fade in and out...

i started my day in the studio just as the sun was coming up.  i spent a lot of time watching these shadows fade in and out as the clouds passed in front of the sun.

yesterday i was able to get to the grocer.  i only had a small panic attack while out.  but i made it through and got what i needed.  one thing not on the list were these tulips.  i added them to my hearth altar for imbolc and bridget.

i finally picked my tegna sweater back up and started working on it again.  i'm back to a forward motion instead of backward.  but i'm stuck again.  i'm looking for a simple pattern to use some of the yarn i've acquired from a few wool clubs from wild_inthe_woods. Sirena's instagram account is stunningly beautiful.

i'm thinking scarf and i think i've found a simple knit that i will like.  i need something to work on that is not so complicated to build up my confidence, i think. so i may try that.  if i do, i'm sure i'll share here. 

i've managed to go for a few walks over the last several days.  it's been quite cold but if i bundle up i'm alright.

well...just wanted to pop in and say hello.

imbolc...

february first...

imbolc,...

the first signs that spring is on it's way...

i don't believe i have ever uttered the following words before...

i am ready for spring.

i actually said that to someone about two weeks ago.

as a winter girl, i've always loved the cold and snow.  growing up in the south, when snow comes it is an amazing thing and i love it with all my heart. on the rare occasions that we get what i call a real snowfall (something that doesn't melt two hours after falling) it fills up my winterheart with so much joy.

but this year...i just can't get warm.  i am freezing every minute of every day.  i'm constantly adjusting my thermostat, my clothing layers, hair up or down, to find the most comfortable warm position that i can.

but...i'm over it.  i'm ready, really ready, for spring.  i want to get out in the garden and tend and plan and plant.  i'm particularly inspired by all the work vanessa shares on her ig stories of her garden.

i still can't believe it is only february and i want spring. well...  there it is...

wishing you all a happy and blessed imbolc. may the light of spring return to us and bring her warmth and guidance.
