Rainy Day Inspiration

Last weekend I had one of those days where nothing seemed inspiring and every project I picked up seemed to go wrong. I just felt off. I was impatient with sewing, didn't feel like cleaning and wasn't feeling creative enough to start a new project. Once there was a brief break in the rain I decided to take Bella out for a walk in order to find some inspiration.

If there's one thing I can always count on it's that nature will always have something to give. Some bright flicker of color, interesting texture or captivating surprise is always awaiting. One of my favorite quotes is one by Frank Lloyd Wright, " Stay close to nature. It will never fail you." And nature didn't disappoint, I found just what I was looking for out in the fresh rain-filled air; a sense of peace and some much needed motivation. After returning I was awash with ideas and had plenty of energy to dive in to the projects I had wanted to work on earlier in the day. And of course, I took plenty of pictures on my walk to share…

This is my favorite shot from the day, Bella had just had her first haircut ever and there were droplets of misty rain all over her fur.
