It's a pretty crappy rainy and grey day today. I'm glad I put up my newest print called Dandelion Float. You know those little fuzzy flowers that when you blow on them the seeds just float away? There's not too many around where I live in NYC. Actually not too much flora around here at all but the restaurant a block down has these beautiful cherry blossom trees that look gorgeous with pink flowers in the Spring. I look forward when they bloom because when the wind blows it looks like in those movies where the air is filled with light pink petals.
This is a picture of Washington D.C when the Cherry Blossom Trees are in full bloom. There's an annual festival and right now it's predicted that April would be the best day to see the blossoms. You can click on the picture and it will bring you to the official site of the cherry blossom festival. D.C is about 3 hours away from NYC so I've had the luxury to see this event and I tell you, words cannot describe it.
Anyways I just got back from my first meeting with the NewNewTeam at Etsy labs in Brooklyn. It's definitely hidden and if I hadn't bumped into some people going there I'd probably blow right past it. The people were cool and me being the extremely shy one mostly listened as plans were made to continue the Spring and Summer fleas and shows in NYC. Which reminds me about the Spring Handmade Cavalcade and the last one was a big success! I'm hoping to participate more in the team but between my school work and job and family and friends and boyfriend... I have to schedule things far in advance. I was lucky that I got to meet the team and go to the Etsy. Heck maybe I'll show up for those Monday night craft nights. If you see a tiny girl with big ol glasses or hear a high pitched kiddy voice that would be moi. As if!
Until next time... don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone... =D

Love your picture and those puffs are always blowing all over my yard..but Dandelions are rather pretty and since I am not a good gardener, darn happy to see something bloom..
Sounds like a nice time with your craft friends..good you went.Sometimes, it is very hard for me to leave my zone, but always happy when
I do..amazing what is out there..I think I am more like a recluse and that isn't good.
That dandylion float is so cute!
SO true, we all need to step out of our comfort zones for sure..
I love the new print and really am in awe with those amazing cherry blossoms in DC. Have to put that on my list of things to see.
Have a wonderful week and hope the Sun peaks in.
