Now how do I undo!

I am about to tear my hair out! I don't have any idea how that purse picture got on top of my post! And nothing I can do will remove it! I just may scream!!!!

I am going to try the picture thing once more tonight, and just see if I can do one right! I will attempt to attach a photo of Amani' quilt. Hope it work this time. Wish me luck!!!




Well, I couldn't make it work the way that I thought I could. I need to do this earlier in the day. Working on it late at night is too much for this lady! I need to be fresh and alert! Ya, right!

Picasa Web Albums - Judith - pink,brown,teal purse

Busy in the sewing room!

I have been keeping my sewing room busy and in a continual mess. Just when I think that I will quit for a while, another inspiration strikes and off I go!

I just recently started making scrap purses! I am trying to use many of the scraps that I have been collecting :-) for many years. I think if I were to use all of them I could fill a decent size store! However they take much too long to make that many and so I will do just the ones that I can enjoy making.







This one was made from the scraps
left from a baby quilt for our next
grandaughter, Jadelyn Elizabeth
Wallin who is due to be born on
Feb. 4, 2009.

IF I can figure it out, I will add a pic
of the quilt below this purse picture.I
have been struggling with getting
this program to put the pictures where
I want them.

The Kibwaa family 2008



Sam, Joy, Tabitha 3 1/2, Elijah 19 months, Amani 1 month

Happy New Year

Well, here it is, 2009 already and time is flying by. There was so much I wanted to get accomplished in 2008! Now I can add it to the list for 2009!

We have much to be thankful for this new year, we have a new baby, Amani Grace and one more, Jadelyn due to be born in February. The Boys vs Girls score for the Wallin half of the family might just even out soon. With Jadelyns birth it will be four boys, three girls! Tabitha won't be so outnumbered any more! And who knows what the future will hold!!!

As the temps here in Northern MN dip into the -20's we are really missing places like Orlando and Key West! When I see the Florida pictures scroll by in my screen saver I can almost smell the sea air and feel the breezes in my hair, instead of the frigid winds freezing my face, ears and fingers! We have also had plenty of snow. As I write this we are in the Pequot area at Joy and Sam's. Nichole called from Warroad and when we got about 3 inches here, at the house in Salol there was more than a foot and the winds have been a howlin'! I'm afraid the snow blower is completely covered up and we will have to search out a shovel before we can clear the drive way.

Sam flew to LA to help Janet and the boys drive up here for the holidays. Now he has just left LA again to fly back home after driving with them back to their house. That is a lot of miles!!! Then they will be heading to spend a little time with his family in Canada! From North to South to North to South to North and even further North! His traveling gene should be satisfied for a week or so! :-)

Rick and I are hoping that you and yours are all doing well and are enjoying your winter wherever you may roam!
