Sunnyside Conservatory

We did a little bit of discover SF again this weekend. The Sunnyside Conservatory on Monterey Blvd had been restored a couple of years ago. It used to be pretty dilapidated and just overgrown. It was the kind of place only homeless squatters would frequent. Now's it's become the beautiful neighborhood gathering place for just about anything! I would love to host a luncheon there!


The garden has a few of these whimsical little creatures scattered around and hiding amongst the beautiful and water-friendly new plantings.


Here's Ella running around rocking it in the new Mien Ao Mommy sewed. I think this would be the last one I will ever make. It's too much work and I just am not very good at making patterns from existing clothes...


Always the HAM! CHEESE.

Spring is near

You know spring is upon us whenever daffodils and paper whites arrive at the florist! I love the clean scent of paper whites and they really are a must have for Chinese New Year besides plum blossoms.


We cleaned up the back yard to get the space ready for our new pets. While going through the stack of pots, I found this little surprise!
