March 2022 Journal
Well, looking out the window I sure don't feel any Springtime coming this way. But inside where it is warm and colorful my heart is singing the birds song. March is here, this winter has flashed by, my mind and soul are ready for the warmth of the Sun, filling my bird feeders, watching the grass and flowers pop up for a new season. A season for growth, prosperity and happiness.
I welcome my friends back from their winter getaways, and the many new faces that will visit as the weather warms. Allow yourself to find peace in each day, find the time to reflect, and the time to create. Creation takes on a new look when your heart is full of warmth and joy. Be thankful, be peaceful and be loved.
See you all soon, join us for thankfulness, for the peace of friendship, and the love that we share when we gather. We hope to share with you the new fabrics, the beautiful wools and many more events offered throughout this next season.
