Baby Quilt

Finally, pictures of the quilt top that Mom and I finished a couple of weeks ago. Next is the backing and then the quilting! A close up of the quilt block is first and the full quilt below. The backing will be made out of the dark green material.



Happy New Year!

Almost Christmas!

Well, 6 1/2 months later, I'm adding a new entry to my blog...I'm going to have to get better at this. Here's the udpate:

On the baby front: We are now #5 on our waiting list for our precious little girl! Our homestudy is complete and has been approved. Of course, our social worker is absolutely wonderful - thanks Laurel! The baby quilt quilt-top (that just sounds funny) is complete! I'll take pics tonight and post.

Dave is on a cultural immersion trip for the holiday - he left on 12/18 and will return on 1/4 - Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China. He's supposed to go to the Foster Home office in Beijing and take some pictures/video for our agency - which will be really cool.

Yes, I'm alone for the holidays (well, me and Jessie the wonderdog) - having lunch with the family and my friend Teresa (also alone) on Christmas - Ultimate Buffet here we come!

We didn't do anything exciting over the summer - Dave climbed some mountains and posted a bunch of pics on Facebook. I...made a lot of jewelry in my new style - did a holiday craft show in Nov and sold most of it - and there are a few pics to show for it. I'll try to post some later - as soon as I learn how to post pics of the baby quilt.

Merry Christmas!

Today we found out we are #12 on the waiting list!

Got back from Milwaukee on Sunday - had a great time, but really tired. Very nice to be back home! Not much else going on...

Ok, I've entered the world of blogging...we'll see how this goes :)

I'm at the Bead & Button Show in Milwaukee with my friend Teresa - she is teaching 4 classes - we are almost done with the first one - yippee! And I sold my first necklace kit - yippee twice!!

For those who don't know (in case anyone reads this post), Dave and I are on a waiting list to adopt a little girl from Korea - we started in Nov2008 at #27 and yesterday I got an email from our social worker - we are up to #13!! Very exciting!!

I have nothing else right now, but reading everyone else's blogs has inspired me, so I thought I might as well join in the fun!
