The Blush List - Spring Bouquet

Knitting // The delicate cables in this Quince & Co. sock pattern look a little intimidating but I would love to give it a try! 
Crochet // A beautiful piece of vintage crochet work done around the edges of ric rac. 
Handmade // This dreamy flower garland is made of hand-painted paper petals. 
Style // Bri's dream job style posts are absolutely stunning! I especially love her beautiful florist inspired look
Art // Each letter in this delicate floral alphabet was created by hand and photographed by Anne Lee
Food // Even though I  have had my eye on several different recipes, I have yet to make a puffed pancake. After seeing this honey cloud pancake recipe from Things We Make I don't think I can wait much longer!


I wish I had a garden or the ability to keep flowers alive for longer than a weekend. My tulips from Friday are already drooping a little bit. Hopefully the color will stay bright through the first few days of next week. Now that spring is here, I can't stop snapping photos of pretty blooms when I am out and about. I really want to visit the Dallas Arboretum again this season. I'm sure their tulips will put my sad bunch to shame. ;)

I hope you had a great weekend! I am thankful for the time to rest and work on new projects. I think I will go out for a nice walk before getting ready for the new week. A lot of exciting things are happening around here and I can't wait to share soon!

Also, I announced the Fringe Supply Co. giveaway winner here! Thank you so much for entering!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

  1. You should definitely give the intricate sock pattern a try. I recently did a complicated overlay crochet pattern for the first time. It was both challenging and fun. I really learned a lot.

  3. A real floral treat - as and ex-florist I adore this curation! I would be soooo proud I I could make a pair of socks like that, unfortunately I have chickened out before I even look at the pattern!

  5. Those socks look time consuming. But once you get a rhythm, the knitting goes by quite quickly! Have you made socks before?

    1. I made a pair of slipper socks awhile ago with two strands of yarn held together. The socks are really thick so it was a really quick knit! I will definitely give this pair a try soon.

  6. If your tulips are drooping, prick a pin through the stem just underneath the head. Gently does it and they will jump back up straight!

  8. Puffy pancakes (and omelettes!) are amazing. When I was little my mom used to make them for me, and I thought they were called puppy pancakes and puppy omelettes.

  9. Oh dang those flower letters are so lovely. I wish there was a computer font out of those. I need to start pressing flowers at home!

  10. a good tip for keeping flowers happy for longer is to put them in a mixture of water and 7-up/sprite/other clear sugar-infused soda. it's basically liquid flower food!
