I've not had any time for crafting, and what with a move imminent, probably won't for a while. But I thought I'd post some pictures from the window of my craft room just for old time's sake. Soon I'll be bidding goodbye to the familiar scenery of this HUGE craft room and office that everyone knows is my domain.
Here are a few facts about the supposed "spring" we've had here in the northwest. April (4/20/11) facts from local weather guy Bruce Sussman's blog:
- We had 29 of 31 days of measurable rain in March. That includes 23 straight days of rain.
- We didn't hit 60* until March 27, 2011.
- April 14-17 was the third wettest two-day period in April since the Portland Airport began keeping records in 1940: 1.68 inches.
- Portland’s average high is just 54.5 degrees this April. That’s the coldest on record.
- Portland’s had just three days hit 60 this year. That’s the fewest on record for this late in April. In fact, in an average year, we’ve already had 19 days at or above 60 degrees!
- Portland’s overall average temperature this April (so this combines the high and low each day) is just 47 degrees. That’s the fourth coldest on record.

Those Californians who are buying our house and relocated their business here instead of Nevada are going to be in for a real treat!
How's the weather from where you are? What do you see when you look out your window on any given day? Please share!

We're flooded right now. Literally houses at the end of my street are under water. It's a huge mess. We're hoping for a break soon!!
You had left a comment on my blog about a quilt card I made and the quilt with spool is a Cricut cut from Country Life. Hope this helps!
Hugs,
