A Day at the Zoo...continued

Here are some more pictures, as it seems I can only put so many in one post.

A Day at the Zoo

I went to the zoo on Saturday with two girls from my youth group. I had a blast, my favorite animal was the polar bear, he was just so playful. There was also a cute little baby elephant. And we got to watch a show where they had the birds (eagle, owl, two hawks, and vulture) fly over the audience. After the zoo we went to the rose garden for a walk.

To Satisfy My Mother's Curiosity

I have been getting some not so subtle hints lately that I should post something on my blog. And my mother is curious about a quilt I have been working on and telling her about for several months. So, here are some pictures of that quilt, along with some other projects I have been working on lately.

SHE'S HERE!!!!!!!!

My new niece, Keziah Anne Charlick arrived at 10:38 pm October 29, 2008. She is 7 lb, 10 1/2 oz, and 22 in long. She is absolutely beautiful!!!

One down, ? to go

Here is the baby blanket that I made for Lindsey at work. She is due in about 5 weeks. She told me, boy or girl- it will be a Oregon Ducks fan (football), thus the green and yellow colors. And yes, I know that the team colors are much bolder, but I wanted to do it in baby colors. (The pattern had tassels on it, but I don't care for tassels, and especially not on baby blankets.) Now, if I can just get Becky's baby blanket done in time...

Feeling Adventursome

First things first, it is important for me to say that I never really figured out/got the hang of oil pastels. And every once in a great while I pull them out again just to see if I can make them do what I want. That said, this isn't really what I had in mind, but I decided that I liked it anyway. This is probably the most successful attempt I have ever made with oil pastels. (And it only required some very mild photo editing to disguise the fact that I still haven't figured out how to keep the page clean with these suckers. That and I forgot to sign it before photographing, oops.) If any other blatant errors are seen, I will chalk it up to the fact that this was done between 4-7am.

See, I did finish something

Ok,so its not really finished yet. But the top is put together. You can't see much of the border, except on the bottom, but it looks like that all the way around.
