Spring is here♥♥

With Spring arriving at last with drips and drabs of cold spells it is lovely to see that the promise of new beginnings are in the air! New buds are on all the plants and the Tulips who are usually dominate the garden beginning in April is only starting to get ready to show forth some lovely colours with their blooms.

Saturday was gardening day and the weeds were tended to only to read in the paper that we are going to be invaded this month by slugs / snails….ugh eh ah…last year we ‘handpicked’ ‘millions’ from the garden and the birds thought it was take-a-way day the next day. This years a whole lot of pennies will be scattered amongst the flowers to give all little ‘electric’ shocks which will bring forth a message…go back where you come from- you are unwanted!

Yesterday morning we were privileged to be woken by a Coal Tit and his friends singing to announce they are there! I was shaking a bit and he would not sit still so the photo is a bit blurry…..sorry……….but had to share

All this lovely lighter / brighter mornings have inspired me to make more hexagons than ever – It is a project I started by ‘Making Something out of Nothing which cost me Nothing’.  Soon it will be turning into a ‘quilt’ if I may call it that. Next step is to look on Utube what the next step is after they are all sewn together. What marvel this Utube is to teach you anything for free! Bless all their little nimble fingers and kindness to share their knowledge to make the world a better place♥

My Friday (19.04.13) was spent in the local hospital as my hubbie went in for a cardio version as he had an irregular heartbeat – hope it is all sorted now! One can just but be positive about things like that at our age and take each day as it comes.

Sometimes life may seem that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, but if it is not an oncoming train, rest assure – there is always SOMETHING to brighten your day. The challenge I took on to make something out of nothing and which cost nothing but time, is a challenge to all those out there who told me they cannot do / do not have the resources to create something. All you need is access to Utube (free at the libraries) ASK friends and family for old off casts pieces of material / take an old dress / shirt and Bob’s your uncle. A needle and a thread are available from most markets or the pound shop and away you GO!

All my grand children are inspired by the coming of Spring and also inspired by their mum she makes  the most beautiful cushions (patchwork) - it puts like...a little fire inside them to also create - it is in the blood!

So once again on this lovely Spring morning I challenge everyone who say they cannot craft as it is too expensive to take on the challenge and make something out of nothing!

Happy Crafting!

Luvvies
