Snow, Blow and now, 40 Below





As I made my way, shoveling all the way, to see how the front yard and my car had come through the blizzard that moved in last night, I noted the lovely drifts in the front yard.....and then, looked to my right. OMG!! The net effect of the wind coming around the corner of the house made a drift even tall than my car. It will be blowing again tonight...but this time, bringing a windchill predicted to be very dangerous and well below zero. And then can we start Spring? Pretty Please?

Blizzard Wednesday

Tuesday as dusk was falling, the blizzard was settling in and gaining speed and strength. It will be awesome to see what kind of drifts and views we'll have for Wednesday morning's light! Tonight, the wind is roaring and when gusts slam into the house, everything trembles....

Meanwhile, snug and warm in the studio, a new order of exotic artisan dyed "silk straw" was just delivered and some of these new colors are so inspiring! Thick, substantial pure silk with wonderful names like "Dragon" and "Rainforest" and "Silver." Still to come are "Raspberry Crush," "Deep Sea" and "Underwater Moonlight." It's really fun to riff off of another artist's creations!

So all the snow and grayness aside, do you think I'm already beginning to day dream about Spring? Yes, probably!! This new line is just now showing up in my ArtFire shop here. Stay tuned as new colors and forms take root here in the dead of winter!!

I've been wearing a couple of these cuffs for a few days now. The light, stretchy construction and the smooth silk and mother of pearl or quartz are so soft and light, the comfort factor is about 10 on a scale of 10.
