For all my dear friends who are still buried under an icy, snowy, wintery chill. Who can't seem to find any creative warmth no matter how hard you try (there are many of you, I've been doing a little blog visiting--and I'm right there with you).
I think what we all need is a big warm hug from the sun, don't you?

I love the color yellow! It is so alive and bright! The color symbolizes freedom and joy to explore the world once again after the cold winter season.

What a wonderfully cheerful post. I found your blog through Tara Frey's book, Blogging for Bliss, and thought I'd stop by. Glad I did, and now I feel like a crafty-type day. Thank you for my breath of spring for the day. Posting snowy posts myself:)

Beautiful post Rebecca, and very true. The doldrums take their toll on us, without our even realizing it. A little visit from the sun and warm thoughts to accompnay it and all's right with the world.

Watching snow falling (is it falling if it's sideways?!) again in Minnesota, and absolutely thrilled to see your gorgeous post this morning. Thank you, Rebecca!

Rebecca, what a wonderful post! Thank you for sharing some of your warmth & sun with us!
I just went out and picked up some tulips to remind me that spring is not so far away. In Maine we're expecting another snow on Wednesday, but this definitely brightens the day!
Thank you!

Dear Rebecca,
I am sending you this link to help with your winter doldrums. You will be interested in the post on Havana as it will remind you of Haiti somewhat. When you are snowed in, it's nice to see the rest of the world through the sketchbook artists' eyes.

Hi, Rebecca. I think I read somewhere on your blog that you were looking for a place to order embroidery thread online. Just forget it if I'm wrong. I found this site, and even though I'm sure you've heard of it, I'm going to give it to just in case you haven't.

This thread is so yummy. I hope this is helpful to you.
