handmade solutions #61 :: outfitting your mood

[outfitting your mood]

i’ll be honest. the last few weeks have been rough. i live in wisconsin and it’s done nothing but snow, snow, snow for the last month and i’m ready for a little sunshine and warm weather. i’m in a bit of a funk. designing, which normally makes me giddy, is being squashed by the gloomy weather. so, as a pick me up, this week, i thought i’d focus on outfitting my mood with happy yellow beauties that make me smile. i hope they put a little bounce in your step as well.
