Spring is Early Here in Missouri & Spring Card

   Good morning Thursday,

      March here in SW Missouri is feeling more and more like April every day now.

Rains every other day-so things are getting ahead of me already. I checked yesterday and for sure I need to cut grass as soon as things dry out again. sigh not ready for that yet.

I wanted to share a beautiful spring card I received in the mail from Viola in Germany. This was her first handmade card and it is really lovely. Fabrics and stitches Thank you so much Viola-I love it!


  Below is a close up


Happy (early) Spring

    1. sorry illness is still hanging around for you and your family. I haven't felt all that great either for several months now-stress is a factor too I think. good you are getting rain now before your summer heat really gets going. mid 80's is a bit much already-hugs

  2. That is so sweet! Just as you! Your Spring-mail arrived, thank you soooo much and pop in tomorrow, if you like! You gave me another great smile - so helpful, as, oh, boy, jetlag still has it´s grip on me! And really Spring really started - hugs to you and the lake!

  3. Happy Spring!
    The card is lovely.
    Checking the NWS preditions for the next 3 months, Vermont area temperatures will be above normal. Spring will bloom here on time.

  4. What a wonderful handmade card. We are having rain and thunderstorms today. Tundra keeps letting us know when the thunder is approaching with his barking. He hates it. Happy Spring. Janice

  7. It's nice to see the card with you now. I'm so happy.
    And thank you for the inspiration to make cards, it was a lot of fun and I made two more.
    We have sunshine today and 12 degrees Celsius - 53 degrees Fahrenheit.
    I wish you sunshine, dear Kathy. A hug from Viola

  9. Hello Kathy from a first-time commenter who has seen your comments on bloggers we both read😀 Viola’s card is lovely as there is nothing like a card received in the mail, especially a handmade one! I just read some older posts and learned how much you enjoy getting snail-mail which sadly is much less done and something I enjoy as well and would be happy to do with you. Please feel free to contact me by my email blog address. I hope that your husband is doing better and that you are feeling less stressed.

  10. Oh my, that card is incredible! We get a couple of cards a year for various reasons, but I do not think we have ever received a handmade card.

    1. Hi Debra, so glad you dropped by. we had super strong winds today and cold, so no working outdoors today. Larry is able to use his walker now but still has not been able to get out of the house since early October do to our steep steps-that will be a challenge for sure.
      Happy new week

  13. That is a nice card for sure. We had 4 days of summer like weather. I got a lot done in the garden and now we are in 18 days of rain. Spring on the Oregon coast is tiring. Have a nice day today.
