New Life, Fresh Joy

I love the signs of spring everywhere - the 'volunteer plant' primula which has randomly popped up in the back garden, the buds on the trees, the sense of new life, and hope. I love the fact that Easter happens in Springtime.
We are certainly celebrating new life in our family - my niece had a baby last week, her second little boy. I have a new great-nibling!*

A good excuse to knit a hat and bootees, and make a Spring-like card. Primrose yellow seemed an appropriate colour, the bootee pattern from my favourite Zoe Mellor book


God bless this little bundle of new life, may he bring great joy to the family, and be always surrounded by love
[*if sisters and brothers are siblings, nieces and nephews are niblings]
