The wonderful time in April with birds starting to nest and the buds swells and will soon burst.
It is a lovely time of the year, even if there will be some unexpected showers.
I love this time of the year.

| A romantic feeling of April |
I began first of all to sketch a branch with flowers and leaves and then transfer it to a piece of fabric.
I think that it imagines my idea of April showers, even if we this year don´t have any flowers on the bushes yet.

| My lovely mug from Marimekko Finland |
My second idea was to make something with an umbrella.
Why not together with a bird, as I love birds.
And it became very whimsical and funny.
Don´t you think, it is so funny with the cute bird seeking shelter under the umbrella?
