sun's out

The sun showed its face today, a good day for drying. These new tea-towels will be in the shop soon -  split pea and sunspots. And a good day for stretching wings, this butterfly was an early visitor to the garden. I hope it doesn't get cold again as predicted or he is doomed! I have never seen a butterfly in the snow.

aren't flowers brilliant?

I have a temporary problem with my camera so no pictures of open studios yet. But here are some I took earlier! Spring in my garden - new buds on my quince tree all curled up ready to burst, raindrops (lots of these at the moment) and amazing velvety tulips.

This time the real thing, bravely poking it's head through our mossy lawn. Does this mean it's spring?!
