A lovely Spring day for St David's

It's a beautiful Spring day out there, no biting Northerly winds, perfect for a bit of clearing up in the garden, but i have to go to work soon, typical! For the first time in ages no little 'February's Gold' Daffodil to give to my D for St David's day, but I did get a meter weeded & took some pics of crocus & snowdrops.
My eleventh lot of 6 squares, that's 2 months worth now, & no misses in February! This line includes the print I took from the diamond plate I made inspired by both Julie's workshop with Ruth Isset & Beryl Taylor (sorry, haven't learnt how to do links yet!)

A feel of Spring in the air - I've just hung out my first laundry of the year (!) Good to open the windows a bit without the risk of losing the contents of the room across the Sound! I feel for the people still under a white coat, but spring will come!

To justify reading blogs I try & make a (personal) workshop out of something I see or from someone's generous tutorial. (I've gotta say with all these copyright things on some blogs I'm terrified to let anything see the light of day!) I've seen lots of stitching over bits & pieces of threads & fabric covering it & burning/soldering back but I usually just succeed in making a black smelly hole, despite reading over the million books I have on the subject. I'll keep trying! (a good place to stick some gold paint!) I also saw someone use veg bags, sorry, forgotten who but they were lovely, but she made me get up & use one of the thousand bags I've kept. Blog people share so much but a big part is inspiring us to go & use the stuff we've lovingly collected & do the thing we want to do - it gives us more permission to be what we want to be. Well, it works for me anyway!
