Sirens of the Sea

I finished Just Nan's "Sirens of the Sea" last night. I have been away from my blog for awhile.

Alot of stuff has happen here lately. I moved back to Anchorage, Alaska and I'm back working up here on the same project. Hopefully, this time it will be longer than last time.

I have been busy also learning how to Quilt. I finished my first Quilt a few weeks ago. Now,

am addicted to quilting. I have been to every quilt store in Anchorage and Eagle River. I'm meeting with a lady on Saturday to do my quilting on my second quilt that I finished.

It is really fun to learn something new. I have a small wall hanging that I'm going to do this weekend so I can learn how to applique.

Well let me get to work.

New Baby has arrive!

I have a new Great Nephew. He weighs a whopping 9lbs 11 ozs and his name is Emil Joseph.
He is beautiful. My niece said it was a piece of cake delivering him, but she couldn't get over how big he is. He will be welcome by his big brother Dalton Vance. Dalton didn't want to leave the hospital last night, he wanted to stay with his new baby brother. Dalton is so cute with him.
I think they will be able to come home today sometime. This makes 4 grandchildren for my Sister, 2 boys and 2 girls, she is so excited. I need to find something to stitch about grandchildren. Well thats it for now!
