a glimpse of spring

It's almost here, guys! In just a couple more weeks we can officially welcome Spring. This past weekend, we took a quick (and by quick I mean less than 24 hours) trip to our old stomping grounds in Athens to watch a UGA basketball game. And guess what we saw?

Gorgeous blooms! Just a sure sign that Spring is on the way. In the next 39 days, I'm hoping to finish up 3, maybe even 4 knitting projects, two of which have yet to be started. Can I do it?

phew!

Thanks to all who volunteered to test knit! Through twitter, ravelry and my blog, I've gotten tons of offers from generous knitters who all offered to help me out - in just the past 12 hours! I only need a few this time, but I'll contact every single one of you to get your email address for future pattern test knitting if I don't need you this time.

Thank you again!

These gorgeous flowers are blooming in a tree behind our house - couldn't help but take a picture! Reminds me of fireworks exploding in the sky - just gorgeous!

And, yes, I did discover another bird's nest, but it doesn't live at my house - or even in my state for that matter - so there's no chance of me getting attached to the babies and getting bird mites! The coolest thing about this little nest? It was built in a flower pot! So small I barely noticed it!

but, seriously, how cute?

Happy Monday!

Happy Easter!

I hope you are all enjoying a wonderfully relaxing Easter - spending time with family and celebrating however you choose.

First off, the winner of a copy of The Natural Knitter is....

#14, Catherine! I'll be touch for your address, Catherine! Congrats! I really enjoyed the book giveaway - it was fun! I'll be doing April's giveaway sometime in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!

Today, Jake and I walked around the Georgia Botanical Gardens, and it was so nice to finally see that Spring is here! The bees were buzzing happily, the flowers were blooming beautifully, and birds were chirping in wonderful harmony.

Did you do anything fun for Easter? Have a great rest of your Sunday!
