ReplyDeleteEverything about spring is amazing....a rebirth, a new beginning, the days are longer, the gardens start to look greener....it's a beautiful time of year!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Spring is watching the birds gather materials for building their nests. Every year we manage to have a robin nest near our back door. Such fun to watch the baby birds grow. Thank you for the chance to win the beautiful house. I love cross stitch but just can't seem to manage to do it - I feel like my eyes are crossed and all of my fingers turn into thumbs!
ReplyDeleteI love walking through my yard and brushing aside leaves in my flower beds and see green poking up. Knowing that in a week or so my beds with be bursting with color and life.

ReplyDeleteOh, and when you feel like whistling, even with a shoe full of mud. ~ Mary W.
I love when my wisteria bursts alive in spring! It’s so beautiful and gets better every year. I really look forward to the purple flowers it produces!
ReplyDeleteI get excited about Spring when I smell the grass cut for the first time and in early May when the family of Eastern Screech owls bring down their new little family to take a bath and drink from the birdbath near our kitchen window...this will be their
ReplyDelete5th year if they show up this time!
Well I'll put my name in the pot. I always check your blog but never comment. I don't do cross stitch anymore and very little embroidery and no punching so don't feel qualified to comment. But I do love the look of all these handcrafts and would love to have the project model.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about spring is the fact that almost without exception for a month or 6 weeks you can go out every day and find a new little plant's nose poking up out of the dirt. Such excitement! It never fails to raise my spirits.
Victoria Witte
When the tulips emerge where I forgot I planted them - always a surprise!
ReplyDeleteLori, I read your blog every day and love to see your creations. I've done a few of your cross stitch patterns and love them all. My hope is to get to Virginia and your cute shop some day! I would be honored to own one of your pieces.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of spring is opening the windows and hanging the laundry on the line. Later in spring, I grab the binoculars and look for the warblers that pass through Wisconsin.

ReplyDeleteAnn Madges
Lori I love Tulip Cottage. My favorite part of Spring is it regenerates all my senses. Makes me feel so alive, my 2nd favorite season, followed by Autumn:)Thank you for a chance to win this sweetie from you.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, as I grow older, the winters seem to grow longer. and here in New York's Hudson Valley, when spring finally arrives, it is like a blessing. My husband and I mark our calendar each year when we see the first robin, and, again when we hear the frogs start to sing. One year, when we were driving home in the rain, the road was suddenly full of little tiny frogs hopping across to the wetlands on the other side like they were going to a party. Happy Spring (soon), Happy Easter, and Happy Passover!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of spring is the beautiful foals born in the farm. I go without a lot of sleep but their long legs and first steps make it all worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of Spring is being out in the fresh air , hearing the birds sing & playing in the dirt ! I love your pretty Tulip House !!!! Hope your farm faired well thru the big storm , here in New England the winds were scary !

My favorite part of spring is warmer weather and no snow.
ReplyDeleteI live in southern Arizona, so we don't get much spring or fall. Either it's hot or not. But with our "spring" I love the wildflowers that grow before the heat takes over.
ReplyDeleteLiving in Idaho, Spring means being able to smell the soil in the fields as we drive to town, seeing calves playing in the pastures, and the Springtime flowers sprouting...a truly glorious time of year!
ReplyDeleteOkay, how could I possibly miss out on this fabulous spring-y giveaway?! It would be oh so lovely to have one of your own handmades to hang on my studio wall!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of spring is the first consistent days of those tell-tale warmer breezes that waft through one's home when the windows are first opened to welcome spring in.
Hugs for now from still brrrrr New Hampshire...
My favorite part is the sun shining. Full days of warmth on me as I begin to tidy my garden and clean my porch. I also love to get out all my "yard art" that was packed away for winter. Rusty pot stickers for my flower pots, garden stakes and ceramic pieces that are fun and whimsical, and hanging a few more small musical chimes in the trees along with the bird houses.
ReplyDeleteBring on Spring!!!
I love to hear the sweet spring song of the birds returning back after a long winter. And I also love opening the windows and letting the fresh air back inside after a long winter!

ReplyDeleteSpring is time to plant the garden with all kinds of lettuces, carrots, beets, pumpkins, potatoes, tomatoes, and more!
ReplyDeleteSeeing my crocus peeking through the ground and being amazed how strong they are. They showed up in mid February peeking through the soil and snow only to be covered again by a heavy snow fall. Last week they bloomed for the first time this year. A day later, there was 6" of snow on top of them. The snow is gone again and they are blooming in purple and yellow. Not bad for Canada.
