St. Brigid's Day

The first of February marks the beginning of spring. 

Also, it is St. Brigid's Day. There are many different legends about her but it is said that she was very generous and that she established many convents. In Irish tradition, people make St. Brigid crosses on the 31st of January, which are supposed to bring good luck to the owners of the house and keep bad spirits out. 

I was very happy that I got to make some myself on a nice evening in front of the fire :) 

Paul's and my selection of crosses ;)
