The Blizzard of 2011

For the past two days the weather has been intense. We've had over 20 inches of snow in our area, and bitterly cold temperatures today. I hope that everyone made it through this weather safely with everyone, and everything, in tact.

8am February 2, 2011

As a result of the weather, local schools and businesses have been closed for the past two days, but tomorrow it's back to business. I'll be happily working on Spring 2011 designs!

Friday Reflection

"All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason."-Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Here's to trusting your instinct!

A Good Saturday Morning

When Spring Does Arrive, I'll Be Ready!

I did some early Spring Cleaning today and quickly cleaned out three cabinets in our kitchen, wiped down the walls, and swept in hard to reach places. And, it is truly unbelievable how de-cluttering such a small space opens up room for an abundance of good energy!

Tomorrow will be another day of de-cluttering, one small area at a time, so I don't become overwhelmed. As further inspiration to continue, I am donating usable household items to The National Children's Cancer Society who then sells the items to raise funds to help children battling cancer and their families. You can learn more about their pick up service at www.donationpickupservice.net

When Spring does arrive, I'll be ready!

Thinking Spring!

I'm thinking Spring!! Despite the cold 21* degree weather, which is briskly ushering in a new sprinkle of snow, I just came in from an afternoon of scouting new supplies for my upcoming Pre-Spring/Spring designs! Stay tuned!
