It’s officially the first day of spring, even though we’ve had spring-like weather for about a month now in South Texas. The trees are covered in new leaves, the oleanders are blooming, and everything is covered in a thin yellow haze of pollen. Bees and butterflies are returning to take advantage of the pollen.
Butterflies are such a great symbol of spring with their quiet beauty and their beautiful colors.
Spring is a time of renewal. Along with the bees and butterflies returning, many animals have their babies in the spring. Here are some adorable baby animals for you to crochet this spring.

March is National Craft Month, and March 14 is specifically for children – National Children’s Craft Day. Personally, I believe they put it in the middle of spring break on purpose. Every Mom knows that by day 2 of spring break, all you hear is, “Mom, I’m bored!” To help keep them busy, I’ve made a video tutorial for an Easter Chick Gift Bag.

Are you excited for St. Patrick’s Day? When I lived in New York City, I worked on 5th Avenue and 44th Street, which was the staging area for the St. Patrick’s Day parade. School bands lined up waiting for their turn. Bagpipe players tuning their instruments. Men straightening their kilts to be sure they were just right. We didn’t get much work done that day, because we were sitting on the window sills to watch the festivities. Quite a few of the staff were first generation Irish-Americans, so this was a significant day for them.
Leggy Leprechaun was made while thinking of all those St. Patrick’s Days that I spent in New York. I hope you enjoy making him.
