Cool Sheep Video

I've alway thought it would be fun to have sheep.....

Quilts!

Here are some pictures of the quilts that Brianna and I made last year. We worked on them off and on all year and finally finished around the first of December. We also made one for my grandfather in December, but we didn't get any pictures of it. :-(

     

 The one on the left is Brianna's, and mine is on the right.

I'm so excited about the way they turned out! We're trying to decide on what kind of quilt to do next. I'm leaning towards a lap quilt, but there is a fabric collection at Hancock's that is screaming at me to make into a baby girl quilt....Hmmm.....

 Brianna hand quilted dragonflies on hers, and I did swirls on mine.

Edelweiss Patterns

I wanted to share with y'all a new pattern company I found~ Edelweiss Patterns. It looks like it will be a wonderful resource. The patterns are inspired by the movie The Sound of Music. Lisel's Dancing Dress is the first one that has been released. Check it out! 

Happy New Year!!!

The End of 2010

Wow. It's just about over. In a way, it seems like a long year. On the other hand, time seems to fly. We have been blessed this year~ we have met new friends, strengthened friendships with old ones, and have had some exciting opportunities. The "exciting opportunities" are all very diverse~ unique in their own way.
They include being involved in our local farmers market selling gift items, going to Vision Forum's Baby Conference, having my grandmother move up here close to us, going to a boot and saddle show in TX, learning how to butcher a goat, trying to tan a goat hide, creating a new laundry system, and finally, the launch of my dad's new business Answer Soft.
There are probably more things, they just have slipped my mind at this moment :-)  I hope everyone had a wonderful year~

BTW~ I'm looking for a good Bible reading plan for 2011. Any suggestions? I love being able to interact with y'all now~ this is great.

~Howdy

Hello! So much has gone on since I last posted~ I don't know were to begin. Lets just say we have been busy with various projects (rather interesting ones if you ask me!), fellowshipping with dear friends (new and old), enjoying having our grandmother living close,  dreaming big dreams and putting them into action, and wondering when I will have time to collect my thoughts to write a blog post. I realized the only time I blog is when I'm sick :-( Blogging seems like a good way to rest- and that's usually when I have the most time to think. So, if you would pray that Brianna, Michael, and I will get well soon, we'd be very grateful.

We have stopped taking piano, but we are continuing to learn on our own. There is a lady at our church who has graciously agreed to give Brianna and I voice lessons. That is something I have wanted to do for a long time, and I'm excited about this opportunity.

I hope to give more details about the things I mentioned at the first of this post sometime. But, for the time being, this will have to do- we are trying to get ready to go on a trip to Texas to visit with family; that brings a lot of work along with it.

Well, if you are reading this blog still, I thank you for not giving up on me~
