I have picked up this lovely magazine a couple of times before and this past week I got the most current issue and LOVE IT!! It is beautiful. The photos are delicious. The quotes that used to "wrap" each section are perfect. And the women who are highlighted in this publication are also inspiring.
Our world is filled with inspiring stories about heroes every day helping the thousands in Haiti, so my senses are filled with inspiration. Sometimes I feel so small, what can I do to help such a big problem? I know there are lots of things we can do, and in the book by Greg Mortensen, when he meets with a very poor refugee, the older man is saddened that he cannot even offer a cup of tea, the only thing he can offer is a prayer. So yes, even the smallest gesture can have the biggest effect. ahhh...
So back to my newest magazine, and why I love it (and so many other magazines). We are in the throws of January in New England, and it is cold, and very white and bare. I find most years I create the best during this seasonal void not being distracted by my gardens and the other beautiful things that surround me.

My studio is getting cleared out for a transformation (I am thinking Tuscany, I am going to make my studio into a Tuscan escape!) and am working on a colorful box for a customer and pillow fabric for another. My paints are out, my notebook open and soon to have fiber in the dye pots!
