Birdy

Sorry, forgot to put the parrot up. (Also part of the zoo installment.)

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.
