Few other shots

Sheradia was reading her book for a project. Scooter was practicing a song. Both cute!

Things I did complete

The first is my friend Rachel with her Wizard of OZ quilt she designed a couple months ago for a challenge for the quilt store. She had a fun doing it and won! The other is another batik quilt I made at retreat to give away as well. Then our project while there was this quilting bag. I didn't want to do it the way everyone else was so made up this little charm sort of block pattern. It is for putting all your cutting mats and rulers in to take with you to retreats or a friends house. The back side is ironing board material so you can iron your pieces right on it. Very cute if I do say so myself. Love the fabric. It is so my style!

Quilt Retreat

I went on a quilt retreat this last weekend. 4 days 3 nights just sewing. We had a blast though I didn't get as much done as I had hoped. To much time talking, sabotaging others machines and eating. Great time! Here is a picture of our table. A couple of friends being goofy. My very good friend being silly with the sticker that came on our coffee. And my station being sabotaged by someone else. The bobben case was taped closed, I was unplugged and my thread was cut and as you can see I was taped up pretty good.

Old Projects

This was my first quilt. I made it for Zephy. It as a mystery quilt class I took with some friends a number of years ago. I had someone else quilt it for me. You can see in the one photo the cute flowers that were quilted on. The last one is a newer quilt top I made with batiks. I had fun making this and think I will give it for Christmas next year.

Poor Puppy

Emma came in yesterday after about 20 minutes outside. I didn't notice for a while but her hind legs hand wounds. I took her to the vet as she needed stitches. We think it was coyotes. Poor pup. She is lucky that is all they did to her.

ping pong and video games

Fish in the water

Racquestball

Here is Scooter and I playing with the girls or at least teaching them how to hit the ball.

at the Codo

My parents have a condo time share in Idaho. They called to say they wouldn't be using it over the weekend as Dad needed to work So we got to put it to good use. We would go swimming twice a day. Go back to the apartment and play games or watch movies and eat or go for a walk. One day we had a racquetball game and the other we played basketball and table tennis. Tons of fun. Always great memories there.

Zephy gets a turn on the Wii

Again its sideways. Sorry!

The Wii

We got a Wii for Christmas. Its been fun! Here is Scooter with a sideways camera shot (sorry about that) of him boxing.

Scooters new style

As you noticed in the previous posts Scooter has been growing a beard. We nick named him Grizzly Addams for that. Then for a sort of joke he shaved part of it off. Now he looks like this and we call him the Confederate General.

More of Christmas

Scooter and Sheradia sporting Scooters new winter gear from New Zealand. Zephy sporting her new NZ gear. And Sheradia in her new outfit on the deck. You can see how much snow we had by Christmas by looking at the patio table.

Christmas morning

A few shots on Christmas morning. Sheradia with her stocking. Sheradia and I with a shell necklace she made for me (you can't really see it with the glare) and mom behind us. Zephy with the pillow Sheradia made for her. And Sheradia and Zephy with a sign and card Zephy made for her. All priceless!

More of Scooters Work

First is the back side of the spa building. Next is how it looks as you come down the drive. Garage to the right, house in the middle, spa building to the left and shop is behind spa out of sight. And last is the infamous out house next to the front entrance to the spa building

Angels and Scooters work

Sheradia and Zephy as angels in the church Christmas Program. Then the buildings Scooter has been working on. The first is the garage next to what was suppose to be the guest house but the client likes it so much he is moving into it. Then the front door to the guest house. The two last pillars there will have hurricane glass on them that will have fire in it. And the BMW shop with office and library above.

Winter at our house

Here are two of a kind. Zephy and Emma. Then a shot from the end of our driveway I took on a lovely winter walk. And the girls at their favorite winter sport. Being towed up and down the road on the sleds.
