April Shower My day

It is at last Spring time in Malmö in the south of Sweden. 

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 thought  that it was  a lovely theme to work with when I started to imagine what images  to make.

 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?
Sometimes it is good with a feather light umbrella
