… Our Camellia tree at backyard started blooming here (is Seattle), YAY!
What a magic, especially if count that it’s still snowing here since morning
with a little breaks. The picture was taken right between one of them o;)
P.S.: By request for Ayesha. Even if we have much less snow this morning
(not to mention it’s really unusual for this state). Anyway, below are some
pictures… not the best ones for sure, but it’s pretty cold outside ;o) …My
poor tropical plants, even if they adopted to WA.

LOL, but looks as I’m in trouble :o) I’m working on logo for newest Scarf
Pattern and can’t decide with one is better. These pictures were taken
by great photographer and I just LOVE them, but I need pick one for
logo. On the first picture, scarf shown in real color and texture, but the
second picture has more sophisticated look…

Second Version:
So, which one of these pictures is your favorite and you think will work for
logo the best? Any opinions will be count and much appreciated!
For reference, this Scarf was made with Lion Suede yarn in Scarlet Red.
