Finally got the 2011 Denver National Quilt Festival quilt top printed and pieced! (Actually, I've been planning to do this project since 2009...) Now I just have to do the applique and quilting. By March 15.
Finally designed a snowflake rug!
The Lizard gave me my first orchids ever!
I had SO much fun playing with Wordle!
Valentine's Day was romantic...
I got flowers!
Inspired by love, I designed new greeting cards for the first time in many, many months.
Ever since I finished my first pair of monster socks, I've wanted to make a monster cowl. Finally took a break from white boredom (caused by making too many white snowflakes) and went crazy with color. I love this so much, I can't wait to make more!
I gave my Etsy shop a facelift for the first time since I opened it in 2009. I also answered the Etsy challenge to describe myself in six words: Cycling Snowflake Designer Craves Vibrant Color. Doesn't touch cross-country skiing, photography, journaling, writing, poetry, backpacking and gardening, but well, hey, it hits a couple of the main points!
And I got flowers!!!
Finally got to go cross country skiing. Everything was white when we first arrived, but then the sun popped out, we had a beautiful day, and the snow returned with fury as we got back to the car after seven glorious miles of smiles. More photos from the outing tomorrow when I go wordless.
And did I mention flowers???Thank you, Alicia, for giving us a new tool to fight seasonal affective disorder. I've enjoyed the Project, I look forward to doing it again next winter, and it was great getting to know you and being able to enjoy your stunning photography.
another flower, another smile...

Orchids are awesome! I love the little tiny ones the best. I'm glad you had such an awesome Valentine's Day!

Fantastic pictures...they make me feel like I'm RIGHT THERE.
I am so blessed to know you.
I always love your photos. And congrats on the quilt. I will be back in Sept. Taking a 6 month break to hopefully get out and enjoy the sun. :) But don't forget to remember to smile! Thank you for your continued support!! :)
