Kevat talossa / Spring in the house

Vihdoinkin. Kevat on saapunut kunnolla taloon. :) Uudet poytaliinat on ommeltu ja silitelty. Pari pupuakin on kivunnut jo takan manttellin paalle paasiaista odottamaan. Talviset kynttilalyhdyt on myos pistetty pois ja tilalla tuotu kevaista keltaista. Eilen kavelin pikkuisen kanssa kauppaan ostaakseni tulppaaneja mutta ne oli kaikki niin aukinaisia etten raaskinut. Olisivat olleet parissa paivassa kukkineita. Yritan tanaan ja huomenna uudestaan, joskos heilla olisi uudet kukat. Viela vihrea maalattu sinkkiampari odottaa ruukkukukkaa suojiinsa. En ole vain oikein paattanyt etta mita haluaisin.
Kadetkin ovat olleen kovin levottomat. Tekisi mieli tehda jotain. Mutta kun en oikein keksi mita. Pari talvista juttua olisi mielessa mutta en uskalla niita aloittaa kun en tieda tuon pikkuruisen kasvutahdista.... minka kokoista sita tekisi. Eika kevainen ilma myoskaan houkuta talvisia vaatekappaleita neulomaan. Tekemattomien asioiden lista (sisaltaa vain ei-kasityoaiheisia asioita :( ) on myos aika pitka. Se kummittelee takaraivossa, seka konkreettisena listana kalenterissa. Eika nuo rastityot houkuta pariinsa ollenkaan. HUOKAISU! Paljon mielummin istuisin puikot tai koukku kadessa kiikkustuolissa ja kadet saisi kayda.

Finally. Spring has arrived in our house. :) The new table cloths and table runners have been sewn and ironed. Couple of bunnies have already climbed on the mantle above the fireplace to wait for Easter. The wintery lanterns have been put away and yellow springy has been brought to replace them. I also walked to the store yesterday with the little one with a mission of getting some tulips. But they were all so open already that I just couldn't. They would have been done with blooming in a day or two. I'll try again today and tomorrow, if they would have gotten new ones. A painted, green zink bucket is waiting a pot flower to live inside it. I just have not decided what I would want.
My hands have been very restless. I'd like to do something. But I don't know what. Few wintery things are in my mind but I'm hesitating to start them as I don't know how much the little one will grow during the summer... the size is my problem. Don't want to make these too big either. And the spring weather does not inspire me to make wintery clothing. My TO DO- list (which does not include a single craft item :( ) is rather long. It's haunting me at the back of my head as well as in a visible list in my calendar. The items on the list are not at all things I'd like to do at the moment. SIGH! I'd much rather sit in my glider, knitting or crocheting away.
