Winter blues


I've been getting a serious case of the winter blues lately! I guess to be more accurate, its been more like a case of the winter greys, blacks and neutrals. I've been loving all the soft neutral colors this winter. The light greys, oatmeals and beiges seem so cozy in the winter months, but now I'm craving some color!! Spring still seems so far away I need a dose of some springtime color somewhere.
For me, the best way to cure the winter blues is with some good ol' retail therapy. I may have gone a little crazy this time. If there's a rehab for fabric addicts, I need to sign up. Actually, that would involve not buying more fabric and I still have a spot on the top shelf of my closet that could fit at least a few more yards. Once that gets full I may need to come to terms with things. The next blog that I write may start with "hello my name is Nicola and I'm a fabric addict." In the meantime, I'm going to delight in all these bright, springy colors!

Spring better hurry up and get here to give me a dose of color in the landscape before I go broke or turn into an all out hoarder/addict. Check out these beautiful fabrics! I can wait to get to work on some new projects with them.
I hope everybody else is finding some way to stay sane till springtime!!
