Longing for Spring


(source unknown - please tell me if you know!)

I promised myself I would write something for today, even if it was just a little something. How are you all? Is spring/autumn treating you well? I want to be the girl in this picture: alone in the woods with my thoughts.

I am knitting a brown hooded cardigan right now, and am almost up to the tippy-top of the hood. It's reminiscent of a corset with sleeves, something an herb-gatherer might wear into the woods with lots of little pots and bottles jangling in her skirt pocket.

Today while I prayed, I painted my fingernails sparkly pink. Because it's almost spring.

I love the image--it's so you. And I love the image you conjure with your lovely words. You really get faery experiences.

I wish I could knit! I am hoping to sew a cape very soon. I got the pattern yesterday :) I hope you have a lovely spring and time for solitude in the woods

yes, do post a pic when you finish the cardy!

always enjoy your images & musings...

wishing you spring tidings of---

spangle dust & petal showers/ and golden dusky woodland hours/ dreamy random roaming/ warm hearth-side in the gloaming...

That is where the picture is from :) I recognized it because there is another one of that same photoshoot that I fell in love with :D So whimsical and Faerie ;)

Pink sprarkly nailpolish is always the way to go...

Greenthings!

lovely picture - concerning the sources - there is one website I found recently - www.tineye.com - where you can upload a link or a picture itself to find it's source on the web. I also have a problem of tracking back all the old images, but this tool works magic) enjoy)
