Happy Easter/Spring
Spring is definitely waking up in New England. After an incredibly difficult March, full of Nor’easters which have wreaked havoc recently.. it was so wonderful to sit outside last night in the cool air and hear the song of the Spring Peepers (frogs).
I am definitely ready for Spring and new life. The birds will soon be laying their eggs and chicks hatching – filling the air with their song as they learn to fly.
And it’s no surprise that chicks and Easter go hand in hand as well. So, a FREE pattern for you to create a doodle for either occasion.
Spring – the Happy Baby Chick or Easter – the large Plush Egg (just omit all the color changes and extras)
I hope you enjoy the pattern and have fun creating your own doodles.
