Springtime Blossoms

Spring is finally here...how I love this time of the year, when new buds appear on the trees, blossom scents the air, and the days begin to get a little bit longer.
A little painting by me...

It's time for lovely walks in nature, picnics by the river, reading a book which captivates me in the warm sunshine, flicking through magazines for inspiration, picking armfuls of flowers and foliage to bring inside, drives in the countryside with the wind in my hair, listening to old songs blaring through the speakers, and just enjoying getting outside again.

It's time for new beginnings...time to shrug off the heaviness of winter and rejoice in the newness of spring! A time of transformation and renewal. A time to leave the cocoon and unfurl my wings.

I am ready to fly...
Unfinished butterfly...

(I actually did finish sewing this butterfly, but gave it to my sister for her birthday, and silly me forgot to take a photo - woops - but it was so fun and easy, and I thought I would share anyway)

  3. Well, here on the first day of September the temperature jumped up about 6 degrees. It's all a bit back to front! Let's hope we are going to have an Indian Summer.

  7. Love your painting and butterfly! Autumn is coming for us....I love that I get to watch Spring and Summer through your world as we go through Fall and Winter. Fall is my favorite time of year.....but Spring is a close second. I do so love the cooler weather though!

Not too long ago I remember admiring your cozy fall photos, longing for the cool weather, and now here we are in the U.S. slowing approaching those days! And you must be sooo ready for that springtime goodness! The joy of the different seasons!! Enjoy it xo natalea
