Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Here's a little nest that I knit up for the tree today. And to all who do not celebrate Easter, celebrate Spring with the beginning of rebirth and renewal. Plants are growing and popping out of the ground. Flowers are blooming, and it's Spring! It's lambing season! Lots of yarn and wool suppliers on my FB page are posting pictures of the lambs. I love it.
My one and only tulip is blooming, and it's a beaut!
My red bud tree is blooming gloriously. My mother always called ours the Judas tree when I was growing up. Hmmm...I wonder why? I might have to Google that one. Unless, it was Mom thing.
Who knows.
So, I missed posting a few yarnbomb additions from the last week or so. Here goes...
There are a few others, but they are just added color. Soon, I'll post a picture of the whole tree.
Hope everyone has a great weekend.
Your yarn bombing is just BRILLIANT! Made my day.
ReplyDeleteThank you! That makes it worthwhile.
DeleteCute yarn bombs.
ReplyDeleteLove the flower pictures too. My daffodils are blooming but it will be a couple more weeks for tulips.
You must be more north than I.
DeleteIt is NOT just a Mom thing: Its common name derives from the belief that Judas Iscariot hanged him- self from this tree species after he betrayed Jesus.
ReplyDeleteThat tulip is gorgeous. I think I may have to add tulips to my front garden next fall. (Now that we know WHAT we have growing and blooming, it is time to make this garden OURS and not just what the George's had growing here.)
I was reading about the name. There are several theories, apparently. But Judas tree is definitely a thing!
DeleteI want to plant more bulbs in the fall too. My husband and I disagree about bulb planting. He thinks that you can put them in the ground at any time. I have always been told to wait until fall. But then again, he grew up out west in desert country, so what does he know? lol!
I love redbud trees. Okay, I will ask you this, although it may seem dumb to you. What started the yarn bombing? And is it left there till it rots/wears off. I like it...it strikes my fancy but just wonder how it got started. Are the ones you show ones you have done, or just ones you have seen?
ReplyDeleteI have seen yarnbombing in Europe and in the states. In cities and in suburbs. The picture on the header is actually at a restaurant in Southern California that I took back in December 2018. Anyway, I wanted to do something creative during self-isolation. So, I started from day one of the quarantine and put up a piece every day ever since. My plan is to keep going until the quarantine ends, and then it all comes down. Not a dumb question at all!
DeleteI have seen it, but not very much. It brightens to the day to see it...
DeleteThe little nest with the eggs is adorable and so appropriate for today. The tulip and the blossoms are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYour yarn bombing is so wonderful. It makes me smile, especially todays offerings. We have just a few flowers blooming and tonight is supposed to be 24F so I'm afraid those few flowers will be toast after that. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful Easter.
Blessings,
Betsy
Glad that I could make you smile. I hope that you have warmer weather soon.
DeleteGreat yarn bombing! I love the nest you made - so cute. You must be further South than we are (I'm near Valley Forge) - our red bud is just beginning to open.
ReplyDeleteI'm between Baltimore and D.C. in Maryland. Thanks for the comment!
DeleteI love that your yarn bombing isn't just wrapping the tree; you're adding pieces of visual interest, like the nest and the bunny and the ornament, too. It's incredibly creative!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of the term Judas Tree. Interesting to know, and I wonder that my grandmother, the Lifelong Bible Student, never mentioned it. Her one and only curse term was "Judas priest!" We still laugh when we think of it.
I will still love the redbud tree. I wrote about a certain one here.
