2 degrees - 35 F - today and a little sunshine
I didn't really want to dry this shirt, I wanted to take a photo for you :-)
I took advantage of the cold, wet time and read, spent a lot of time in the forest and sewed...
I would like to show two things, this little bag that became a gift and the shirt that I sewed for myself in anticipation of the warm season.
There is usually no wind at the shed, which is where the photo was taken.
It was fun to sew the shirt and celebrate the anticipation of summer with this bright yellow :-)
Enjoy...

Kjære Viola,
AntwortenLöschenDu er så utrolig flink til å sy, og din nye gule bluse er veldig fin. Dine tulipaner er så vakre. Jeg håper at det snart blir varmere ute.
Jeg ønsker deg en fin ny uke!

That is a very bright and happy shirt. I hope the weather warms up so you can wear it.

AntwortenLöschenGood evening Viola. Your post was lovely! Loved seeing your sewing projects and beautiful flowers- we have had a lot of windy days here too-coming week will warm up again Enjoy Spring
AntwortenLöschenhugs Kathy
It looks like a clothes drying kinda day there, Viola. Fabulous photos. Sweet little bag from pretty Tula fabrics and the blouse you sewed is lovely. A walk in the woods sounds divine, and of course, the tulips are a dream. Enjoy your springtime, lovely Viola.
AntwortenLöschenI love "seeing" the wind by how your shirt is blowing. That's an excellent idea. And it might be chilly but you have some beautiful spring flowers and leaves too.
AntwortenLöschenLas flores están hermosas y es bueno ver el sol. Te mando un beso.
AntwortenLöschenI also find that tulips are lasting quite a while with cool and damp weather. Your new yellow top is so cute and perfect for summer 💛
AntwortenLöschenHappy spring!
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful tulips and I like what you made, well done.
AntwortenLöschenI agree-- beautiful tulips! And a nice Marilyn smile.
AntwortenLöschenTwo lovely makes Viola and beautiful photographs. xx
AntwortenLöschenHej Viola!
AntwortenLöschenJag blir sugen på att sy då jag ser dina fina skapelser. Tyvärr blir det mest att lappa jeans. Så långt våren har kommit, vi har inget grönt i träden ännu.
Ha det bra /Hälsningar Marika
Ja, her blåste det veldig! Vi har også hatt mye vind i Oslo/Norge.
AntwortenLöschenDet er fint vær nå, men kaldt. De tulipanene var fine. Det er litt tidlig her hos oss. Og så mye fint du lager. Du er kjempeflink!
Takk for flotte bilder. Hilsen Tove/fargeneforteller
Pretty bag for someone. I'm sure they loved your gift. Your t-shirt is so beautifully bright and cheerful and will be perfect for sunnier days to come. I loved seeing all your tulips. Lots of colour.
AntwortenLöschenAs always, Viola, you have been busy and your creative talent is on display for us once again. You really seem like a person that enjoys life in all its moments, every day. I wish you lived here! Hugs from Ontario - David
AntwortenLöschenSeeing the shirt you made blowing in the wind, took me back to my childhood days when my Mom hung the clothes out on the clothesline to dry in the wind! I enjoy seeing your crafts and also your cheerful colourful photos of what spring looks like where you live!
AntwortenLöschenHej Viola,
AntwortenLöschenDat is een prachtig shirt en tasje.
En mooie lentefoto's.
Het zonnetje komt hier net achter de wolken vandaan.
Fijne week, lieve groet Willy
Fun photo of the lovely shirt you made blowing in the wind.
AntwortenLöschenSweet little bag you made for your friend.
Have a nice week.
AntwortenLöschenYou live in a beautiful area. I really like your shirt and the bag. Marilyn adds a great touch!
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful blog
AntwortenLöschenPlease read my post
AntwortenLöschenIt is VERY cold and windy here, brrrr! I love your yellow shirt, gorgeous! Thanks for sharing the lovely photos. Have a great day, hugs!
AntwortenLöschenIt’s also cold here and windy. Your sewing for the summer is very nice and bright. The garden is also very nice at the moment but too cold to sit outside.
AntwortenLöschenI wish you a nice week!
It has been cold here in Belgium too, but still a bit warmer than the 2°C you're experiencing! At least you were able to spend your time indoors wisely by sewing that gorgeous bag and shirt!
AntwortenLöschenWhat a wonderful variety of tulips! Your photos do look positively springlike, even if the temperature was not ...
Wishing you a nice - and hopefully warmer - week ahead! xxx
Muy bonitas fotos, mucha actividad eso es maravilloso, muchas gracias por los consejos siempre bien venidos pues el tema floral tengo mucho que trabajar y aprender.
AntwortenLöschenFeliz semana.
Saludos Cordiales.
Hello Viola,
AntwortenLöschenWonderful pictures, It's cold for the time of the year.
But good to see you have made great pictures of the nature and flowers. The tulips and blossom are so beautiful.
And nice to see that bag you have made.
special that kind of woodpecker.
Many greetings,
Marco
I do like your bag and that top is a wonderful colour.
AntwortenLöschenMany thanks for the beautiful flowers and wonderful greenery in the photographs you've shared here.
Wishing you happy days ahead.
All the best Jan

I love the color of that shirt, so bright and cheery. The woods look fresh too as if they have awakened from a nap and are ready to jump into Spring.
AntwortenLöschenYou are so talented and take wonderful pictures! thank You for visiting my blog. Hope you are having a nice day!
AntwortenLöschen...Viola, after numerous attempts I could get into your blog! Your spring looks fabulous, enjoy every day.
AntwortenLöschenNice shirt :-) and I have enjoyed your walk!
AntwortenLöschenHallo Viola, das ist eine tolle Bluse geworden und das kleine Detail gefällt mir ausnehmend gut. Ich habe gehört, dass der Winter nach Deutschland zurückgekehrt ist; ich hoffe, deine Tulpen sind jetzt nicht mit Schnee bedeckt. Die kleine Tasche mit der Eule ist auch ganz süß. Leider habe ich null Talent für`s Nähen. Meine Tochter hat auch immer alles Mögliche genäht, inklusive ihre Halloween Kostüme. Ich wünsche dir eine gute Woche! - Carola
AntwortenLöschenIt is all looking very beautiful, and I love the yellow top - I always think yellow is a happy colour
AntwortenLöschenHugz
Lovely day
AntwortenLöschenThat little bag is so pretty, Viola. And I just love your new shirt. The color is terrific. It's full of spring, like those wonderful flowers you shared!
AntwortenLöschenHello! Your pictures are lovely. I love the little bag and the shirt.
AntwortenLöschenDas gelbe Shirt ist so schön genäht und ich hoffe, dass Du es bald tragen kannst. Die Tasche ist ein ganz besonders schöner Hingucker mit der Eule, so perfekt genäht. Der April ist noch viel zu kalt und wir brauchen die Wärme für unsere Pflanzen. Durch den Spätfrost vor ein paar Tagen sind einige Hortensienblüten erfroren, das ist so schade. Die Tulpen sind wohl hart im Nehmen, sie blühen so wunderbar und die gefranste rote Tulpe ist mein Favorit.
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Viola, ich wünsche Dir einen wunderbaren Abend und schicke liebe Grüße mit.
Herzlich Traudi.💗 aus dem Drosselgarten.
Hei. >Så fin bluse du har sydd, og det bildet bak på ryggen , var prikken over i-en. Her hos meg er det kaldt med kun 4-5 varmegrader og litt sol. Vi lengter etter varme nå og håper på det skjer snart. Vakre tulipaner. Ha en fin uke, klem fra meg.
AntwortenLöschenThose first few pictures of the shirt blowing in the wind were hilarious! Love the blooms you have there right now.
AntwortenLöschenas i read the beginning of your post, i wondered if you have been a sewer for a long time? or if you started recently. i remember that you knit, i think? i LOVE the look of laundry hanging outside on a clothes line, and the way it smells when you bring it indoors!! your tulips are gorgeous, mine are fading!!
AntwortenLöschenWell done on the crafting and it’s looking wonderfully sunny in your corner.
AntwortenLöschenOh so many lowly craftings! The flowers is lovely - springtime is here :)
AntwortenLöschenLove from Titti
Så langt våren er kommet hos dere! Her begynner det å bli grønt. Påskeliljene blomstrer og kirsebærtrærne. Men ellers venter vi på at alle trærne skal bli grønne. Det er en deilig tid i naturen.
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Viola, da habt ihr's ja NOCH "frischer" gehabt als wir. Ich hoffe, inzwischen sind auch bei euch die Temperaturen in einen angenehmeren Bereich geklettert. Die Frühlingsimpressionen aus Natur und Garten machen jedenfalls gute Laune :-) Deine Werke sind toll - so ein hübsches Tascherl, und dein Shirt schreit "SOMMER-SONNE-YEAH!"
AntwortenLöschenAlles Liebe, Traude
