Mississippi Street Fair!

I will be vending this weekend at the Mississippi Street Fair. I'll be mid-block, west side, between Mason and Skidmore. The fair runs from 10am - 9pm. Come down and say hello and pick yourself up a pretty or two!

p.s. I will probably need pepping up sometime around 4 - as I will most likely be exhausted by then - so you singing and dancing for me would be good too!...

Crafty Wonderland/Winter Wonderland

This is the equivalent of an all-out blizzard in Portland. The picture on the left is Sunday morning. It had been snowing for maybe an hour. On the right is Monday morning. The storm has moved on and there's a crystal blue sky. It's pretty cold out right now (for PDX), in the 20s, and the snow is either icy or crunchy. The city has shut down: schools are closed, people are home from work, no one's out. I'm liking it. I like that we get to live with a bit of snow (I threw a snowball at some boys this morning...) for a few days and then it goes away. It's not here for months. It's pretty for a couple of days.

For Kana, the jury is still out on this snow stuff.

Unfortunately, this winter wonderland killed Crafty Wonderland. And for that it's not so pretty.
