Phew, it’s been awhile!  I have been busy busy busy lately and there has been so much crafty goodness going on around here lately that I’m not even sure where to start.  So….how about with something totally NOT crafty?  Here’s a pic of the BEAUTIFUL tree in our front yard that decided to blossom this weekend, just in time for May Day.  Gorgeous!

The Madre and I flew in to Portland Tuesday night from SF so we could spend all day Wednesday before Sock Summit exploring. What a great city! We hit Voodoo Donuts (of course), Chinatown, Washington Park, Portland’s Rose Garden and had a FABULOUS dinner. Check it out! (Warning: excessive number of rose photos included)

Then…oh then…was Sock Summit.

How do you describe such an awesome experience? I’m still not sure I can. I made great new friends, learned so much, met amazing people and to top it all off, I got to share it all with The Madre. Here are a few of my favorite pics.

I’m sure you’ve noticed that I have no pictures of the Marketplace or of any purchases. Well, that would be because (1) I was too busy buying things to take any pictures of the awesome Marketplace and (2) I bought so much stuff that I had to have it shipped all home and it should be here on Monday. Stay tuned…

What happened to the last few weeks?  To be honest, I have no idea.  I’ll blame it on the nicer weather we’ve been having around here…FINALLY.  I have a few knitting and felting projects to share, but in the meantime, here are some photos I took at the Macy’s flower show a few weeks back.

Because our first guy was doing so great, we decided to expand our collection with two more.

One problem – orchids are kitty magnets.

But I think we might have found a solution…

Seven blossoms and six more buds about to bloom.  It’s -31F with the windchill right now.

This poor plant is clearly more confused than I am (and that’s saying something).

The Madre is in town for the weekend and so far we’ve been having a fantabulous time. This morning we scored some awesome garage sale finds and then spent the afternoon walking around the Como Zoo & Conservatory with The Canadian in tow. We saw a ton of things that I wanted to draw, but it was a bit hot in the sun so we ended up taking a bunch of pictures to draw from later.

Then, on our way back to the car, we met this cheeky fellow. He came right out to meet us!
