Marnie has reached the age to have her ears pierced. We took her to Claire's and she chose her earrings. She was a great patient.

The Pink Bathroom
It's time to remodel the pink bathroom. We've got a pink sink, pink toilet and pink bathtub to replace. This means we are at Home Depot a lot.

Chamber Choir
The St. Cecilia Chamber Choir performance happens every year as a fund raiser. Since it's early in the school year, many of these songs are new to the choir. Some members are new as well. The acoustics of the chapel are lovely and it is always a delight to see. I perform with the Women's Choir and sometimes a song or two for Chamber.

Vintage Spin
One of my favorite patterns by Kathy Doughty is Vintage Spin. Most quilts I resist making more than once. But this one is intoxicating. The crazier the fabric, the better.

Studio C
The whole family is enjoying Education Week at BYU. While wandering on the north part of campus, I ran into the Studio C offices and stage. Katie loved them when they were Divine Comedy, and I love watching them now.

Wild Waves
We spent a fantastic day at Wild Waves. I love the opportunity to swim all day. The slides and rides were a blast. But it is exhausting and when we were driving home I decided I was famished too. We stopped by Cafe Rio and refueled. Lynnwood is where our old home is so I know the area well, and there was still another hour to get home on Camano Island. Pork Barbacoa Ensalada for me!

Honeysuckle and Wisteria
I haven't discovered the reason for my love of invasive plants. There is something enthusiastic about them. No stopping. Wrapping their tendrils around whatever is closest. When I was a child, my mom planted a wisteria beneath our deck and I remember the incredible fragrance. I had to do the same.

SLC HMQS
Another quilt show? Well, yes. This one is for machine quilters, so it's up my alley. I apologize that many of these pictures aren't full size. I was interested in the quilting designs used. I enjoyed a class with Claudia Pfeil from Germany. We had a longarm for each of us during class and she brought Swiss chocolate to keep us happy. She won a blue ribbon as well for this quilt.

Handkerchief Corners
I was quite impressed with a client quilt that I was working on this week. It's a Kaffe Fassett quilt named Handkerchief Corners. Using Kaffe Wovens, you match stripes and sew Y-seams. This is incredibly difficult, yet these are all done perfectly. Well done!

Swimming at Wenberg
We love to head over to Wenberg County Park to swim. The water is warmer and there are picnic benches and grass. Lake Goodwin is quite large and back in the day we've ridden boats here, but the swimming area is safely roped off. On this day we had the whole park to ourselves. Mostly because I told the kids we were skipping school to enjoy the sun.

Calvin Leaves for College
It's time for Calvin to return to Rexburg for the next term. It's been fun having him here during the break. Safe travels!
