spring planting (finally)

beautiful sunny Seattle day

There wasn't a cloud in the sky.


It's been so chilly that many of the trees were still pretty bare.


A closer look at the trunk showed plenty of green.


Things were very green, and warm, in the PSC butterfly house.


We checked out the new Star Wars exhibit, of course. I'll leave you with a few images. And yes, I am sporting a Star Wars t-shirt. Cause I'm that kind of nerd. =)

settling in, one room at a time

We moved a little over a week ago, and are getting settled in. It's quite overwhelming to pack up everything you own. It's even more overwhelming to unpack into a new space. Since I've had this week off from work I've been slowly going through boxes, deciding where to put things and how to best organize. Besides the necessities (where are my socks?!), I've found that making a space my own, complete with pictures on the walls, really helps me feel grounded.

I've been working on the kitchen space.







Not yet finished, but definitely coming along.
And those spice jars all lined up on their shelves? They make me smile.
