My new hobby!

Here is the results of my 1st lap quilt that my friend Cindy coached me through. It is a pattern call yellow brick road and I made it to match my living room colors. Being my first I didn't want to give it away encase it turned out real bad or ugly. Well I guess it turned out ok and it's snuggly not ugly! I like to be warm so it's a perfect match!





This here is my 2nd quilt, done in red, white and blue...I'll share more about this one later and who it will be going too. It was a bit more challenging but I'm happy with the way it turned out...now I'm going to take a bit of a break and then start my next one in June some time. Each of the kids will be getting one so they will be wedding and Christmas and Birthday gifts for this coming season.

OK...so it's now April!

Yes I know it's April and I have not updated this site for over a month. So I'll share with you some pictures from Spring break when I went down to Ocean Springs, Mississippi with a group of IntoEdventure international students to do some relief work. It was warm, lots of hard work, way to much driving but a lot of fun too!
We left our mark on the wall of Camp Victor

DI team

Thought it was about time I updated. This is what has been taking up most of my time the last 2 months. Here is my DI team from T.J. Walker. They placed 2nd and now will be going on to State competition. So we have some more work ahead of us!

Brrrrrrrrr

Yes it's a bit chilly here, today is better. I think we may be in the plus today. Sunday it was -24 with the wind chill. We were cooler that Alaska and Russia. That's Wisconsin, and I get to live here!
OK, so congratulations to the New York Giants...it was a very interesting game with all the turn overs but in the end they made less mistakes and had a better game. You just can't go to that place of would have, should have, could have...or it will drive you crazy.
We also have about 5 more inches of snow....ahhhhhhhhhhhh. My arms are getting sore from all the shoveling!

Back the Pack!!

Here we are at work, all in our Packer wear, with fingers crossed for a sucessful playoff win against the Seahawks.

Fairyland

This was the view I woke up to this morning. We went from no snow to 2" of slush on Tue. to total melt down to this in 3 days. It sure is beautiful!

Winter wonderland

Yes, we had a bit of snow over the holidays and this is Anders' little car covered. Tomorrow it is said to hit the 40's here so goodbye snow. Yesterday I saw Anders and Victoria off on their flight to Texas...they arrived safely without any delays. Janna is in Canada, right now visiting friends and is due back tomorrow...there is suppose to be fog so I hope there are no plane delays. I love the much needed brake from my busy life but now it is also good to get back to a schedule again. Hope your time with family and friends was precious.
