It's that time of year again! It's that time when even those die-hard fans of winter start dreaming about warmer days ahead. I've always enjoyed the spring the most out of any of the seasons. There is just something about making in through the cold winter months and seeing those first few buds bloom on the trees that gives a deep sense of appreciation for the cycles of life. I've never believed in making resolutions on the new year. It's still cold and dark in January that the only thing I want to do is stay inside and eat more chocolate. Spring always seems a time of renewed hope and fresh start. It's a time to clean out the closets and try new things. I have been trying to use some more color in some of my designs. After working so much in the sepia tones, I think just as I am craving the sight of the first crocuses, I am needing to add more color in my creative endeavors. My favorite new piece is the necklace on the far left with the purple fairy. I wear it with some of my neutral toned clothes and, just like the first flowers of spring, it adds just the right surprise of color. I know that everyone is complaining about the first day of spring being so cold, but I know that warmer days are ahead. It's still enough for me to know that within the next month will come days when I can shed jackets and replace my boots with sandals. Even though Phil lied, keep being patient. Spring is coming!
