Happy Spring!

I can't believe Spring is just a few days away, this year is flying by! I've been working in the garden the past few weeks pulling weeds and getting it ready for planting. I also planted two rows of peas, can't wait until they ripen - there's nothing like picking fresh peas and eating them right out of the pod! Brings back a sweet memory when I was young, we were visiting family in New Zealand and my mom took us to a farm that had a huge pea garden. We picked peas and ate and ate, not sure if we were supposed to eat them but I remember very well looking around to see if anyone was watching while we crammed handfuls of peas in our mouth! I've been having fun making felt gift bags. I made this first one using fuzzy fur with a Papertrey Ink bunny die. The grass is knotted fabric attached with a glue gun. I made this bag out of muslin and added one of my furry bunnies and some Melissa Frances fringe netting trim. Tag has a felt egg with little white pearl beads. Easter tags made with PTI bunny die using fuzzy fur and tulip die using felt. Shabby card made using PTI word die with felt. Felt bag with an owl made from fabric and felt with some handstitching. A birthday card using PTI cupcake die with felt, cardboard, acrylic paint, sheer flower and Melissa Frances trim (I love that stuff!) And one more bag using polka dot felt with PTI cupcake dies and felt. I apologize for my messy blog layout. No matter how much I separate paragraphs they are all running together and words are wraping around photos. My photos are separated when creating my post but some of them are showing up side by side. ?? It never use to do this and I haven't changed anything but the blog posting format changed in the past few months so I'm sure that has something to do with it. I can't even post photos in Explorer anymore and have to use Firefox to post photos. I've piddle around and can't figure out how to get it back the way it was, I give up! Oh well, maybe one of these days I'll get it fixed! Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a lovely day! Annette :)
