Hopping Through February

I love the carrots!

As Early Work Mercantile opens

in the midst of a bumpy start~

(we had a frustrating day of service interruptions)

I am excited...

mild days

are mixing with cold and snowy ones.

You can feel Spring 

working up from your toes

and nesting in your heart.

It certainly shows up in my sketches

and enters 

my work table.

As I created Bea Bunny~

it was with

a bigger picture 

in mind.

I love taking simple, 

humble

muslin

and bringing it to life

with dyes

and stitches.

A clever detail,

doesn't have to shout,

but rather

embrace

and melt into the piece

like a warm hug.

Time and stitches

add up to

a big love

and a thankful heart.

Not only for the ability

to work from home...

but for 

the opportunity

to build on the gifts given me.

To grow it....

As snows and cold

give way

to the rebirth

in Spring...

so does my heart

with the growing 

of 

research driven by ideas.

 Forging ahead;

growing my seeds 

made of ideas,

so they may 

bloom.
