During the insanity that is this week,
I like to reflect back on what a lovely weekend it was...
...sailing lazily across the bay...
...wandering around town....
...eating my weight in various street noms.
I'm going to pretend I'm still there, ok?
{ how's your week goin'?}
Guess who went to the fabric store this weekend?
I've been working on some new things for an insane ambitious attempt at a craft fair this weekend.
Could someone please add a few extra hours to the days this week, please?
Kthnxbai.
{ what are you workin' on? }
It's hard to believe, but I got a little sun burned this weekend.
We finally hit a lovely mid 70s summer day,
and the hubbers and I spent the whole thing hanging out on the patio.
The girls were pretty jealous.
Speaking of silly kittehs....
...have you seen this??
It kills me!
{ how was your weekend? }
I told ya I was working on new things.
Now...to photograph
(stop raining Seattle plz kthanxbai) .
{ how was your weekend? }
...have a friend come visit.
This is what I've been up to.
I think I have a problem.
{ did you have a tastey weekend? }
This weekend Panda and I went to Etysrain's Spring Craft Show.
We showed up early enough to score sweet swag bags...
...and then loaded up on delicious sugar snacks from ThisCharmingCandy.
I may have also made a similiarly awesome pillow mine....
( There was plaid involved. I can't be held responsible for my actions. )
In other news, my little blog counter below rolled past the 10k mark!
I happened to catch it just at this moment.
{ what did you get up to? }
Pssssssssst! - anyone interested in doing some guest posting here? i'm looking for posts for next friday, monday and tuesday. holla at me ---> bugmiscellany@gmail.com if you're down!
Right now we're averaging one nice day per week.
At least it's falling on the weekends.
We took full advantage on Sunday and hiked halfway up West Tiger 3.
I'm pretty sure I have a little sun burn today.
Totally. Worth it.
We stumbled across this tiny waterfall at the best time of day.
A an hour earlier or later and we'd have missed the gorgeous sunlight bouncing off the water.
Silly hubbers.
{ any adventures this weekend? }
Saturday was the most gloriously perfectly sunny day.
We couldn't put off redoing the garden any longer.
Before.
That's one dead tree.
And three hours later...
After.
Ok, so it doesn't look like much.
But at least we replaced all the dead things, with non-dead things (at least for now).
Plus...colors!
Later, because I was unwilling to give up even the last little shred of sunshine,
we had a bananagrams fest on the patio.
I lost, btw. How can you LOSE when playing "velociraptor?" Arrrgh!
(F, indeed.)
Have you ever played this game? It's aMAZing!
The hubbers winning hand.
Xenophobe? Really? He is so damn clever.
( Sorry for the posting delay. This week has started out INsane. )
{ what did you get up to? }
We were bitten by the Spring spruce up bug this weekend.
And that bug said: "you need patio furniture."
What would you think the odds are all this would fit inside a Toyota Camry?
If you guessed "pretty good," then you are the winner !
(and have a lot more faith in the hubbers tetris skills than I.)
And 'some assembly required' later...
... the finished product!
I've got big plans to live outside this summer.
Now, if only the weather would cooperate...
{ how was your weekend?}
Super. Great. Weekend.
My brother sent me a sweet little box of macaroons from Paris.
Pretty sure I've got the best brothers ever, sorry.
Then...otters!
I really hope I get reincarnated as one.
End the day with a stroll through the market, and you've pretty much got an excellent day on your hands.
Plus, almost NO RAIN. Gasp!

We had this great idea to go geocaching this weekend.
After a few missteps, a little pen forgetting and general frustration with my gps space machine, we ended up in the complete middle of nowhere.
It was a totally beautiful slice of nowhere, and it's really neat to feel in utterly forgein territory only 20 minutes from home.
We never did find a cache...
...but doesn't this tree look like it has a face??
{ what did you do this weekend? }
Another one of those weekends - nothing special but so productive.
Helpful Max woke me up at 5:30am each day, so I had lots and lots of time to get things done.
I updated the shop a bit....
...went to the most amazing rock shop...
...and watched far too many Dr. Who episodes while knitting hugebungous amounts.
(yep. i'm like the uber nerd.)
{ what did you do this weekend? }
The first day of spring turned out to be the perfect time to head back out into nature.
And it didn't even rain!
Federation Forest State Park runs along the White River - only about 20 miles east of our home.
Beautiful rocky shoreline runs right up to the mossy, dense forest.
Geology nerd alert!
What do you suppose this is all about?
Nature humor.
{ how was your first day of spring (or fall) ? }
It turned out to be a delicious weekend.
On Saturday we attended a fundraising event for Relay for Life Tacoma, where I essentially ate my weight in crab -- all for a good cause!
And if that wasn't enough...
...I decided to make a roasted squash and onion pasta* on Sunday. An interesting flavor combination that made the entire house smell great.
*my recipe didn't call for garlic, btw.
Yeah.
My weekend was basically devoted to food.
{ have any delicious adventures this weekend? }
On Sunday we took a bit of drive into the southern boonies.
The Green River Gorge is an impressive site, even more so as it feels like you are driving dead into the middle of nowhere.
Can you believe this is only like 15 minutes from my house?
Also. we cracked up at this sign in downtown Enumclaw.
A chilly day outdoors calls for homemade soup. I even feel warmed up just making it.
(Except for the bit where we had to open a bunch of windows because the onion fumes were making hubbers cry and cry and cry.)
Am I nerd that later I sat down and watched PBS' 25th anniversary of Les Miserables concert? It was like 'unintentional French evening.'
(That makes more sense if you realize I made onion soup.)
{ what adventures found you this weekend? }
We had one of those weekends where we did a lot of stuff,
but at the end you go "wait, where did the days go?"
The sunshine was glorious this weekend, but the clear skies kept the temps pretty cool.
I hate to say we wasted some of it by shopping instead of, say, shiver-y hiking....
...but look. Pretty!
I scored this dress (for like, half this price) at an awesome little boutique.
We've also been wanting the perfect table to live behind our sofa (so we can stop balancing things precariously on surfaces things were not meant to be balanced upon). After TWO HOURS at Ikea, we picked up this fella.
Round out the weekend with some delicious 'chocolate' stout (as in color, not flavor), and I'd say a heartily random time was had by all.
{ what shenanigans did you get into this weekend? }
Psssst! - I also bought this sweater in olive green, on double clearance. They only have 'em in stores, but $14.95?! c'mon!
