I was, very unfortunately, sick since the holidays. Last weekend was the first time I was able to walk outside and feel the winter sunshine on my face. Since then I I have been taking solitary icy cold (and very bundled up) walks to uplift my spirit. I think it&#8217;s working a bit. Once I started feeling better I was treasure hunting and sketching again, although at a much slower pace. I hope for a shift in energies soon. Everything is cold and grey and I am dreaming of sunshine and lushness&#8230;.flowers and meadows and picnics and laying in the grass with bare toes.<\/p>\n<p>\nI have a few favorite things that I acquired recently. I&#8217;m inspired.<\/p>\n<p>\nI want to to wear embroidered gardens (or sail in a ship atop one)&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/100130_5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nI am still inspired by ancestor-ship imagery  (not all ships with masts are for pirates!). I was lucky to find this little scrimshaw-inspired sterling silver brooch in an antique shop last week, along with a pretty adorned clutch.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/100130_1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd a little corner of my studio where my favorite jacket (featured above) hangs. Sunny corners and pretty clothes are enough to brighten me on a winters day.<\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/100130_6.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\nThanks to all your comments on my post from the beginning of January. I hope to reply to everyone today! I am full of gratitude that each and every one of you come back to visit, despite my recent lack of postings. Happy February.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things have been quiet, cold and very still. I was, very unfortunately, sick since the holidays.
