Self-photo...

Darcie says that I am "never" in my family pictures- well, it is difficult to put yourself in the picture when you are the one taking the picture! I did use the timer on the xmas picture and managed to get myself in there. This one I took at arms length- which can work for one or two people, but with a family of 10- even I don't have arms that long! Gives a whole new meaning to "long-arm quilter." This is my college roommate and dear friend of 22 years. Kelli and I were at Crater Lake, Oregon, this past spring.

I have been quilting, a little. I finished quilting up a full-sized quilt for my Mom. A twisted sister in pink, brown and green. I am lovin' it, and I'd like even more to share a picture... but whose bright idea was it to put the USB port on the backside of the computer? My father would call them "nitwits." I'd have to agree. So I'll pull the thing out and upload a stack of pictures... maybe later. I also quilted up a little table topper. Funny thing about that... I made a quilt for a college graduate, a couple years ago. Made another quilt top from the scraps and still had enough left over to make the table topper!! The blue and green that would never end!! I think I am ready to leave it behind.

Spring Cleaning is in full swing, even if Spring is having second thoughts about appearing. Eva(age9) woke up in the middle of the night with the tummy bug- kinda slows my momentum, I must admit. Forge ahead, for tomorrow... I might be hurling my own cookies.

Cute picture! Sorry to hear your daughter is sick, I'll pray that she feels better and doesn't share it with anyone else!
And I agree with your dad. Nitwits, indeed.
God bless :)

Aw...poor little Eva. Hope you or no one else has bee hurling cookies...or anything else for that matter.

I was so excited to see your picture appear before my eyes!!! You're so pretty, Nina K! Todd and both girls were upstairs when I opened up your blog yesterday in a hurry...on Todd's new 'notebook' (Read: Toy). I hollered "Come quick...it's my Nines!" (Just think of how excited I'll be when you drive up my driveway!!!)

And it's so nice to *meet* your dear friend Kelli! Heavens...it's been nearly a year already, hasn't it!
