Snowy February

Well, the snow outside makes for good fun hooking inside! Here is an update on the progress of the 60" long runner that I will turn into a cornice over the picture window in my living room. I wanted to liven things up with color. . . . maybe it is spring fever coming early! In any case the splashes of intense color should liven things up!

Yesterday was a snow day and this morning's sun cast the most amazing shadows on that cold canvass of unmarked white. I love the way the shadows look blue. . . hmm. . .makes me want to stain that fence blue!

The way the snow lands on the bare branches of the deciduous trees and shrubs is such wonderful contrast to the greens and blues of the junipers and spruces. This frigid time of year certainly is beautiful to look at and even inspiring. . . but I do love being inside and hooking next to a gently burning fire!
I hope that you are warm and cozy and planning your spring gardens! It won't be long before my yard begins to wake up and provide me with a bounty of color — and Spot the Columbian ground squirrel will be out of hibernation begging for sun flower seeds and peanuts!

Even though we are blessed with a very cold, grey day here in Colorado. . . . Oh! and it is snowing. . . . I must have spring fever! My sweet hubby spent the past couple of weekends painting a few rooms in the house just to brighten the place up a bit, and I am hooking a cornice for the living room that will be VERY bright and colorful! This sketch is just a quick idea and the colors I am playing with are red-orange (not the orange in the sketch), gold and a wonderfully bright teal. I have it about 1/3 of the way hooked and will post a photo in a few days!
 
This time of year it is always good to get some direction going as far as my artistic goals for the next year are concerned. I have a really large rug sketched up and ready to put to backing. This will be another figurative challenge that I am itching to get started on!

    I am a fiber artist and sculptor living in sunny, Tennessee.  I have a home studio where I dye and sell gorgeous wool fabric. 

    Teaching rug hooking, sculpting and how to dye wool are some  of my favorite things to do!
