Putting the "Spring" back into my Step




......I think the slump I was in has ended thanks to so many of you who are making mandala's and such I thought I would make one for myself ....

.....and then......



my mojo came back.! 


There is just something about yarn that I can't ever part from it too long.....it will always find it's way back to me sooner or later.



What started out to be yucky day, surely took a quick turn for the better and it put me in such a better mood. I fix myself  a cup of iced coffee and sat in front of the kitchen window, with the windows up....it felt so good!! . I sat there long enough to whip up this cute little mug cozy, wondering why in the world haven't I ever made on before....it was so darn easy and quick!


After my second cup of coffee, I went for a walk around my yard and this is the view right when I step out. Isn't it lovely!!  So much color! I've never seen such vibrant colors around here in a very long time. Last year, I guess the Winter did everything some good and I am

I've even started up on, not one, but two projects other than making mug cozies and mandala's. One will be a table topper for a small table and then the other will be a blanket from all those squares I've still been working on.
I think that will keep me busy for awhile....don't you?












I'll keep you updated on them soon.....

  1. The mandala is very pretty and the mug cozy looks wonderful with the huge button. Those colours you have used for the blanket and table topper are just amazing.

  13. Lovely colors in both yarn and trees and flowers. I'm so jealous as it still looks like winter up here in NH with snow still on the ground and not a green bud in sight, yet. Another couple of weeks we should start blooming... I can't wait. What a long cold winter!
    Glad to see you got your yarn mojo back... nothing like a bundle of beautiful colors of yarn to cheer you up! :D
    Hugs my sweet blogging sister,
    Beth

  20. Hi Shari,

    That blanket you are working on looks lovely! Do you mind if I ask where to find the pattern? I too am suffering from lost craft mojo at the moment, and slowly trying to regain it!
