Matching!

Elsie is my 2 year old sister, who sleeps with me. While at my grandparents last week, I missed her dreadfully! Each time I talked to her on the phone, she'd say "Ali, I want you!! I want to hold you! (me hold her)". When my Gramma and I were shopping she bought me some material for a new skirt. After making it, I had enough extra to make one for Elsie too!! Here are some pictures:

Sewing!!

Last week (Monday the 5th through Saturday the 10th) my sister Grace and I went up to my Grampa and Gramma Klahn's house. A couple years ago Ike and Emmy had gone up by them, and then a few months later Zack and Aleks had. So finally Grace and I got to go!

While up there, my Gramma and I made a quilt and matching curtains to go in my room (which I painted last fall). Here are some pictures:

After buying the material, the first thing to do is cut the squares!

Then, we laid out the squares to figure out what looked best.

Then comes my favorite part - sewing!! We had two sewing machines, so it went REALLY fast!!

Here is the front half of the quilt.

On the quilting board, ready to tie!(this picture was taken from the loft)

Thank you so much Gramma, for helping me make the quilt and for the material (quilt, curtains and skirt). Maybe we can do it again sometime!!

The quilt turned out sooo nice!! I absolutely love it. It's so cozy and fluffy!! Hopefully soon I'll take some pictures of the quilt and curtains in my room and put them up here.

For more pictures of the trip, visit our family blog.

New blog!!

Our family has a new blog! My Mom actually set it up several months ago, but never posted anything. I am going to be responsible for keeping it up to date, so forgive me if this blog is ever neglected (which I hope won't happen!).

To view the new blog, click here.

And like I said on the other blog, my sister Grace and I are going to be gone for a little over a week spending time with our Grandparents in Northern Wisconsin (brrrr, it'll be cold!!). So I won't be blogging on here for a while, but hope to have plenty of pictures to share when I get back!!

Proverbs 2:3-6

3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge,

and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4 If thou seekest her as silver,
and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord,
and find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom:
out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
