I LOVE SPRING!!

Yeah, sure, it snowed today (not where I live, but just north of me). Doesn't matter. It's SPRING!! The trees are all blooming, the flowers are blooming, the bees are buzzing (to make some honey just for me....)

Plus, I adore Daylight Saving Time. I don't know why we aren't always on Daylight Saving Time. I get home from work between 7 and 7:30. The longer it's lighter, the better! Mornings are for staying in bed and drinking tea, IMHO. =)

The Sparkly Compote of Decree was in a Springy mood on the first day of Spring as well, as it bequeathed me with this:

This is the very first Mystery that Chatelaine did! It's actually now entitled Summer Afternoon. I started it when it was a mystery, on this shocking color of linen.

Two days before, the SCOD gave me White as Snow! This was a class I took probably almost 15 years before, and I don't believe I've touched it since. In fact, I could barely bring myself to touch it this time. After a few backstitches, I put it down. Life's too short to work on a project you're not in love with.

If you, however, are interested in a sparkly pulled thread kit, or learning pulled thread, this might be the thing for you. Leave a comment and I'll send you the kit (it includes linen, Kreinik pearl braid and perle cotton). If more than one person wants it, say by Sunday afternoon, I'll do a drawing. I'm willing to ship internationally.

Edited to add: The giveaway is closed! I'll be sending the kit to Angela as soon as I get her address. Thank you for entering!
