alaska fall

This is just a little taste of our fall in Alaska. The photo does not do the colors justice at all, but it is a rainy day and it was taken at 8 in the morning. It is getting pretty cold and dark again, but the colors and the fresh air are amazing.

what a weekend

This past weekend was pretty fun and I got a lot done. On saturday I worked on some sewing projects and Mr. Davy decided to "help" me. well, he looks more like a keg with four little paws.







On sunday Amy invited me to go to Bird creek and do some scarf dying. A lady that has a cbin in the woods does it for groups and she had seven different organic dyes there. It was so much fun and all the scarfs came out really nice and different.



And on monday my lovely husband surprised me with a german dinner. Haaaaa

the first quilt block from class

On thursday in class we were able to put the first block together. it was the first time that we could see all the colors arranged together. It was really fun. My quilt is going to be very colorful and ,ost of the ladies there were not sure about the brightness and combination, but when they saw the block.... they were surprised how much they liked it. so here it is.

my new classroom

here is my new classroom. there isn't much to explain i don't think - except the sign for englisch and german. that is to give the kids a visual of what language is to be spoken. the love to be the one to switch it around.

broken car window

so... here are a couple of pics from when they broke into my car and smashed the window.

state fair animals and Davy

We went to the Alaska State Fair a couple of days ago and enjoyed the exhibits they had there. There were lots of farm animals and plants, they also had a quilt exhibition, which I really liked. They had some quilts there that took four years to make. WOW.
Here are pics of an Alpaca (with an under bite) , I baby goat with a sweater and Mr. Davy being all dreamy and sleepy

sewing, sewing, sewing

I had my first quilting class yesterday. Brook and I decided to take a beginner one "from start to finish" and I already learned a lot.
Nick was also so kind to go table shopping with me this weekend. I wanted a sewing, computer table so I can have my sewing stuff all in one place and dont have to move it all the time. Look how amazing it is. I am so excited and ready to get some sewing done. I already worked with the new set up and it is super cool. Here are some pics, building the table IKEA style.
