DGD's Birthday Present

I turned the big THREE ZERO on September 13. Mr. K offered to send me away for a "girl's weekend" and that sounded just perfect to me. I made plans to visit my dear friend Sue who had moved to Maryland this summer. She took me to an absolutely, lovely quilt shop in Hagerstown, MD that is run by the nicest Mennonite family. Would you like to see what came home with me?



















Such beautiful fabric! Sue has an excellent sense of color.













These lovely fabrics will turn into this quilt. It's going to be my big project for 2009. I promise to post lots and lots of progress pictures. =)

















God Bless,

Fresh from the Het Schaapje Dye Pot

Do you remember that I used to dye yarn to sell? It's been a REEEEEEEEEEEALLY long time since I've done any ... February to be exact. I've been hashing over and over in my mind what I want to do when Abigail starts Kindergarten next September. Well, I've decided. Het Schaapje is rising from the completely exhausted dye pot and is simmering away. I re-vamped my business plan and have a really strong focus that I think will make my small business very successful. Here are a few pictures of this week's labors:

Hello My Friends =)

I'm enjoying the summer with my Abigail. We made three trips to visit my sister Sarah in New York with each trip lasting almost a week. We made our yearly summer trip to Michigan to visit family and friends. I've been cooking a good bit and Mr. K is loving it. I bought a pressure canner and I did a couple "practice" runs before applesauce season arrives. I started working on knitted Christmas presents. Abigail and I are listening to the Anne of Green Gables series on CD and loving it immensely. Once Abigail starts pre-k (September 10th), I will start blogging more. Thank you for all the kind comments you have left this summer.

God Bless,

ERIN =)
