My sweet friend Kim at Vintage Pretties was talking about the “glums” the other day, and can I relate! It’s just been so cold, rainy, and gloomy in Dallas for most of this new year, that I feel like I’m in a funk. The one thing that cheers me up is thinking about how pretty our garden will be this spring, after all of this rain! And Kim’s idea of a nice relaxing bath and some magazine therapy sounds like a great remedy.
I’m getting ready for the Valentine’s party on Friday at Bargain Hunting With Laurie. I’ve been sitting by the fire and crocheting hearts (my free pattern is here), while also randomly organizing all of my jewelry-making supplies and massive fabric stash. It’s cheering me up a little. Blogging helps, too! As does a warm computer on the lap and a mug of hot cocoa.
A cozy corgi to cuddle with is kind of nice, too!
Stay Warm,
Andrea
I really do agree with the February glums. More snow here. grrrr.

It sounds like you have the perfect remedy for the winter doldrums. Your hearts are wonderful!

I think this year it doesn't matter where you live...winter is awful. We are snowing again now (Illinois) and I'm so tired of it.
I've spent more time curled up with a pup in my lap this winter too.

I hope that cocoa & cuddling in front of the fire does the trick!

Hi Andrea,
Sounds like we have been feeling the same way lately! It's gray and rainy here, off and on for weeks now. But I shouldn't complain. I have a fireplace, a nice warm blanky and some hot tea. And I just bought the latest Country Living. So I'll join you for a little sit down!
Hope the week gets sunny for you!
XO

I tried to comment earlier and it wouldn't let me. So trying again. It looks ultra cozy and you'd better stay there. Looks like we're getting cold weather tonight! Keep the home fires burning.
