| Last night, Hensie finished this skirt which she's been working on (by hand!) for a couple months. (I couldn't figure out how to crop this picture...) |

| In the mirror. =) |

New skirt!
Going Through My Old Hope Chest....
 |
| ...I found this Colonial doll dress I had sewn by hand several years ago. |
 |
| The back. |
 |
| Without the cape. |
 |
| Off-set rose buttons. I thought they were cute. =) |
 |
| Up close on the front. |
What fun projects did you do when you were younger?

The New-ies
I considered titling this post "The News" but that wouldn't work. I'd have you all thinking that I was going to announce something big (like perhaps the reason for my absence from the internet world. The reason? Well, um, busy-ness. Guests. Nieces. Reading. Dishes. Aerobics. House-cleaning. Going through our crocheting stuff, sewing stuff, and hope chests. Baking bread and cookies. CH Chorlae music. Life.).
 |
| Anyway, on with the post. Daddy bought a new family computer since the old one was getting on in years and was slowing down with all the stuff we had on it. Once he unloaded all the stuff, he gave it to me for writing. It fits great(ly? didn't want to say perfectly) on the desk, though it kicks the mirror out of business. (No need to worry, though. We've got three other mirrors in our room and two more in the next, and still another in the next room, so we can still see ourselves. =P) |
 |
| When we were up in Lynden, Hannah McD. and Krista gave me this quilt for a late Christmas gift! I love it!! (Thank you bunches, girls!! Did I tell you that green is my new favorite color? =) I think it goes nicely with the dark-wood bed. (Notice that adorable little dog by the pillow - his name is Lavey-Rob. Stop laughing. He's stuffed with fluff and lavender - Lavey - and Matthew said he looked like Rob.) |
 |
| Krissy also gave me this plaque. I love it, Kris!! =) |
 |
| When Grandma and Grandpa were here last week, they brought Aunt Diane's old hope chest for one of us girls. Hensie was the next in line, so she got it! =) |
 |
| Filled with her favorite books! =) |

Goings On
On Saturday, we girls (with Sar and the babies) went to Sarah's Stelzer's bridal shower.
Sunday, we played volleyball, ate cookies, read books, and practiced our CH choral music.
Today, really clean the house.
Tomorrow, shopping.
Wednesday, Grandma and Grandpa are coming!
Friday, G&G leave, Good Friday service at church, Sarah and the girls will spend the weekend with us while Stephen is away hiking.
And Jon and Kelsie, Betty and (hopefully!) Phil will be coming either this weekend or the next.
Next weekend, the other Oregon Crisses - cousin Russ and Debi and family and cousin Andy and Dorothy and family - will be coming for the weekend.
And, in three weeks, we'll be leaving for Lynden.
Then, the conference! =)
