Love the photo ! Kaffe Fassett's site is always a good place for lifting a mood :)
Look at the calendar on his website and see if he is visiting your area. I've heard him give illustrated talks a couple of times - once years ago ( mid 80's) in the lovely lovely Port Sunlight and then a few years ago in Gothenburg where I also did a one day patchwork workshop. Although patchwork isn't somethng I do I knew that it would be a wonderful inspiring day immersed in colour and it didn't disappoint ! :)
