Bird's Eye View or Orange You Glad
Hi C,
We're all thinking spring here despite the blanket of snow that covers the ground. As you know, I'm an early riser and have witnessed signs of spring in the wee small hours. The birds are singing, the owls are hooting and the geese honking its arrival. I still have trouble getting the concept that you're experiencing just the opposite down under. You mentioned soft hues of grey and taupe as showing up on Sydney's fall fashion forecast. Here we're happily unpacking boxes of color at Nextdoor. For the past two years it seemed that everything came in two shades, black or grey. This spring orange is on the horizon in all its glory, every shade you can imagine from soft corals to bright tangerines. Our customers are loving it! Course, we're pretty casual here as you know. Everything has to work back to a great pair of jeans, a cute handbag and some fun accessories. I have lots of shades of orange yarn in the studio and have enjoyed knitting up some colorful easy wraps to wear indoors now and outdoors later on. I'll keep you posted as the season progresses, but so far it looks like a colorful spring!

23 days left to complete a year of creating a piece each day
Hi there to other creative minded friends
R wrote -http://shopatnextdoor.blogspot.com " I only have 23 days left on Project A Day! I've knit over 150 scarves so far and have at least another 50 to go just to use up the yarn that customers brought in. I've taught Ula how to knit them and created a knitting monster. She loves it. June is also helping me, so now I mostly just sew them together. It's turning into a really great community project. Wish you were here...you are my missing link.
Clara - thanks R. It's been a year (what was the exact date?) since we reconnected through Facebook and you have enhanced and enriched my life in many ways, including a fabulous trip thanks to wonderful Roberto, where we caught up after 30 years to continue just where we left off.
It has been a delight to be part of your Project One a Day, to witness your amazing creativity and drive, combined with community spirit. What a great way to end your amazing year of creativity; ie cosy, stylish scarves brightening and warming so many lives. Very very very proud of you!!!
I've been away on holidays and cannot believe how much has been achieved with this community effort - to such an extent that you have been able to create additional pieces to complete your amazing 'year of living creatively.'

Accessories to die for
Hi R
Thought I would checkout your new fashion blog - since I am lucky enough to be visiting in fall, I'm wondering how I will decorate myself. As you know I adore scarves and the way you put them together with complementary jewellery and stunning bags. Old Rose is my favourite - very flattering colour, hope it is still there when I arrive.
Others can visit http://www.shopatnextdoorfashionscene.blogspot.com/ to view more fabulous looks and even buy online if they like.
