lingering winter blues

Alas, Lady Winter is still with us.  Yesterday the wind whipped through tossing everything in its path hither and yon and this morning there was an inch of snow to greet us.  Even though I know that Spring will soon arrive I still find myself wanting to pack up and move to the northwest where trees are already in bud and bloom.

Yesterday was such a gloomy day that no matter what I tried I was unable to work at all.  Maybe it was just that I hadn’t fully recovered from the cold I had over the weekend.  Whatever it was (or is) it’s still lingering.  The housework and animal chores are done but I simply cannot get my mind engaged in any creative work.  If only the sun would shine for a few days!

In the meantime there are so many beautiful blogs to be visited! I’m so impressed by all these talented and generous women who if not for cybertech I would never have had the good fortune to “meet”. Sometimes I feel quite a bit intimidated by all this talent and vow I won’t visit all my favorite spots for a few days.  But in the end I almost always make the rounds. Turkey Feathers has some ever so lovely bags! Ullabenulla is brimming with inspiration plus I love the wonderful masthead.  Alicia at Posy Gets Cozy is a must read. Gorgeous words and photos! And do look at the adorable bunnies at Sewing Stars.     Does anyone know what to do about an art addiction?

Right now I'm in love with these images by Lauren Mumford at alice*lands .  The combination of textures and feeling of age speak to me insome haunting way.  I think Lauren may suspect this but I've already been looking for the perfect place to display them!  Aren't they great?!!

Plus, many congratulations to LoobyLu for winning a Bloggie!  And Angry Chicken for the much deserved but should have won nomination!  [Make is cool but it's not  on the same level.]  Just take a look at today's very very lovable bunny at Angry Chicken!!!

Another beautiful artwork Lulu...you are a pretty amazing talent yourself!
Lauren creates magic doesn't she? You've named a few of my favorite blogs too..love Ulla. She has one of the most generous spirits in Blogville! Vicki at Turkey Feathers brightens my day every morning...while I'm enjoying my first cup of French Roast.
Hope you are feeling better soon....it does seem like the longest winter I can ever remember. Take care.
