It is March, the beginning of spring–in Kansas. Today the weather man predicts we will be in the low 70’s and that next week we could see snow! Your winter clothes are too heavy and you are tired of them. Your spring clothes seem a bit premature. But there are hints of spring.
We have daffodils blooming on the south side of the house. (it isn’t unusual for me to cut them for indoor bouquets when they are in a blanket of snow!)
A personal sign for me is March birthdays. In my hazy memories, we celebrate these important birthdays in a spring like environment.
In our house, the Bunny Invasion is a sure sign of spring. I collect bunnies to hide around our home—they are not expensive but fun and will stay out until it is time to celebrate Memorial Day-Fourth of July with red, white and blue.
But the surest sign of the seasons changing? Our furry child– a handsome, stubborn, and dramatic Shibu Inu starts shedding!
This is from one session this week! He loves to be brushed and will stand still for five minutes or more if I tell him how handsome he is–and he know he will receive one of the special soft treats when we are done! I vacuum everyday –a shout out for my Dyson cord free vacuum. I keep a lint brush in the car, in the bathroom, in the kitchen—. Yep, spring is around the corner!
March 17th is another fun sign of spring–maybe some of the craziness of this holiday is due to the date straddling winter and spring. We joined in the fun with several quilted projects
#. Paper-pieced log cabin table runner, 14″ x 26″. $30
#2. Braided placemats, 15″ x 18″ 6 for $55
St. Pat’s pillowcases $15 each, reg. pillow. Irish chain table runner 14″ x 30″. $30
And we are having fun with some spring projects.
The tulip table runner is 17″ x 46″ and can be yours for $40.
The flowers might be summer flowers, but the colors are spring-like. The wall hanging was donated to us. It is hand quilted measuring 37″ x 56″ . $125
Cooking Easter dinner would be a lot more fun in this bright apron. $25
In my next post I will share some other projects just for Easter–so, dress in layers, enjoy the sunshine and the snow. It is March in Kansas!
