Okay, so the facts are that there is still snow on the ground and right now I have a sweater wrapped around my shoulders like a grandma.

But, SPRING is starting to creep in…if only in my mind.

So instead of being depressed about the cold weather, I thought I would start thinking about Spring projects.

Last year, some of the favorite things I did at spring…

My Spring Mantel – it was a total break from my usual style with so much pink and I loved it and it brought some fun brightness to the room.

And as part of it, I tried my first hand at embroidery and brought in a little bit of Amour. It is far from perfect, but I really enjoyed pulling it together.

And as they say “necessity is the mother of all invention” – when I couldn’t figure out how to pull together my wreath a little nicer, I figured out how to create flowers from vintage hankies.

And it is definitely not too early to start planning a Fairy Garden!

And I am off to work on a whole bunch of new spring projects.

Now if you want, you can also read all about summer projects here.

Including some Easter Tablescapes starting on March 10th and along with some really fantastic ladies.
