Yes, it's Spring in the hearts of most beaders looking for patterns, and maybe things will begin to thaw, warm up, dry out and the sun will shine again soon. With all the flower projects in this week's Top Ten Free Bead Patterns, including the favorite A New Leaf? My Foot! Daisy Chain Anklet beaded ankle bracelet pattern shown at left, it's clear that we're ready to see some flower for real, and not just in beads!

If you're looking for something a little more complex but equally Spring-inducing, try this bright and charming little Daffodil Fairy Peyote Stitch pattern designed by Elizabeth Scarborough shown on the right. She'll leave a warming spell of sunshine to help make that snow melt and that garden patch ground thaw out in a hurry!
