Happy Solstice to All!

I love winter, don't you?

That time of dormancy that allows for quiet growth that won't be seen until the big debut in springtime.
I know many people don't enjoy the shorter days of winter.


To me, there is an air of expectation about this time of year. It holds it's own stark beauty.

The shorter days and cooler weather always inspire me to work in wool.

That wonderful texture and subtle warmth just lends itself to winter work.

Have a wonderful winter. I should have pictures of new work by Wednesday!

Until next time, happy shortest day of the year!

Theresa

  7. i so agree with you, i love this time of year, for me it is a kind of retreating as the nights darken early, a time for contemplation 7 slowing down wishing you a wonderful christmas and a happy new year too x
