Wishing for Spring

Last couple weeks, in this area, we have had low temperatures of 6 degrees, heavy winds and 11 inches of snow. Today, the sun is up, temperature is 38 degrees and heavy winds but this time no snow. I am sitting here, hoping I seen the last of the snow for the season. I am so ready for spring, I can smell the flowers and feel the pull to start attending outdoor festivals again.



I know, for me, winter months are my production times for my jewelry and needle felting. A time to check out what I would like to add into my sales booths, new designs and a time to make new contacts with show promotors for the next years season of outdoor festivals. I know this, and I try to stay on track but after a month or two, I find my mind wondering and my fingers slowing down. Almost, as if I need warmer spring weather to jump start my creative side.



The show applications are starting to pile on one side of my design desk and notes of new designs on the other side of the desk. In between, one incomplete project that I started two days ago. And all I can do today is look at the sunshine gleaming through the window; even though I know there is a few left over piles of snow from the last storm just under the window sill.



In hopes of spring, coming sooner than later, my new projects have been copper flower charms and pendants. Think it will help??? 100% copper and copper enameled flowers, earthy, bright and cheery to wear or gift.
