If I keep a green bough in my heart, then the singing bird will come

The first Embossed Leaves sock is done. The heel fits really quite well, much better than the heel I usually do so I'll have to compare patterns and see what's different about it. I don't like the patterning on the underside of the toe so I'm going to try that a little differently on the second sock.  Hopefully I'll get these all set before I begin the second pair.
I also made some sock blockers yesterday. This is craft foam from the sewing store. There were two thicknesses and I bought the thicker of the two. I just traced a sock and then cut these out with a craft knife. They are a tad small so I need to pick up some more and try again adding about 1/4-inch all around the sides.
Lastly, I leave you with a little bit of spring from my garden. The flowers have been blooming since Sunday but so briefly that it took me a few days to catch them in the act.

Hooray for spring flowers! Yours are a little more advanced than mine. Isn't it great to see them?

Aren't you the crafty gal with your sock blockers?! Love them! The leaf sock is very pretty! I spotted something starting to peep through the mulch in our front yard! It will be fun to see what comes up since it's all new to us!

Love, love, love these socks. Great idea on the blockers.

Your sock is lovely!

Our crocuses (Crocusi?) have bloomed also, and the daffodils have been trying to come up since January. I tried to convince them it was too early, but they wouldn't have any of it, so now they're cold. Suckers.
