I've been keeping busy doing some 'spring cleaning' - why wait till spring to do it when that's when I want to be outdoors. So all the kitchen, bathroom, linen, and bedroom drawers, closets, etc. have had a thorough sorting and tidying, furniture and cabinets have been polished. There is still the storage in the garage to be dealt with but it's just a bit too chilly in there just now. There is also a box of paper to be shredded but since the shredder is at the cabin it will have to wait.
These are a couple of cards I made for neighbour birthdays this month. I backed the x-stitch with interfacing then secured it to the card stock with double faced tape. The envelopes were made from a pale grey parchment. They aren't fancy but it's the thought that counts - right?!
Our weather is totally not the usual and has us confused - makes me wonder if the wildlife and birds are confused as well or do they adapt better than we do. This month has alternated between extreme cold and lots of snow. However, we are enjoying that the days are longer and the sun is warmer. Just the other day there was a flock of cedar waxwings dining at the cherry trees - what a sight that was!!

che belle Kate! Hai già fatto le pulizie di primavera, anch'io dovrei iniziare
What beautiful cards you created, Kate! Who is the designer for the one with the pot of flowers?
You have been a busy bee - lovely cards :-)
Such prettycards, aren't you clever! The weather has been crazy everywhere it seems.
I like the cards, I think they are wonderful and since they are handmade they are a gift as well as a card.
Your cards are so cute and so special. Our weather has been so strange too.
Those are wonderful cards and beautifully made.
I always clean more in the winter, good way to keep moving and feels good to have a clean house when you are stuck in it, lol.

These card are beautiful!!! Hand made gifts are the best!
Good for you for tackling your spring cleaning, Kate! I really need to clean out the closet in our hallway and keep putting it off... it seems like such a massive project to me for some reason!
Love your pretty cards--they surely brightened the recipients' birthdays :) Enjoy your day--hope spring is on its way!
You make so many pretty things! I can't wait to get back to stitching!
