A Tornado? Oh Auntie Em - Auntie Em...

I made this treasury this morning after hearing that we are supposed to be getting golf ball size hail and possibly a tornado today!?! We aren't supposed to get tornadoes here. I'm glad I took pictures of my flowers yesterday, after today they might be all that's left. I found all these things in my favorites. Sometimes it seems like there is a treasury already half made and waiting for me in there :)

I'm So Easily Distracted These Days

This is the view out my window when I'm sitting at my computer. Between clicking on websites that lead to other fabulous websites and interesting blogs and fun tutorials and then to die for recipes and pictures so beautiful I get lost in them and then just daydreaming out the window...

On the Way to Spain

Red Rose Crochet Necklace

This necklace is on it's way to Spain. That just makes me happy. Flamenco dancers twirled in my imagination as I made it. I only wish I could deliver it in person. Spain is pretty high up on my list of places i want to visit before I die. The thing that would make a visit to Spain perfect for me, is to know someone when I got there. Being a tourist is fun but it certainly has it's limitations. The places I have seen with a native are the best travel experiences. Getting to see things from the perspective of someone who knows  from  personal connections is really getting to experience them. You know if I ever get to Spain, I'll tell you all about it :)

Happy Hundred!

I hit the 100 sales mark in the shop. I wanted bugles to sound or confetti to fall or something. Nothing happened. It was another one of those invisible on the internet even though it's up for the whole world to see moments. I really like the anonymity of selling on the internet, just every once in a while it seems a little too sterile.Then my daughter called to congratulate me and that really was all I needed :)

And -- it's spring!!

It's Wedding Season

I saw this book in my wanderings on the internet. I was so amused I had to share. I kinda want the book. I even kinda want to knit my own Royal Wedding :)

Still Winter Here

Woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow on the ground again. I'm beginning to think this winter will never end. A few years ago we had snow on the 10th of June. The daffodils are up and want to bloom. I'm definitely in their corner cheering them on but I'd hate to see them bloom and then get frozen.

Cherry Blossoms

Not Cherry Blossoms but Magnolias are beautiful too!

Just got back home from 12 days in Washington D.C. It's actually spring there. Flowers are blooming. I came back to very gusty wind and sideways rain. I hope it will be spring here soon, but for now, we can all enjoy these pictures I took of the cherry blossoms :) Congratulations to Jacqueline who won the Spring Blossom earrings!
