Happy New Year everyone! We had snowfall start yesterday afternoon and continue into the evening. It is that piling up type snow that sticks to the branches. This scene is looking through to my backyard neighbors' raspberry bushes and then onto pine trees a block away. It is so clean and white and beautiful. And.....it is cold, 21 degrees this morning with a promise for colder yet tomorrow.
Here are the sedum flowers looking out my studio window.
And a front flower bed with the snow piled up each flower and branch. You can see they have plowed the street already.
And now onto some fabric tips. I remember when I took the Mary Ellen Hopkins workshop she talked about the fact that we all buy the pretty prints, the colorful prints but rarely do we buy the light colors. She was commenting that even the store owners were guilty of this so most people didn't have a full range of values in their stash. Even though I did have lights in my stash I was on the lookout for interesting light fabrics, ones with movement and excitement. Now I have 2 huge blanket boxes full and when I go through them to see if I could sell some, I am really reluctant to part with any of them.
Do you have lights in your stash?
