Spring Romance

The air here, today, holds the sense that romance is in everything.
There's a dampening humidity that's being courted by the wind, the weather is on the cusp of blustery.

If I sit very still I can feel the smallest rain fall.
If I sit very still I can let things fall into place, creating a peaceful setting.

This photo is a cliche but food & drink are comforts. The jelly is from a few/several years ago, it's unmarked. I know it is blueberry… because that's my way and I have made blueberry jelly only once. It's yummy and I shlould make some again this year.

Mother Nature continues with her work and I'm glad to watch the season transformation. This reminds me of standing in the closet deciding what to wear for the day. Then, viola!, I've put things together that make me feel good and comfy.

I'm taking advantage of the overcast day to take photos of my latest creations. Some of these have already been on FB but they're so lovely that I wanted to make more photos for this post.

Lots of handspinning has been going on. I need to put these out for sale in public but they are providing a lot of inspiration hanging around here. I can see purses and cowls and hats all made from these.

Here is one of the latest yarns to come off the bobbin. I recently made a hat with a similar color way and spin technique (long tendril twists, short and long coils). There was a few rounds of vintage looking wedding dress white silk ribbon added in to the hat design. The combination of textures gives a romantic springtime effect with a pinch of spritely playfulness.
