It must be something in the air because I’m so much more restless for the arrival of spring than I think I’ve ever been! In fact, I’ve been a bit impatient overall this year! Some of my friends were teasing me recently because I was counting down the days to when I could move on from Valentine decor and jump into something new! Not that I don’t fully enjoy each holiday…but for some reason I’ve had this itch for change! Which may also explain my seemingly countless list of home projects I hope to complete! So for whatever the real reason for my impatience–the weird winter weather, life changes, thinking ahead for blog posts, or simply a bad case of spring fever–I’m trying to sit back and enjoy the moment rather than unintentionally wishing the days away! I’m still happy that spring IS marching forward however, giving me permission to go ahead and dream about bringing the fresh, new season into my home! But I’ve made this promise to myself to slow down and soak in the happiness that each project really does bring to me! I heard a quote on the radio yesterday that really made me reflect…”the happiest people don’t have the best of everything…but they make the best of everything they have!” I love that! And while this quote doesn’t necessarily pertain to my impatience…it does give pause for thought. Making the best of everything means not just finding contentment in the possessions I have or don’t have, what nature has given me or not given, or the tally of all my successes or failures…it also pertains to seeing the relevance and joy of each moment, season, or holiday and enjoying every second it’s here! So today I’ll share my first spring craft…in plenty of time to enjoy the earliest signs of the new season and all the simple pleasures it brings! Have a peek at this tiny craft which is big on happiness!
