Sometimes you just have to ignore the gray!

As you well know, we, as many of you are in the throws of a Polar Vortex here in WI. 
I do not mind the snow and cold, but dislike 'gray' day after day. 
That is why I could not live in Portland - even though it is beautiful. I can not even begin to fathom how my nephew and his family make it through Anchorage's winters. He said it is the long summers that make it worthwhile, but I don't buy it. 
Yesterday we finally got sun for a bit in the morning and late day. I walked into my studio and it was like visiting the Caribbean for a moment. (well no snorkeling, but sunny and colorful!). So I cranked up some tunes lit up some good smelling incense and sat back and reveled in the light. (I even washed a window to let more in) My studio is south facing, so in the winter, it gets whatever sun there is all day! Both my rescued Geranium and I enjoy it.  Oddly enough, even the sweaters I worked on were more colorful than usual!

It is funny how once you change your mindset, even the world around you seems to change... suddenly I noticed all the colors in my pins and fabrics and even in the equipment at the gym! 

I wish for you a colorful (and warm) day today.
