Come Spring

The weather 'round here has been plain silly! Now the sun is out in full force but, the temp. has dropped and the wind has picked up, so cold. I am feeling the need for a burst of color and to sing a song of springtime. I'm inviting Spring with a few of my flickr favs. Have a colorful weekend my friends!

1. Tea and Biscuits, 2. happy hearts..., 3. Annie Necklace, 4. a touch of color..., 5. Blooms, 6. Flutter ~ Floral, 7. Imperfection is underrated., 8. Old wood spools, 9. Valentine roses

There's a kind of hush...

Storm clouds are gathering, the air is slightly electric, the light is dim...
there is a kind of hush - before the rain falls, before the lightening strikes, before the thunder claps...

These flickr favorites feel a bit like that "hush".

1. Flowers for the garden III, 2. Flags, 3. Desperately Seeking Songbird, 4. Some Favorite Notions, 5. milky, 6. A Market Basket, 7. Bloomingville 3, 8. All Eyes Are on You, 9. Untitled

The cozy is calling

I know I said I would be sharing a wee crafty tutorial with you today, well that'll teach me! I did all the work, took all the pictures, then when I was ready to put it on the blog...I stumbled upon something out there in blog town, that was just similar enough to make me wary of stepping on anyone's toes. So, I went back to the cutting board and came up with a new project but, I just couldn't get it all done in the 2 hours Miss Ringlet was at school. Add to that an achy, shivery, queasy feeling about to turn into a lurgy coming over me, and all I want to do is go back to bed on this cold gray day. So, I will have a tutorial for you come Friday, along with the winner of the wallet!

For now, I will leave you with some flickr fantastic colorful and cozy images that make me smile.
