Happy February

Happy february dear readers.......we have begun the month with sunshine, hearts and flowers.....

.........this is my heartstrings quilt in the original red white and blue colour way......and here too is my valentine cushion......

..........appliqued and quilted.......

........the flowers this week are mainly tulips and pink primroses.....i recently planted some little primrose plants in latte cups and they are thriving on a sunny kitchen window sill (see last picture for a window sill close up)......

.....such cheery little flowers i do enjoy seeing them each day.......

......we've also seen our first snowdrops outdoors this week and even a few daffodils in bud........

.........the valentine cushion pattern is new in my etsy shop link in sidebar.....

......you can also find a pattern for the love note shown below too......

.....this week we had an outing to ruthin, in north wales and here are a couple of picture of this lovely little old town, surrounded by hills.......we went to the ruthin craft centre to see several very interesting exhibitions (if you're interested you can follow the link to see what's on....well worth visiting)......

.....later we had a wander through the old streets and came upon a tiny wool shop which was like a brambly hedge drawing inside.....shelves stacked up to the top with knitted items and yarn, baskets and boxes filled with colourful wool, and knitted scarves and hats hanging up....i *might* have bought some sock yarn :)

......love visiting old places like this, so full of history and beautiful interesting buildings......and below is a close up of the primroses on my window sill this week........

 ......thank you for dropping by to see me here lovely readers and a special thank you to everyone who leaves me a kind comment.........wishing you a happy month ahead with flowers and sunshine and plenty of crafty inspirations.......take care lovelies........peace and love....back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
