A quick color study from last week.

A-Tisket, A-Tasket - Treat Bag Pattern
Here's some springtime stitching for you: a rabbit-ish treat bag pattern. Tips, tricks and the pattern, after the jump.
The treat bag is a fun, quick project. For supplies, you'll need felt (about a 12" by 12" square), 1 skein of embroidery threat and a button. If you're unfamiliar with transferring embroidery patterns to felt, this tutorial is terrific and the method I like best.
And don't forget the chocolate!
For personal and classroom use only, please.

nd over on the Little Crooked Cottage, I'm sharing my favorite childhood book.
The Snowdrop
I finished this in January, then placed her under a stack of books to press, promptly forgetting about her existence. That is, until today, when rifling through a pile of books she popped out. And seeing that the river is racing and the mercury in the thermometer is creeping doggedly upwards, I'd say today's as appropriate a day as any to unearth a missing springtime maiden.

A detail of something I'm working on for fun at the moment.

Here's an end-of-day Dirk Gently sketch because, well, why not.
And happy Spring! It looks impossibly wintry still out of doors, but at least the calendar is at odds with the weather. We'll just politely ignore the fact that I'm wearing snow-boots and had to push some hideously slushy precipitation off my windshield this morning.
Speaking of green things, remember the fig tree? Well, it's rallied marvelously (see specimen below) -- take that, physopella fici.
