Welcome!

“I have seen the Lady April bringing
the daffodils,
Bringing the springing grass and the
soft warm April rain.”

-John Masefield

I found this adorable lamb and daffodil photo,
and knew what I had to post today.

Lambs

Daffodils

What could be more Springtime-y?

‘...Come and let us seek together
Springtime lore of daffodils,
Giving to the golden weather
Greeting on the sun-warm hills.’

-Lucy Maud Montgomery

What are some things that we see
and immediately think of -

Spring!
Easter!

For me, that would be
Lambs
Daffodils
and Decorated Eggs.

And Now It’s Spring
By Lhtheaker

“The grass is green across the hill,
But yellow blooms the daffodil.
It’s sunshine on a little stalk,
A friendly flower, I bet they talk...

Of little kids, too long inside
They burst outdoors to play and hide.
Tracking mud and bringing bugs.
Look, there’s footprints on the rug!...
....”


1929 magazine cover art by Jessie Wilcox Smith

 Still not your thing?

Then get out your printer, and scissors!

Isn’t she cute?
I have followed Ms. Anglund’s art since school years.

Tip:
Print the pages out. 
Trim roughly around the paper dolls.
Glue them to the opened up inside of a 
cereal cardboard box.
Then cut out!
This is especially great for base paper dolls.
Use regular printer paper for the outfits.

Here is one last daffodil for you -

Have a dilly-dally
Daffodilly kind of day!



‘Til next time,
inkspired

Truth of the day:
Usually experienced before 10am or coffee.
Do not attempt to play with the dog.
Do not attempt to throw a toy in the house.
It frustrates and startles the dog,
the loud crashing noise of vases and trinkets
will only irritate your significant other,
and then you have a sharp mess to deal with.
(Suggest you wait on clean-up until
After 10am, and or coffee.)
