Seattle is snowed in but down here in the Willamette Valley we are in a flood. I went out at noon to check a neighbor’s house who is on vacation, and saw that Mill Creek is flooding… Then at 4:00 we thought we’d go take a survey and didn’t have to go far…here’s our corner […]

Friday was sunny and bright so we went to one of my FAVORITE spots before heading to the beach for Cheryl’s birthday weekend, wherein Ashton sang and Cheryl made a wish… and the rest of us just laughed all weekend (have you ever played “Apples to Apples”??), heading home Sunday with snow threatened in the […]

I finished a few 2011 projects like the ugly fabric challenge quilt # 2 and the utopia quilt we hung up the Christmas present lantern from “Santa” took in the bright moonlight (sorry…cellphone photo) reflected in the […]
