Spring is on the Way

Volume 11 Issue 4, April 2014

 

 

What's New in April?

 

The geese are pairing up, and there are at least a dozen of them running up

and down the lane and hanging out in the pond. The ice is all gone from

the pond, but we are looking for another couple days of snow showers.

Spring is in the air! It is also all over the floor as the lane muds up and the

dog plays in the yard. I follow him with a mop!

 

It won’t be long before the birds start nesting and we have baby robins all

over the yard. In the meantime, I am waiting on the flowers to bloom. They

are blooming all over my work bench these days as I add pastel flowers to

my cane collection. We spent last month working on our counted cross

stitch site. www.x-stitch-patterns.com I did a lot of pattern redesign and

added quite a few new ones.

 

We also participated in gifting the stylist of 2 Broke Girls a bracelet to be

considered for an upcoming show. The new season of Hart of Dixie has

started, and we really hope they use our Lemon Drop necklace in an

episode. There are never any guarantees, so all we can do is hope.

Cellphone Charms: I am really enjoying getting some of my little charms out

and adding them to pretty much everything! This month is was slices of pizza

and a set of lips.

 

Bookmarks: Since I am always reading, I started creating bookmarks

for those of us who are bookworms.

 

Everything is in my Artfire studio, my Etsy shop and my

website:

www.bluemorningexpressions.com

 

Until next month,

Julie & Blu

Things to Look Forward To:

 

New Products:

 

Watches: I will be doing more watches this month.

 

Counted Cross Stitch Patterns: I also have a lot of new counted cross stitch patterns to develop for our sister site www.x-stitch-patterns.com

 

Necklaces: I have a lot of new necklaces in the works that are simple chains.

 

Pushpins: Many more pushpins coming!

She Was Born in April

 

Springing Forth

This beautiful, blooming, budding and exciting month brings new birth to the earth in the Northern Hemisphere and the darkening days of the fall in the Southern Hemisphere. April is sacred to Venus and Aphrodite if you prefer the Greek way of telling things. April used to be second before being bumped to fourth by King Numa Pompilius when he added January and February to the beginning of the Roman calendar. Filled with feasts and festivals, this month is exploding with new beginnings and good friends.

The Personality:

She is active and dynamic as one would expect from an April child. How can she not love all the attention she gets when she bursts into a room? She is dashing and daring. She is confident and social. She is a true people person who is willing to engage others and help them solve their problems. She is generous. She is loving. She is affectionate. She is brave, fearless and assertive. She has a great memory, and she makes a strong leader.

She makes a wonderful diplomat that is very persuasive. She is good with money, and she is extremely patient as long as she does not let her natural tendency towards insecurity rule her. She is still a Mars child.

The sign:

Aries and Taurus: The ram and the bull.

The Stone:

april-diamond

 

 

Like the April child, the stone also shines with brilliance. She loves her diamonds. The diamond is a fitting stone for the month of April. As the earth wakes up from a long sleep, the diamond bursts forth from deep within the earth. Every facet of the diamond shines like the new flowers sporting a coat of new spring showers. The diamond reflects inner strength and enhances relationships. Even the word diamond reflects strength as it was derived from the Greek word "adamas", which means hardest metal.

 

 

 

 

 

The Flower:

april-daisy

 

Of course, the flower must, must, must be the daisy! What other flower is offered as a peace offering, expression of love and as an accent in larger bouquets. The center of a daisy is comprised of little tiny flowers, and the flower's name is really Day's Eye. The daisy sleeps at night and opens first thing in the morning, much like the April child bursts into a room.

Of course, the April child insists on claiming the Sweet Pea, too. Maybe for her sweeter days.

 

 

 

The Color:

The color of green for growth and renewal combines with the aqua of discovery and balance make up the April child's color.

      She Was Born in March

      In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb

      There are 31 days to enjoy the traits of March. March is home to St. Patrick’s day and oh, the Ides of March. It is a rough and tumble month as winter loses its grip on the Northern Hemisphere and spring snatches the month away on the March Equinox. This month is ruled by Mars, the god of war, and it is the first month of the Roman calendar. Mars was the guardian of agriculture and father to those famous twins: Romulus and Remus. We see seasons changing, crops being readied, flowers starting to fight their way to the surface under ice and the season of change starting.

      The Personality:

      She is affectionate. She is shy and reserved. She is sensitive to others and loves peace and harmony. She is a natural leader and teacher. She can be a perfectionist, but that makes her a great philosopher. She is an artist with a love of all that is holistic. She is drawn to the medical profession, and she is very good at it. Her powers of observation and assessment give her the ability to succeed in medicine and research. She loves to travel, and she has a tendency to dream and fantasize. She is musically talented.

      She is honest with a generous spirit that can cause her great guilt. She can be moody, but she is extremely intuitive, so she may be simply observing.

      The Signs:

      Pisces and Aries: Twin fish and the Ram

      The Stone:

      March children are ruled by Neptune, god of the sea. The Aquamarine is naturally a stone colored as the ocean. This stone presents courage and friendship. It is the stone of faithfulness. Aquamarines are said to cure throat issues, and it is the stone of communication. It is believed to open awareness and ease tensions.

      While it is normally a seafoam green or blue, it can be found in a sky blue, which is the color found in most jewelry.

      "A March born shall always be
      Soothed by Aqua, gem of sea
      This mermaid's treasured stone you wear
      Will bring happiness, love, affection and care."

       

       

      The Flower:

      As the tiny plants start to unfurl under the ice and snow, bulb flowers are starting to shove their way upward. The beautiful and intricate daffodil is the flower of the March babies. In some climates, they are the first flowers that give us the first sign of spring.

       

       

       

      The Color:

      Aqua is the color of those who call March their month.
