin looked a little on the chubby side - but that's not a bad thing if you're a little bird!
DeleteVery interested to see more of your felting project - I went on a workshop to try it for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it. Want to do more definitely xxx
ReplyDeleteYes - sometimes I go for long periods without felting and then when I pick it up again I really enjoy it and wonder why I've left it so long!
DeleteI love this time of year, there is so much newness around and everything looks fresh. Don't get rid of all your dandelions, you need to save some for wishes :)
ReplyDeleteI always miss some, so they'll have to be for the wishes!!
DeleteWe've been enjoying the sun here too, although it's been a little chilly. Your bracelet is really pretty and I'm looking forward to finding out more about the felt piece.
