In Celebration of Spring!! (Free!)

I thought I'd include a 
~FREE PATTERN~
today in Celebration of Spring!!


I love motif's, and these are begging to be made and displayed!



Add a button (how to choose?) and a pin onto the back for a pretty little (or not so little, as is the case here) brooch!





Or skip it entirely and display them in your home...




:)
After taking these pictures I got all "WooHOO it's SPRING!" (yesterday was a glorious 73*!) and started snapping pictures of my indoor plant life. It may be spring, but aside from daffodils and the occasional flowering tree, there's a lot of bare and brown out there.


Rooting a Purple-Waffle cutting. Isn't life miraculous?


My new jade plant- wish me luck!


Hello, seedlings. Welcome to the world. :) Future peppers for my plate!


*True* leaves on my kale plants!


Yeah, spring. :):)



 Oh, were you here for the crochet? Sorry, I got side tracked.

  1. Um I want one...

    I plan on learning to crochet tomorrow (actually not joking, that is an appointment on my calendar.) But it might be a while before I get good enough to make myself one of these...;)
