    For the love of color--a good way to start saying goodbye to winter

    As a weaver and a lover of color in general, I found this delightful. The issue for me isn't, would you wear this---it's just, "Oh, look! Seeing a splash of color is just plain fun."

    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

    Thanks for sharing that piece.

    I loved to contrast between the black tights and some of the bright shoes. Just what we needed to remind us that spring will eventually get here, despite the approaching snow storm.

    I love seeing all the ladies in their hats.

    You know what's interesting, as the economy tanked my paintings became much more bolder and deliberate with color.

    How interesting! I've been teaching myself fair isle and nordic knitting, stepping it up from just stripes.

    In just a few minutes, I'm starting the Biodynamic Hat from here in bright red, fuschia pink and poppy orange. I love this woman's designs - and a portion of the profits supports bunnies!

    I've never heard of a Biodynamic hat. That's very, very interesting. The colors and patterns on the blog are a feast for the eyes. You'll have to post a picture of your hat when you're finished. I have a special spot in my heart for artisans and craftsmen.

    I enjoyed that but somehow found the narration irritating and distracting.

    If anyone knows where I can find a faux leopard swing coat please let me know. I need one to wear with my tiara.
