Spring Give Away!!

Because spring is coming, the snow is melted, because it´s my birthday on the 8th of March, and because of all those lovely comments on my "send along" pouch for the doll quilt swap 8 I´ll give away a house pouch to someone who has written a comment here on my blog!!
 Tell me what you like about spring, close out is on my birthday at noon - 8th of March!

 Yesterday I have finished the "girls, girls, girls,..." pillow! Handpainted girls, surrounded by repurposed jeans, appliqued on a soft aqua linen, freestitched words .... a coloourful, happy accessoire on your sofa!
 
 

 Ich habe etwas zu verschenken!!! Es wird Frühling, Vögel zwitschern, der Schnee ist geschmolzen, Schneeglöckchen blühen! So viele tolle Kommentare zu meinem Mäppchen, das ich zum DQS8 gemacht habe: ich habe mir gedacht: mach noch eins und schicke es an jemanden, der hier einen Kommentar schreibt...
Also: um an das Mäppchen zu kommen, schreibe mir, was dir am Frühling gefällt! Schluss ist am 8.März, meinem Geburtstag und Weltfrauentag!

  1. What a lovely giveaway Monika :) Here's something that I like about spring: the main road out of our small town always floods in the spring, which causes me to have to drive way up and around the flood--about 15 miles out of my way. On this drive I have seen so many charming, funny, and creative ways that people have of dealing with spring floods. The best thing I ever saw was a group of kids jumping on a trampoline in the middle of their flooded yard and their father waiting for them in a rowboat a few feet away. Everyone was so happy and seemed to be having so much fun, even though their yard was under about 3 feet of water. It was super.

  2. yes yes, this is sooooo cute!
    my favorite are the lilacs/flieder, then i always really know that spring is here. i know it will still be quite a while, but that's how it is. the early signs are the birds, when they start being noisy again in the mornings!
    thanks for doing the giveaway!!

  8. What a lovely giveaway! Happy Early Birthday!!

    I live in the desert so when spring comes around, it's simply beautiful. The cacti bloom, the javelina are have their little ones, and the Palo Verde trees are full of yellow flowers. And since winters are mild here, the spring come early too.

  9. This is such a sweet giveaway Monika! It is really spring here in Vancouver already and my favourite part is the smell. It is wet, muddy and fresh - the smell of new things growing and a tender sweetness in the air. Oddly enough, I also love the smell of fall, when walking on dry leaves!

  15. Monika, your work is so inspiring. The recipient of your Doll Quilt is going to be so lucky. You are lovely to give away a pouch to a reader. Spring here is still far away, we are almost heading into autumn. It is lovely with all the sunflower bloomig though.

    Happy sewing.

  17. Your little giveaway pouch is just gorgeous.

    Here in the UK, Spring is heralded by little bunches of snowdrops and crocuses pushing their way through the hard often still frozen soil, followed by buds on the trees and of course gambolling lambs!

    Happy Birthday for the 8th x

  19. Happy Birthday!

    The house pouch is adorable. Thanks for the chance to win.

    As I write this, there is 10 inches of snow on the ground with sustained winds of 30 mph and gusts of 50 mph. The forecast is for another 6-12 inches tonight/tomorrow. I can't wait for spring! I'm especially looking forward to the first signs of spring: nice bright forsythia in late March followed by the sounds of spring peepers (little frogs) singing at dusk in April. Makes me smile just to think about it.

  20. Something I love about spring is that my then-boyfriend who said he had no interest in gardening with me ("I'll help haul the dirt, but that's about it!") has in the last couple of years become more and more interested in gardening, to the point where he build several big sturdy raised beds and moved around 3 cubic yards of dirt by hand this spring. He is now currently dreaming of stir-fry with homegrown asparagus, broccoli, carrots, onions and shallots, with homegrown lettuce leaves on the side. I love how excited he's gotten about it, how he indulges me and my own veggie garden and my flowers, and how we're already planning the garden for next spring.

  21. I love that spring means winter is finally gone! We've gotten tons and tons of snow and ice this winter. I'm ready for it to be over and for warmer weather.

  22. What I love about Spring is that Winter is over, and I really don't like winter.

  23. I love your pouches!! So very sweet.

    I love the tulips and croci (crocuses??) that peek out first thing in Spring. Here in ottawa we take our tulips very seriously due to the queen of netherlands giving birth in Canada while in exile during second world war . . many many tulips shared from that country into ours. . .a nice reminder of international friendship!

  24. HI MonaW!
    It´s my first visit to your blog and I already LOVE IT! I will pass again for sure! =)
    For the "give-away" I can tell you that I always liked the Summer more, but I started to LOVE SPRING four years ago when I was Mother to my Little Guy D.*
    But my LOVE for Spring became BIGGER & BETTER last year, when my Little Star Princess T.* was born! =)
    I´m a Spring Mamma, so I guess I deserve your BEAUTIFUL & CUTE & MADE WITH LOVE Pouch, hun?! =)
    Luck & Love to all,
    *M*
