Spring is here.........time for cheery towels for your kitchen!

Today, instead of needle and floss..........here is a quick and easy way 

to add cheery spring flowers to your kitchen decor! 

Gather up your fabric paints, your brushes, 

and find the towels you like at almost any

store............

grab up a few hot pads that match the color of  your towels.

You can use stencils, 

iron on transfers, 

or hand paint your own design.

Let your creativity and imagination go.  I did heat set

my towels and potholders after the paint dried to 

ensure that the design would stay permanent after laundering.

Hang them all over your kitchen.......make a bunch to give to your friends! 

Most of all enjoy creating!

Speaking of spring flowers................these lovely flowers are all over the grounds! 

Their fragrance fills the air.

These are so cheery...........my embroidery needle is wanting to create them!

Also, I have posted a pretty and delicious springtime cake on my cooking blog.

This is such a light and fluffy cake.....from a 1963 McCall's cookbook.

you can find the recipe at this link

Daffodil Cake

 I've banished Winter, saith the Spring,

Awake! arise, ye flowers!

Brisk breezes blow,

Bright sunshine glow,

And rouse the young Year's powers.

Henry James Slack (1818–1896), 

The Ministry of the Beautiful

Wishing you lovely spring weather!
