 I would love for this to become a regular thing! I have been heavily considering writing and selling patterns. I have a few hand and wrist pains that show up now and then, so patterns could alleviate my work load and also offer an income. AND with today's DIY mentality, I think patterns would be quite popular! However, I don't think it's completely fair to sell simple patterns that you yourself would be able the figure out in a heartbeat if you tried. So, I want to try to offer some easy patterns to you for free! You've already gotten my lovely daffy, now you'll have my sweet egg coasters as well! *I do have to note, I do sell some of these finished products in shop. So, if you don't have the time or are just here to ogle, pop on over to the shop and purchase what you want!* This pattern I'm sharing with you today is really easy to whip up. It's cute, and you can use a variety of colors for that fun Easter egg look!

 I don't know about you, but it's definitely feeling 'Spring-y' around here! The sun is out, the snow is melting, birds are beginning their mating songs, and critters are waking up from winter slumbers. My husband and I often contemplate our favorite time of the year. His is fall; with the yummy goods from harvest, warm colors, and brisk air who's to complain? Not I. However, I wouldn't say it's my favorite time of the year. Mine has to be spring. I may be a little biased, being a May baby and all, but hey so is my husband! No, it's not just the joy and memories of spring birthday celebrations that make me love spring. It's all the magic that happens during this time. If you've read The Secret Garden, you'd understand the illustration of spring as a season with immense magic. In reality, it's probably the new life appearing in spring that gives the feeling of magic. So much more energy flowing around. So, in homage to another Spring I have made up a few daffodils. Or daffydowndillies as they're called in Burnett's book. I'm not sure what I will do with them, yet. Maybe spring ornaments or I may make a garland. Attach them to a stem and place them in a vase or pin to a hat. Many possibilities with these cute Daffodils!
