Aunt Lindsey's Visit

Aunt Lindsey came to spend a few days with us, and it sure was fun!  We used to get to see her quite often in Alaska, so the kids have especially missed her.  She took us bowling, we went to the park after school, and Mommy got to go hiking with her at Smith Rock.  We also drove around to do some sight-seeing, and spent some time just relaxing and visiting.



Thanks for coming to visit!

Plaid Shirt Quilt

Yesterday I ironed & cut the shirts that I'd disassembled a couple months ago.

Started out with 7 1/2 inch squares.

Then in half for triangles.  I'm thinking a zig-zag quilt again, but with a different type of block/technique.  Before I used strips.

This shirt matched nicely, but when ironing it the fabric was terrible- so going scrap/stash-digging when I work on this again.

All the "leftovers", possibly borders, or another small quilt.  Think I need a few more fabrics, there are 10 shirts so far.



S*P*R*I*N*G

Thanks to craigslist again, we have an even nicer swing than we had in Alaska.

The kids enjoyed the setting up as much as using it now.

Thank you, Daddy! 

A nest we found when cleaning out the flowers.

Looking better, and flowers starting to bloom.  Irrigation water comes this week, so grass should green-up also.

Daddy had a birthday!

Trying out Levi's shoes.

You're pretty cool when you wear an excavator hat.

Fun at the park with Aunt Lindsey.

Snacks for hungry kids; it was a bit breezy, but very sunny.
