Tulips and Blossom

Hello again dear readers.......here is a recently renovated bedroom in our old house......we added panelling behind the bed and i've enjoyed styling it in different ways.......
........this time with my favourite old red and white checkerboard quilt, cabbages and roses pillowcases and red tulips in a white vintage french jar........
..........and hanging on the bed post is a red and white cutter quilt heart (pattern for this and the quilt can be found in my etsy shop link in sidebar)..........
..........a week or two ago you may have noticed me mentioning that although i planted a lot of pink tulips none came up.....well, now some have :)....... 
........and even some of the *red* tulips began to look a bit pink...........
........anyhow they are a lovely riot of colour especially on a grey spring day and they have been surprisingly robust during the recent gales........
...........below is my daughter's blossoming cherry tree..........so gorgeous, and now turning from deep pink to pale pink....... 
.........some work in progress patchwork to show you now, using pale pinks and blues from atsuko matsuyama's sweet fabric collections for yuwa........
..........love these pretty fabrics so much and can't wait to use them in other projects too......
..............more pink blossom..........just a gorgeous sight and so fleeting.........
...........and a picture of the lane we walked along this week, with white blossom and new green foliage and a bright yellow gorse bush further ahead.....
..........thank you for visiting me here and for your kind words and messages.........wishing you all the joys of spring and a happy cheerful week lovelies............take care........peace and love.........back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
