March 1st--Spring is Here

Isn't it nice when March comes in like a lamb rather than a lion?  With the colder than normal winter it is nice to have spring drift in.

It's time to get out the green decorations for a while.  Maybe it will encourage Mother Nature to do the same.  This is my March fridge art and here's a closer look at the "rain" where I inserted a few clear beads just for the look.

Have you ever had a difficult time parting with something you've made?  That's me.  The next swap I am sewing for has a St. Patrick's Day theme.  At first it was to be a candlemat but the host changed it to say any small item--candlemat, mug rug, tea towel, etc.  Not wanting to use a patterned fabric, I jumped into my green bin and found four greens to use in this cute and free candlemat pattern on Connecting Threads webstie under freebies.
