I’ve been so busy this past month, traveling, seeing friends and spending time with family. It seems we’ve gotten every bug and germ and virus skulking around.

The sun is shining today, ski season has begun, and so sitting at my desk carving blocks has taken a backseat to being out there, soaking in the snowy backdrops and pine scents. Ideas and design inspiration do take time, and gathering scenes from the low light of winter is like collecting scraps for the future quilt. No need to rush. The mountains always do things their own way and in their own time.
