Meet Tucker!

We got a puppy!!  He is a black lab/weimaraner/golden retriever mix and his name is Tucker.

Life in Walla Walla!

Wow its been a long time.  Lots has happened since my last post.  Lets see... I'm a new Aunt to an adorable baby boy, William was born 8/8/11 at 26 weeks.

He was 2lbs 1oz when he was born, he is now 5lbs 12oz and 18.5 inches long.  He currently resides in the NICU at sacred heart in Eugene.  We're hoping to have him out of the NICU by thanksgiving, around when his due date would have been.

Also... my husband and I have recently moved from the Oregon coast to Walla Walla WA!  I wasn't sure how I would like Walla Walla but I LOVE it!  We are renting a cute little house that is walking distance from downtown.  Lots of shopping and restaurants just minutes away. 

And....

A WONDERFUL QUILT SHOP!!!!  

So life in Walla Walla is pretty sweet!  Potter and Chandler are right at home too

making progress

Well I've been working like crazy to finish my quilt for my 25th birthday.  I got the quilt top done this afternoon and I'm basting it tonight.  If all goes as planned I'll have it quilted and be cuddled up in my new quilt by my birthday this Thursday.

Thought I'd give you a quick update on how its going.  Wish me luck and I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Update

So apparently this has become a "once a month" blog.  I'm gonna try to work on that and be a little more consistent.  Anyway here is an up date of what been going on.  Christmas was SO great.  I love the holidays and spending time with family.  There is no better feeling than giving someone a gift that you know they will love.  I got to experience that feeling this Christmas.  I gave my best friend Hannah the polka-dot quilt!

I also got a darning/free motion quilting foot for Christmas so I've been practicing my free motion quilting almost every night.  It was pretty hard at first but I think I'm getting the hang of it.  Hopefully I'll have it down when it comes time to quilt MY quilt. 

Its a twin size and I've finished about 40% of the quilt top.  I made a promise to myself that I would finish it for my 25th birthday.

I'll try to keep you posted on my progress.
