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.
