• Jan. 22, 2008 - Quilting Progress

Inspite of all the excitment of playing in the snow, Candace and I (with some help from Cassie) managed to put two of the six big blocks together. I never would have picked orange, but I really like the way this looks. I think the red blocks set it off, don't you? It will be a cheerful quilt for sure. The cat faces aren't my own creation. I found them on the web and then drew my own pattern.

I'll keep everyone posted on our progress.

I'll confess that the blue and white quilt came from Walmart. :-(

• Jan. 16, 2008 - New Quilting Project

Posted in Quilting

When my soon to be 13 year old was about 3, I (with help from my mother) made her a quilt. She loves that quilt. It even went with us overseas for two years. Needless to say, that quilt is a little faded. DD 12 wants a new one.

Here are the colors she picked out.

I plan to post updates. Perhaps it will keep me motivated. :-)

I started some embroidery today. (Cat faces) Candace practiced sewing seams.

This is supposed to be OUR project. We shall see.

What DD16 is reading to DD12 and me...

Harry Potter

by J.K. Rowling

I know, I know. There's a ton of controversy surrounding these books. It's all based on heresay unless you've read them. Maybe I'll get brave enough to write my own opinion on the books when we're finished. For now let me say, whether you agree with the books or not, they are quite engaging, interesting, and are great read-a-louds. I'll delete any comments trying to stir up more controversy.

Prince Caspian

by C.S. Lewis

Life-Changing Books

Of course God's Word is the source of all true life changes, but I have encountered several books which have made the "Bible Life" more real to me. I wish to share those with you here.
