I live in Northwest Iowa and this winter has been so…..long! It came early and has seemed to stay forever! We got snowed in at Christmas, there were a couple weeks where the kids had more snow days than actual school days , and now when I shovel my drive I have to throw the snow over my head to the piles! The weather forecast for this weekend is, of course, more snow! I like winter, but even for me all this white is getting to be a bit much! So, I head down into my little basement studio and start dreaming of spring creations. Yellow flowers, green shamrocks and red breasted robins-and I start to feel hopeful again. After all, winter can't last forever-even in Northwest Iowa!
