Yarn Bomb Sighting

Submitted by one of my favorite peeps, thanks HVK. On N Albina and Prescott. I love me a good yarn bomb!  Keep sending 'em if you see them. 

Yarn Bomb Pumpkins?

I love this time of year but I can't say that I love carving pumpkins.  Its so slimy and messy.  I'm always open to alternative pumpkin decorating ideas....I sorta love this one....

You know I love a good yarn bomb.

Bombs Away

Finally, I spotted a yarn bomb.  I've always wanted to stumble upon one...this lovely was in Sellwood.

The bike rack was cool and all....but I'm hoping to wander upon a bus like this one...and then I would hop on...

...and drive past this tree...

..and then ask the yarn bus to stop so I could ring a mate

PS - June 11 is International Yarn Bombing Day...get your knit on yo...who ya gonna bomb?

Yarn Bomb Spotting

Someone way too cool to read this mommy blog (i'm flattered he does) sent me this fab find. Yarn bombs make me smile.

Bombed Post Love

Today I made a new friend, her name is Dawn and she made my day by sending me this photo! 

What is it you ask?  Hello!  It is a yarn bombed poetry post! 

Someone please run over to NE 9th and Knott and chain a toy horse to this situation for a true Portland art trifecta. 

Vianden

After saying (sad) goodbyes to our cousins, we drove to Vianden for lunch and a castle tour.  I hadn't been here in nearly 25 years, it was lovely to return.

Spotted this sweet yarn bomb down the hill from the castle.  

Pink Run

It felt like I was wearing rose colored glasses on my morning run yesterday.  From the sky, to the yarn bomb, to the cars, to the bikes...everything seemed to be shades of pink.   A lovely way to start the day.

PDXcellent

Two awesome pdxisms spotted today. A yarn bomb on Hawthorne, and an urban chicken on NW 26 in my rear view mirror as I parallel parked.

Yarn Bomb Spotted

One of my favorite peeps spotted and shared this yarnbombed bikerack. I love it. If you spot one, or do one, share!

Run With Me: PDX

The weird, the sad, and the gorgeous...all in a sunny loop around town!

This boat situation was pretty nuts. 

You know I love a good yarn bomb, this sweetie was right by the highway

Call me

Below is a shocking and sad reality of our homeless/street population. Yuck. I was not happy to see this on my gorgeous loop. The homeless epidemic in Portland is not normal, it is awful and seems to be getting worse not better. Even if you try to run from it, you end up running right through it. I need to find a way to get involved. It is bad. 

Tough to see in this photo (below) but Mt. Saint Helens was out in all her glory today.

These fishermen didn't seem to mind the advisory...

My favorite bike lane in all of PDX...the headless horseman rides up Terwilliger

Olympic Yarn in North Yorkshire

Waking up to a message in my inbox alerting me of this epic Olympic themed yarn bombing was pretty awesome. Thank you DB for being part of the global PortlandSunshine bomb squad!   What a fun way to get in the spirit.  London 2012!
