There's been a slow burgeoning outside and pale blossoms are starting to bud here and there. To celebrate this exciting new growth, I cracked out the basket of embroidery yarns I was given in Norway and did a bit of free-form embroidery onto pieces of old wool fabric (remnants from coats, I believe.)

And then I made them up into these little pouches. You can never have too many botanical-patterned things around, at least, I don't think so.

Inspired by pinterest, I thought I would give this recipe a try over the weekend: slow-cooker coconut ginger, etc curry (I was given a slow cooker and still have not tried it yet- shame!) even though I would much rather be making this: red clover lemonade with honey but will have to wait for clover season.

    That top photo is beautiful I took almost the opposite of that photo today – a branch of blossom on a white piece of paper.

    I love those blooms in the Fiesta bowl! You don’t use your slow cooker? Ours is in use several times a week! I don’t think I could live without one. That curry sounds delish. xx happy weekend

    Spring is a wonderful season and it can certainly be felt waiting in the wings these last winter days. I am enjoying seeing the garden get ready to burst.

    The pink flowers look lovely against that plate. And I am stealing that slow-cooker curry recipe – it sounds fabulous!
