QUILTING

I really like to create things. I think sewing is a good way for me to do that. I am good at sewing, and if I sit right, it is relaxing. This is my latest project. I start many and finish, well not very many. I have had this fabric for several years. I bought it with the intention of making a quilt for a friends little girl and never started it. So I will make it now. I have found several blogs about quilting and they have given me great inspiration. So yesterday I sat down and started. I had it cut out already which seems to be tricky for me. I can never seem to cut even. I'm hoping practice makes perfect....and a few tools that should help. So for now wish me luck and I will post the finished product.

ADOPTION update.....

Right now things are moving very slow!!!!! We really have to start all over with background checks and physicals. And well, we just haven't made the time. So, please keep praying for us....that we make the time and that the right birth mom comes to us at the right time.....

Follow Him!!!!

The best snow ever


The storm of the century finally came to visit West Michigan. It seems that they are always talking about it coming but then it never does.





Funny thing, my mom moves to Colorado and they have no snow where she is, but here it's a different story! This picture below just cracks me up. This is something that would happen to me.

Watching Wilson out in the drifts was so much fun. The piles of snow outside are bigger then he is. He just bounces around like a gazelle. I had no clue this dog could move like that.
Eli had fun too. I think he would have stayed out there all day, and if I would have let him I think his little hands would have fallen of at the wrists. It didn't seem to bother him that his hand were almost frozen.




(all of these pics I found on wood TV 8....some GR and some not, the snowed IN car was Chicago, poor person)
