Friday Finish!

The robins have returned to town. Finally.

Usually I post about their return in mid March, but today was the first day I saw one in the yard and ran to get the camera. It's always a good sign that we all made it through the winter!
Another good sign...I already have finished a project his month!
I finished hand stitching the binding on the spring tablerunner in time to give it to my Mom for her birthday!


Here is the runner on her table with the potted tulips we gave her. I thought it was such a clever "springy" gift, but found that other people had exactly the same idea!
We must all be feeling a little desperate for spring to arrive!


Here is a portion of the flowers she received! Now Mom has a whole flower garden to remind her that she is loved and that spring is on the way!

Your Mom is probably loving her indoor Spring garden. But the tulips will fade, while your beautiful runner will remain to brighten the entire season. It looks very nice, Kathy!

Ahhhh,, Tulips a pretty sign of Spring. You are so thoughtful to include the spring runner to go under all the tulips. Happy day for your Mom.

The runner turned out beautifully! Did you all go to the same florist/shop? The tulips are all the same shade, makes me smile:)
