February-also a month focusing on memories from the past.
My childhood was in many ways very good.One thing I thought about was lovely blue flowers we sang about but I never saw them in reality but made in blue paper.Where were they?They were many kilometers from here.Made the memory in a pattern I found somewhere.

I was living near a forest I didn't love.I was afraid of the darkness and the dangerous thing I could meet there.And birds-I hated to learn about them.Crazy me.
Not until I met my DH I changed my mind.Here you find a lovely pattern with a bird.I love the free patterns she has,especially this.
