Another Spring blog!!

I think we have a right to be excited about the fact that spring is approaching. The mornings getting lighter, the weather getting warmer, spring flowers growing  (especially Daffodils)....




To celebrate the coming of spring I have designed a new brooch. I wanted to make Daffs last spring but I always have a very long to do list and very little time to do it in.




I am so please with the way these have turned out and have been getting some nice comments when I have worn mine. I am selling them for £5 including postage and I will be donating £1 from each one sold this month to Macmillan Cancer Support .




Also I have been meaning to write about the oil burner that I bought from Lauren Ceramics on Folksy. I bought it for Dan for Valentines day and he really likes it, it has been used loads already. Lauren even sent some cinnamon oil with it which is lush but does make crave cakes and biscuits.



Whats next? I am finally writing up some of my knitting and crochet designs into patterns. As I am new to this I will be looking for some one to check my patterns. I will do a seperate blog for this soon but if you are interested please leave me a comment.

Your daffs look really sweet. They bring good memories as they were one of my Dads favourite flowers.

Also thanks for being my first 'follower'.

hi Bonita, i love your daffodil brooches!
i would be interested in pattern testing for you, i'm fairly new to writing up patterns too, but it's invaluable to have someone else check them over. if you haven't already you could join ravelry. there are pattern testing groups on there, one especially is for people who are happy to test patterns for free. there are also groups for budding designers where you can throw out questions and get great feedback.
i hope this is helpful to you... :)

Yankee Wax Melts, they are delicious scented candle wax type things you put in the top of a oil burner instead of oil (as long as the top is wide enough)
I have lots here, if you email me your address I'll send you one of mine to try!! xx
