Hope you're all having a nice weekend. We had a light falling of snow overnight (brrr!) but thankfully the sun has got his hat on and it's already melting away.
I like the challenge this week over at Less is More - it's something different - "Doodling"
I've made a patchwork card ...
First I measured out and drew the boxes in pencil, then I went over them with a fine pen to create faux blanket stitch. I then stamped the small patchwork style stamps using Stampin Up Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade markers. (The stamps were given to me by a kind lady who was having a 'clear out' so I don't know the make of them).
Thanks for coming to visit and keep cozy!
Take Care

Hi Suze
the patchwork style is superb!
and so nice stamps :-)
@snowing
in German language we have a figure of speech "April, der macht was er will" => April is doing what he wants to do => and this is crazy,
I now there is no correct figure of speech in English language but I found a quote, which describes the meanings perfect:
"April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain." T. S. Eliot"
Perfect in its simplicity.
Isn't it so cold?!!!
