You'd think I staged it but I didn't. It just happened and only occurred to me today how apt for the fourth project in the Happiness is.... club, to be named Springtime. Birds are singing, bulbs are blooming and the weeds are flourishing a sure sign spring is just around the corner.
The pattern and a kit are available from my online store.
Springtime $16 plus P&H
Springtime Kit $58 plus P&H

I'm not sure where to start. There's a lot to blog about, Happiness is.... club, the Christmas Joy workshop and the new patterns released this week.
This year I've done things differently and instead of designing all Christmas style projects for the Christmas workshops, chose to make one to use all year round (everyday).
When I have an idea the tricky thing can be deciding how to make it - will it be stitched or appliqued and if it's appliqued will I use fabric or felt.
As you can see I chose to do both!
And I didn't stop there, making a quick version of the bag.
This bag is shorter than the appliqued/stitched zipper bag. It can be made in a couple of hours. To date everyone I've shown has been very excited and thrilled it is so easy.......
Looks great in pretty fabrics too!
The Little Birdie pattern is $16 plus postage and is availabe from my online store.
It wouldn't be Christmas without a felt project.
A mat to pop on the table at Christmas time. It's small - 9 inches.
Gillian finished hers at the Christmas Joy workshop last weekend.
It's wonderful to see the finished project!
The Holiday Fun pattern is $10 plus postage and is availabe from my online store.
I will be doing kits for both patterns.

The sunshine has been calling to me all day, urging me to stop work and go outside and play. Now I am in two minds, do I hope for a dull & grey weekend, so I have no excuse but to cut out the corner blocks and piece the top together, or do I wish for sunshine?
There are kits to prepare for the Christmas Joy workshop next weekend too.
Why is it, when it's raining it seems like I have no inside jobs, well the ones I want to do, but when the sun's shining..........
Have a fabulous weekend.
