Winter to Spring



Hello and a  Happy Spring Equinox to those of you in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes we've finally made it through all the rain to Springtime it's official Spring has Sprung 


So this afternoon I spent a little time  repinning Spring.


Unpinning all the wintery decorations from my wreath and Sprucing it up with some Spring colour


 I really should get around to knitting a cover for the other polystyrene wreath I have, but in a way I kind of love the action of removing the winter blooms and snowflakes and replacing them with Spring Flowers. 

It's so easy pinning them to the wreath, sometimes adding a pretty bead between the pin and the flowers. I think a few of the flowers may have gone astray over the winter as I'm missing a some, so I might have to make a few more primroses



But for now Spring has Sprung here at the Summerhouse and I for one am pleased about it.


We were greeted this morning with blue skies 


and I couldn't resist popping outside to take a couple of pictures 


I was so pleased to see the first leaves bursting opening on the Horse chestnut perfectly in time with the Equinox.

Now I really must start work on a Summer and Autumn version of the wreath.

  1. I love the way that you can change your wreath around and add or take away depending on the seasons and still keep it going all year round! You are a very talented creator. I hope that you have a great spring. xx

  3. The wreaths are beautiful, clever you! So nice to see that blue sky isn't it. And I love the frilly daffodil.

  4. It seems to me a very positive action to be changing the pretty little leaves and flowers over to Spring, Clare - such a wonderful time of year; new hope, life, beginnings - what's not to love about Spring! You do a lovely job with your wreaths, and that is a beautiful daffodil - enjoy the sunshine! Joy x

  5. Your wreath is gorgeous and I love that you change over the decorations rather than have a different wreath for each season.......that way you get something different each year, plus you have the enjoyment of making it over and over again....fantastic idea!!! Have a lovely weekend and happy Spring to you. Sarah xo
