January in the Pacific Northwest is gloomy. It just is. It is gray and cold and dreary. There is a nearly constant drizzle. No winter wonderlands here. Just winter puddles.
Since there are not many cheery things outdoors, I’ve tried to notice the cheery things indoors. Here are some things that have been cheering me up lately:
Sisters reading.
Messages.
Dressing up.
Wee Wonderfuls redwork that wasn’t done in time for Christmas.
Candles.
Flowers from my husband and daughter.
Works in progress.
Deciding that red berry wreaths do not have to be reserved for Christmas only.
I hope you are finding some cheer in your January!
i hear you it is so gloomy out side i only wish my wall color was not white wish it was a bright cheerful color. Maybe if I get a house I can paint it any color I wish too
how funny – i still have that same embroidery to finish – from LAST Christmas! I WILL finish it before next year, though, I swear.
