Old button collage

I painted these frames and made the button collages a few weeks ago, just thought I would show you.

New pillow for my chair.

Antique crocheted lace and an old button!

Almost 17"

I got out on the streets today, but did not have my camera, what a mess! There is ALOT of snow!!

Play Day!

We are under a state of emergency, the National Guard has been called out and my office is closed! So I have a PLAY DAY! I am going to sew and craft, check back to see what I did.

Blizzard of 2011

New purse

I sort of edited this pattern by quilting the fabric first, adding piping and a stone zipper pull, but isn't it cute!!

This is a slideshow of our trip to Africa

Africa pictures

We will be sharing in church about our trip to Africa on Sunday April 12, as soon as I get all the pics sorted out and put together I will upload a slide show here. Thanks for being patient, I can't wait to share with you all the blessing the Lord allowed us to be a part of!

The daffodils are blooming!

Of course it is going to snow tonight - they are saying 3-5"!!!!

A new 'do' and Louisville

While I was in Africa Nick got his hair buzzed - doesn't he look great!! We are in Louisville for the weekend, we have not seen the kids since December! I think the twins have grown a foot!

Visions of Africa

We left home at 8:00 am on the 19th and 32 hours later arrived in Conakry, Guinea, Africa. We traveled 5 hours by car to Kamsar and then traveled 2 1/2 hours on this long boat to the villages. The first picture is the chief of Binari village, the second picture is just some of the children that followed us everywhere and the third picture is the long boat we traveled in on the Atlantic ocean to arrive at the villages. We were escorted off the long boat into a hollowed out canoe to the shore so we did not have to walk in the water. I will add more photos and more info later. Just wanted you to know we are safe and well, the time was well spent, we arrived in the villages on Monday and left on the boat on Thursday. We left Conakry to fly home on the 27th and arrived home on the 28th.

Gone to Africa!

Here we go - we leave here at 8:00 tomorrow morning, and the trip begins! If you read the itinerary you noticed we will be in Paris for 7 hours on Friday, depending on how it goes, meaning how we deal with the french language, we may hop on a train and do some sightseeing. Pictures to follow! But at 3:10pm Illinois time, on Friday we will land in Africa. We belong to the Lord, we are following His call, in His time, with His purpose - and we are looking forward to the blessings. Many pictures and stories to follow!
