Well, hello again! How about a contest?


Easter Bonnet Sachet
Hi Friends! I haven't posted in a while, but I thought this would be a great day to have a contest, since Spring and Easter are just around the corner.
Enchanting Easter Basket
I have been working on several projects this year; a new cape with cuffs design, a set of vintage-look mini doilies, and I have also been re-writing and testing a couple of my older pattern  sets for re-release.
Springtime Tea Cup Bouquet

I hope you have been having a good year so far!
So, on to the contest! This week, I will give one person their choice of any pdf pattern on my site, bellacrochet.com. 
I will select the winner at random, and send out the patterns in the morning (Saturday.) I will post the name of the winner here, so be sure to check back in the morning to see if you won. 

Also, if you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question: 
What is your favorite part of Springtime?



This contest is now closed. 
Please check back next Friday for my weekly contest.

    My favorite part of spring is seeing the new life after several months of snow lying on the ground. The new grass, the flowers blooming, and getting ready for the summer garden. :)

    My favorite part of Spring is the anticipation I feel knowing that flowers will soon be here and the amount of sunlight gets longer and longer.

    My favorite part of spring has to be the Robins camping out in my yard and the tiny flowers peeking out as the bright green returns to the grass... you know before the husband mows them down.

    My favorite part of Spring coming is being able to put away the heaters because the house is warming up!

    I love how the birds sing early in the morning, waking me. It is a time where I can just lay in bed, listening to them, thanking the Lord for another beautiful day He has given me.

    Flowers from the bulbs I planted pushing their way up and out and hopefully blooming! Easter, robins hopping around and getting to shut my furnace off! (That should be number one, maybe?) :-) xo P.S. I love the crocheted bird in your header.

    The first glimpse of Robin red breast, that usually means it is officially spring.

    Ooh--thanks for the chance to win! I'd love to try one of your amazing patterns!

    My favorite part of spring is that first peek of color that makes its way through the snow, and then watching the grass turn super green with all the gorgeous sunshine!

    I love the waking of the earth after a long winter's sleep under her blanket of snow. The rebirth and renewal of things 'forgotten'...breathing deeply of nature's perfume as it begins to permeate then saturate the warming air. The renewal of ME! <3 <3 <3

    Hope 'springs' eternal. New Life emergings - flowers, buds on trees smell of fresh earth - renewal of nature.

    I love seeing the transformation from the bare trees & brown grass to the budding leaves, flowers and greening up of the grass!

    I love the way Spring, starts to bring newness of life.The birds start singing, bees a buzzing, plants start to pop through the soil.Feeling the warmth on my back. Hearing the laughter of children outside playing. Most of all the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection~~~

    I would have to say the Texas winds that bring the warm air, so I can put my blankets out on the line again. March is always windy in Texas.

    Hi :-)
    Welcome back! I won on the previous contest but I can only guess that you never received my emails because I didn't receive any replies from you. Perhaps my notes landed in your spam folder?

    I was thrilled to win and asked for the pot holders pattern. I look forward to making them!
    Thanks so much,
    Iris
