New Friends

Olivia and Lexi at Marietta Ward Primary:
We talk every week and have become friends. Today Olivia told me that I taught her Dad in Primary in Parkersburg; and I did! (David Morris)

Sewing Room-River House

Quilt books & giant closet:
Sewing area with white cabinet (just visible) for notions:
Unpacking/sorting my goal of 10 boxes a day, Jason wonders if I'll have it all done by the end of my lifetime! The sewing room is fixed up, though, as my projects can't wait. This is actually a mud room area but it works great for my needs--out of the way but convenient. Thanks to Pattie for the idea.

Julia's Pretty in Pink

Saturday, June 27, 2009

Julia said she felt like a princess in the sundress & hat I made for her. The weather here has been in the 80's so it's perfect for this time of year. Amy told her she could wear it tomorrow but she wanted to wear it today!

Aquatic Center Fun

While Mary was here, we took Stephen & Hailey to the water park. What fun! Stephen went down the big slide but Mary & I wimped out. Hailey's favorite was the pirate ship.

It's easy to see where I get my love of nature and beauty being on top of a hilltop in West Virginia meeting with family. There were 16 in the original clan, 2 of the sisters are still living with lots of aunts, uncles and cousins.
