bring me sunshine…

I don't know about you but all this wet and wintry weather is really getting me down! So in an attempt to cheer myself up I am surrounding myself with a rainbow of yarn.

Rainbowyarn

Getting all this sorted out and bagged up has helped me to get organised and I now have some animals ready to be added to etsy, hopefully starting tomorrow. I'm also hoping to write up a free Eastery pattern in the next few weeks. It definitely helps to look ahead to spring – let's hope it gets here very soon!

  1. I totally agree with you; here in Denmark the weather is also grey, wet and cold. I would have preferred sunny, white and cold, but if we can’t have that, then give us spring – soon ;0)
    All your beautiful yarn look so fine and it do bring hapiness watching it. It’s wonderful how colour can affect one’s mood :0)

  2. Wow!! Color! I feel like I’ve been living in black and white for the last two months…all that dirty snow. I feel spring on the horizon. Hope I can get one of your toys!

  3. Those gorgeous colours couldn’t fail to cheer you up Julie – hope they do do the trick! This time of year can be the toughest can’t it? Still, bulbs are peeping p, the birds are just beginning to sing a little more and spring really is on the way. Emma x

  4. I am very jealous – I have pledged not to buy any more yarn until I’ve used at least one box of what I have (ignoring the 13 balls of RYC cashsoft I just “acquired”) and now I see things I want!
    Hope your chooks are still bringing you lots of cheer 🙂

  6. Just what I needed to cheer up yet another day when the snow just won’t go away – if you come and visit my new blog, you can see how much of the nasty white stuff we’ve had (and I’m having a one-month anniversary giveaway to tempt you!)

  11. Ooh, what a lovely bright stash – definitely just the thing to brighten up this ice cold misty morning!
    Having seen the latest additions to your household I’m wondering if it won’t be long before we see some little knitted chickens joining the LCR family??

  12. I’m longing for your weather! here in South East Australia we’ve just come through 12 days of temp over 35 with probably 8 of those above 40 ending with 46 degrees, wind and bushfires destroying homes within 1 km of ours. Rain sounds just so good.
    I hope spring warms you soon, as autumn cools us.
    thanks for your rainbow.

  13. I am totally with you. The weather is so depresssing. That stash is really cheery. I have been buying knitting patterns like they will not make any more. I should be sewing for an upcoming craft fair but I just prefer knitting a the mo.

  14. That’s beautiful! We could do with something to brighten up the grey here too the last few days, but we did get some sunshine today.
    I love the pics of your chickens, they have so much personality!

  15. Hi
    Just wanted to say that i have been visitng your blog for many moons now-it was the first blog I ever found and went to. I have a blog of my own (not nearly as interesting as this alas) and have awarded you a blog award for all you do especially for good causes-the gratitude bit of the award as you will read.If you want to go and see please do visit my blog and it’s up to you to decide if you want to award further awards of course. Thanks and hope the Australian Appeal raises lots of money-I didn’t think my message appropriate on that post so hope you find this one. Thanks. Jennie
