See this at Straight Six Blues. I think I amgoing to loop this so Finn and I can do the horsey skip around the living room all morning.

Signs of spring

Hat, 50 cents!

Edmonds senior center thrift shop is foh rizzle.

Something's brewing!

Bluebeard is opening on Tuesday, April 12th!

I did complete the chalkboard and Annie drank her first cup this week! Hot diggity. Now, that chalkboard looks like I whipped it out in 20 minutes. That is the beauty of good art. It looks effortless. I wish I had more photos to post of the interior, but on the other hand, if you just google "Bluebeard Coffee" you will find sufficient hype. It seems that keeping people waiting is a really good way to generate conversation. Go Annie and Kevin!

Here are the details:

2201 6th Ave in Tacoma
(That's at 6th and State)

Sock garage!

I'm taking all of Finn's old, cute socks and I'm gonna sew them to a little sleeve of fabric, slide in some cardboard to make it hard and then he can store his matchbox cars in the little sockies!!!! I'll keep you posted here on the progress of that idea.

Spring bang trims!

Ffff-movie! (read smoothie)

Vintage Stretch and Sew--thanks mom!

My mom has a couple of great stretch and sew patterns for kids. This
one us a simple, raglan sleeve top that only took 2 hours to make. The
fabric comes from a Longview, WA thrift purchase--Polo dress that I
thought might get some wear. Finn liked the shirt so much, he didnt
want to take it off. Next up, simple pants and a biker hat. Getting
Finn outfitted for easter!

Bluebeard Coffee

Annie and Kevin have asked me to help out and do their chalkboard menu
at the coffee shop they are opening. Look at that beauty waiting for a
little dusty white lettering. I think I am going to use my signature
all CAPS slant and a little cursive. Oh, AND the gluten free cookie
recipe I made up will also be utilized in their case and baked by a
local shop! Look out for the Bluebeard chew. I would divulge the
ingredients, but I dont want to spoil it. You'll just have to taste
for yourself. It does pair well with coffee!

Museum of Flight

Check out these beautiful drafting tables in the old old Boeing
factory barn/hangar. Oh and don't miss the sunlight streaming in. I
feel springy spring under foot.

Playhouse!

Look out Edmonds Skatepark!
