White is the New Green

Outside my window this mid April morning, the ground is white again and the trees are still bare. The idea that our Kentucky back yard would have already seen daffodils come and go seems a world away. I believe that leaf beads must have been made for Minnesotan beaders. An escape after a long winter to create with something green despite mother nature.

Snow in April is very new and exciting to me, but since I know I am in the minority of people enjoying this weather, this week's hero celebrates the spring that many of you are already experiencing and a few of you are waiting for.

 Leafy fringe is a great way to whip up a quick simple pair of earrings with minimal materials.

What does your spring look like (outside your window and inside your imagination)?
