One Cozy Quilt - Check!

My friend Sarah 'commissioned' this queen size quilt a couple months ago.  It's the first I've ever made of its size.  Well Sarah, it's complete and I'm having trouble letting go.  I would be a terrible surrogate.  Your invoice may include one glass of white wine with ice upon delivery.

Portland Power

I brought the kids down here for a weekend of visiting my family and for some reason felt a real tourist this time around.  North Portland is morphing, and I really really liked what I saw.

 Spielwerk Toys on Williams

Lodekka Double Decker Dress Shop on Williams

 Lucy on the "Upper Deck" 


 Flavour Waffle Cart on Lombard

 The Sausage and Maple Syrup Waffle

The Strawberries and Cream Waffle
One of many really cool shopfronts.  I've found new hunting ground.

More Cousins

More new cousins and second cousins keep cropping up all the time around here.  We love it!  I am so thankful for all my cousins and love seeing my kids interact with their kids and watch all the funny little similarities between them.  Keep 'em coming gang!
