Flowers add cheer to dreary day



Well, hello! I am so glad you stopped by! Let's chat---and maybe have something tasty to nibble on. Today is turning out to be cloudy and cold here in Ohio---sometimes waiting for the Earth to wake up after months and months of snow can be so gloomy. I call March "mud month" here because it is just not very beautiful and it can be difficult to feel inspired to do anything. To give myself a little boost I pick up  tulips from the grocery store this time of year to hurry Spring along---at least inside the house! It is really not very expensive--$4 to $5 dollars-- and it is something that you can do right now to add a little flair and sunshine to your house while waiting. Now I can sit for a few moments with a cup of coffee and look for my next project to make! What do you do for a boost this time of year?

  2. I pull out my handwork, of course! Or my watercolor crayons. Or spend time with my dear friends! I have a harder time in January. At least in March you know the warmer weather is right around the corner! "In like a lion, out like a lamb!"

  5. Went to Olive Grace, very nice, thanks for the info. I could get into more trouble then I need. Just what I need, more fabric.

  6. Love this Lisa. Here in Northern California we get long stretches of cold (for us), rainy weather. It's been going on much longer than usual this winter, and our snow level in the mountains is at 156% of average for this time of the year. I keep us our little twinkling holiday lights (strung by Hubby all around the crown molding in our family room, hung by little cup hooks) until the gloomy days are past. Nothing like that warm little glow to bring a cozy feel to the house when the gloomy rainy days just WON'T end.

  8. Thank you all for your comments---I felt like I was in the very same room with dear friends looking at Jan's amazing art work and Monica's gorgeous quilt while feeling so cozy surrounded by Sharon's little twinkle lights! Ginny, I am glad you liked Olive Grace. Laura, I love being your friend too!
