craft friday
well, Friday came and went...I had a nice time and nice time with friends...so I'll keep doing this.! Here's what I got accomplished....
Cut the fabric for the purse pattern I got back in October at Pacific International quilt festival... (maybe next month I can actually sew it)
Beaded a pair of earrings and started a bracelet..
put together 2 disappearing 4 patches to see if I liked it. Liked the material, not so crazy about the disappearing 4 patch. Like the 9 patch better...

catching up...
a couple of weeks since the last post, so I'll quickly go thru some highlights....
Added a chair rail (for a really tall chair!) and painted the family room.
Family room has 20 ft ceiling, and we thought this might bring the room down to a more manageable size.
We were able to help our great and dear friend Jose, who so graciously offered his expertise! He did an awesome job!
the 2 younger boys went ice skating with school and had a wiener/marshmallow roast in the fireplace. they had such a great time, they even made some for granny and me..
did you notice that I moved the piano into the family room? The entertainment hole that was built into the house is just the right size for the piano. Now we can call the family room the conservatory!
in between basketball practice, quilting, school, and all the other running around we do, Caleb tried out for competitive soccer. He had two days of tryouts in the rain last week. After it was over, he was pretty sure he wasn't going to make the cut. (you have to be asked to be on the team - and there were 26 boys vie ing for the 16 spots). His attitude was good, however. He tried his best and was ready to accept that he didn't make the team. Sunday night we got a call that will change his life forever (what drama). They asked him to play on the team. Was that boy excited or what!!! Should have gotten a picture of his HUGE smile, that didn't go away for quite a few hours. Practice starts in march, and the season goes thru Dec. Wow!
Finally, last night Aaron decided to make bagels. He has made pizza dough before, so he can work with yeast. Anyway....they turned out great!
I'm sure he will make them again.!
oh, yeah, Caleb also made a tornado in a bottle!
Pretty cool!
i'll try and get some quilts on here soon.
bye
