most of today, it was like this outside:
i actually took this shot from safely INSIDE the house, tho' i did have to have the window open wide. but only briefly. anyway, thanks to this, i stayed inside all day, drinking tea and pursuing all sorts of goodness on flickr. i love to make mosaics and see what it is that's catching my eye. as you can see, i'm a little bit in need of fresh, bright spring colors:

i also spent quite some time trying to use this tutorial (recommended by spud), to crochet a fancy granny square. my failure to do so is not a reflection of the tutorial. nor is it from a lack of really good yarn that is totally suitable for said granny squares:
but, tomorrow is another day and i shall eventually succeed. or else move on to something else that i actually am able to do. like spend hours and hours looking at beautiful things on flickr.

beautiful color
that snowy photo of yours is stunning, julie.
i'm in need of a snow day, myself.
Yesterday, slot of snow
Today icy-roads
Thank you King of Winter.
I hope that the Princess of Spring will be born soon.
Fortunately, we got only rain, but it froze over in the night and made for an interesting drive to work.
Love your mosaics with all the colours, I love colours in winter. Right now I am dressed in pink and magenta form top to toe, just to avoid dressing in black as everyone else in Denmark in winter.;)

Lovely contrast between the grey cold snow and the brilliance of color that you have surrounded yourself with!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the color and your creations - it makes me own grey scene a bit brighter!
I'm just drinking in those spring colors. I keep looking for green shoots in my garden . . . but maybe I should be looking on flickr instead?
My big project for the week has been setting up C's version of the Blue Room. ;)
I love those collages too - so many wonderful ideas.
thanks for this wonderful punch of color!! so much inspiration!
The colours in your home are breathtaking. Please keep posting these shots ~ they take me away to a colourful world at the end of the rainbow. WOW!
