Memorandum Monday spring is sprung

A big spring wave to you all.  On a lovely Sunday walk I was pleased to see so many signs of spring growth (and a picturesque remnant of last year) and I've noticed that the geese and swan couples on the river are staking out their nesting spaces.  Definitely feels like spring



During the week I finished the two crafting projects that I shared last Monday


a collection of flowers made with my 3D pen (it extrudes plastic that sets fast) - I just need to decide how to display them

and my crochet dragon



I'm very pleased with how the variegated yarn worked for this project.

I also made something for the first time with the tiny 1.5mm hook that Santa gave me - and 4ply cotton yarn.  I was inspired by this decorative piece as I browsed through my new magazine and made it that afternoon


that is a button in the centre - good bit of stash bashing.

Wishing you all a good week - plenty more crochet projects jostling for my attention and the weather forecast promises dry weather so I should be able to find more signs of spring.

Your dragon is adorable, nothing fierce about her at all. The 3D flowers could be a nest setting for your dragon ...

Happy crafting week ahead.

That dragon IS adorable!! And I'm happy to see your signs of spring. One of the biggest winter storms this year is headed our way, but we're hoping to evade it on our way south. If we do, it will be by hours, not days!

You have been busy. I love your signs of Spring. As for that dragon, he really is a fine chap.

You have been very creative, the dragon is very good with the variegated yarn, I haven't heard of a 3-D pen, I am impressed with what you have made. I didn't comment much but I enjoyed seeing your photos from your trip to NZ.
