I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱 O I like to have a new project in early spring 🌸🌱

Often it's the colours that I find most inspiring. After winter, the blossom is a change. And even though the lichen was already there, noticing the blossom means noticing the lichen as well. 

One creative invitation for February was to start something with no intention of finishing it, so that is what I am doing.

February is not really one thing or the other, and February is not really one thing or the other, and both at the same time. There are signs of spring everywhere. Early blossom is appearing and the hedgerows are waking up. The other day, I saw buds on a magnolia tree in somebody's garden, green and fuzzy and huge. 

When I took these photos, it had snowed earlier in the day. Signs of spring among reminders that it is still winter. 

We forget that we are part of nature. We have cycles and seasons. If February has anything to say to us, it is that it is fine to be several things at once, or not quite one or the other. Everything will work itself out in its own time. 🌸💮🌱❄️

Creative invitations for February, on the theme of Creative invitations for February, on the theme of thresholds:

Spot thresholds and make a written or mental list 

Make something woven to symbolise February as a gate between winter and spring

Notice things that feel undecided or in between, both objects and impressions. You might like to explore them in a collage

Begin something with no intention of finishing it
