Spring is finally on its way and other Random thoughts...

We have finally had a break in the weather here. It's no longer freezing cold, of course the trade off is that it is grey and raining....can't win them all! I am so glad that warmer weather is on the way! Now of course here in this neck of the woods we may still have another round of snow - it wouldn't be totally unheard of, but I hope it is getting warmer for good. It felt like we really didn't have a Fall, it went straight from hot and sunny to immediately cold...I don't even think we had Indian Summer last year. So, I am welcoming the sun, rain, or whatever - as long as it is warm!!

I am currently working on the design for my tea party apron swap. My swap partner likes black and pink combo and pink and purple are her favorite colors...that kind of shot what I was originally planning to do. I have the prettiest cotton fabric with teapots and teacups on it...I've had it my stash for almost 8 years I'd say and never had the perfect project for it yet, but it is cream background and teapots/cups are in pastels and it has a soft green vine running throughout the background as well. It really is pretty, but I'm not sure it would be to my partner's liking so it's back to the drawing board. I also have an off white background fabric with shades of blue teapots/cups on it...which again doesn't fit her faves. Any suggestions? I'm having a hard time envisioning a pink and black or purple tea party apron. Really, if you have any ideas, please comment!

Well, I just heard the dryer buzz, so it's back to work I go!
