Hi welcome on this special Leap Day ! My desk is trying to be full of optimism at the approach of spring today !
I have finished the March pages in my Book of Days ready for the 1st of March - I always think of yellow as the first colour of spring - with daffodils, gorse & forsythia boldly breaking through the grey lingerings of winter !
So yellow is my March colour !
On Saturday I sneaked off to Carmarthen to the new "The Range" store there - and had a good browse about their craft department - mainly Docrafts stuff but it had the bits & bobs I wanted for making my Easter cards (don't know why I like to make my own Easter cards when I don't do Christmas cards but I always enjoy it !!).
I got lured in by the new Michael Powell stamps - I've admired his quirky Mediterranean inspired designs on cross stitch kits at the shows before - but not being a cross stitcher hadn't had an opportunity to do anything with them. The stamps are lovely though- very fine detail - and I had fun experimenting with different types of watercolour to paint them on Sunday (which I had to myself as the much beloved had gone to footie with friends !).
In between some much needed clearing up & cutting back in the garden & the normal basket of ironing which sits there staring accusingly at me all weekend until I attack it on a Sunday afternoon - I did get to sit in my sunny conservatory & have a few happy painty & inky hours !
Hope you have a few happy crafty hours too this week !
The yellow's looking good for March. Thanks for the nosey at your workspace (Hazel, WOYWW #5) x

I love Carmarthen! Dangerous to know there is a Range there now though... Looks like you picked up a few lovely Spring like things.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you picked for spring. Yes, yellow is right up there. Pale green makes me think spring too. As far as what spring colors I get to see in my part of the world-bright yellows and soon oranges mixed in, and lots of purple delicate flowers. They are starting to show. Almost spring-almost allergy season.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful colours you have used for your March pages, they are perfect for Spring and so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great WOYWW and a fab week, Luv Karen xx
Great desk - loving the bright yellow! Sarah at 1 having a late WOYWW peek on Friday!

ReplyDeleteYellow is a great choice for spring.
