I'm here in a long-sleeve T-shirt, fleece hoodie and vest, typing with chilled hands. After some beautiful, warm days, Spring feels a little callous in letting such cold weather return. My peas are planted though, and tomatoes and peppers are waiting to go into our new greenhouse soon.

The chill weather gives me time to stay inside and create! And since I'm "thinking Spring," my jewelry ideas are starting to flow like our little creek. They're blooming like the crocus and snowdrops I see from my window. I'm imagining soft greens, pastels, leaves and flowers.

This is an exciting start: I've added a new necklace I'm calling "Spring has Sprung!" to what is going to be a collection of jewelry inspired by the new season.

This is only the beginning, as my mind is stirring awake, just like the plants and creatures out here!
