Transition table runner

 

Here in California, we are smack in the middle of two seasons.  The weather is warm and springlike one minute, and then windy and raining the next.  In the morning the furnace is running full blast, and in the afternoon, the windows are open, and you can hear the neighbors cutting their lawn.
  I made a simple table runner to take me from chilly winter to the warmth of spring.  The brown gingham reminds me of the dark, bare, branches of the trees.  Yet, the tiny flowers on the calico are so springlike.  I made one pink block to represent the first little bloom pushing up from the dirt.  The binding is the color of new grass.
It's going to rain this week, even though it's warm today and the air smells like sunshine.  The breeze is stirring the blossoms from the pear tree, and they are fluttering across the yard and into the pool.  It looks so pretty.
 I want to do something with that yarn.  I love those colors, but I'm just drifting along like the pear blossoms, trying to figure out where I'll land, what new project to start.  I've been looking on Pinterest and Ravelry and blogs and blogs and blogs.  Everyone is so talented and inspiring and full of great ideas!  I need a moment to let it all sink in.  A glass of wine wouldn't hurt either.
Here's to a very creative week!!!!!
