Gifts From Nepal

Here is a photo of Jordyn wearing her new t-shirt and wrapped in prayer flags from Nepal. If you read my last blog, you learned of our friend Jon's adventures over there. Its a wonderful site, so be sure to check it out! He was kind enough to bring back these goodies for Jordyn, and as you can see....she loves them! Thanks Jon!!!
Its a gorgeous day up here in the mountains...but then again, when isnt it! :) I went down to the city for a few days and had a wonderful time with family and friends! It was my cousins birthday, so we gathered for food, drink and socializing! Its always good to get away for a few days, but a few days is about my limit in the city...then i am ready to come back home. The peaceful sounds of nature are what my mind and body crave....I love it up here! Of course Jordyn loves visiting with folks too...she is quite the social butterfly...but after a few days she definately misses her daddy. So, after some fun with the fam...dining at the armadillo and ordering chinese take-out...shopping sprees at the fabric and craft stores....it was time to venture back home! So here we are...Jordyn rocking away in her swing napping, and me, kicking my feet up with a good book and pondering my next project!
What was your weekend like?

Tales from Tibet

Hi again....ive been enjoying following along with my friend Jon's adventures in Katmandu and Tibet....he's a techno geek, so naturally he's been sending phone messages to his podcast site.......lotsa fun! Check it out if you get a chance...... tibet2007.therestofeverest.com/
He's been working on a film of Everest, and now he's back over there doing more research, etc....He's already had some interesting mishaps...but continues to travel forward!   Good Luck Jon.......and be safe :)

Crisp Spring Morning ~

Another beautiful day up here in the canyon! Its a toasty 19 degrees right now, and justin, jordyn and i are curled up in front of the fire....complete with sweatpants, slippers, and a warm drink. Winnie the Pooh is dancing across the screen in search of a Heffalump with his 100 acre wood buddies, and im about to start working on another quilt. I am participating in a block exchange....20 women make 20 quilt squares, and then mail them out to one another....we each end up with 20 different squares to make a quilt with. Women from all over the globe are participating, so its quite fun! This particular block is made with asian fabrics and the pattern makes a paper lantern....very pretty indeed! I look forward to going to the mailbox each day to see if any new blocks have arrived.....so far i have only rcvd one, but the deadline is May 1st, so there is still lots of time left! I may even get around to those neglected christmas gifts i never finished :) I love days like today!!! What projects are you working on?
