Around these parts of the Midwest currently, the snow has melted for the moment and the grass is brown and it's cold. It's kinda gray and we are missing our snowman and sledding.

And although I LOVE snow (I seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE snow!) and I'm anxious for more yet this Winter...my mind is starting to drift towards Spring. How about you?

So...let's think SPRING together!

Over on my Facebook page I asked for everyone to share some of what they had been crafting up for the holidays and it was really fun to see what some of you were stitching away. I thought it might be fun to do the same thing here on the blog.

{Here's my Spring time challenge: Set a spring scene.}

Fun little tea party scene. Your living room with a new throw and pillows. Your little one dolled up in a new outfit for her and her doll. Something colorful, fun, bright and SPRING like! Use your own creations, use a pattern...you decide. But just make it something that shouts SPRING! Really, the sky is the limit. Just something that when we look at it makes you go, "Ahh, how sweet!" and makes you smile because it's just so darn, well, bright and cheery!

Then, once you have your fun bright spring creation all set up - take a photo and email it to me. I'll post them all on my blog and let all of you vote on your favorites. The winner will receive a $50 shop credit for Two Peas in a Pod Homegrown Designs.

Deadline to enter is January 24th and I'll post all of the entries up on January 26th. I'll leave it up for one week for voting. Sound like a fun challenge? I hope so! Can't wait to see what you come up with! You all are awesome!

(And to help you out with a little inspiration - use the coupon code "springfling" in my etsy shop and receive 25% off any of my sewing patterns now through January 15th. Funky, ruffly, button covered, applique pillows, quilts, bag, dresses, aprons, flower banners...lots of fun things for Spring - just to get you ready for Easter and all!)

Oh look! A cute little button you can grab if you're playing along! (I'll fix the url to the post with all of your entries later...I'll post a new code so you can adjust.) But for now, try this:

Have fun!
