the night before the departure...

Twas the night before our departure and all through the room,

there were bags packed a plenty and an ora of doom,

for though we had fun here and wanted to stay,

our life can't be spent completely on play,

we'll leave all our mountains,

we'll leave our wood buildings,

we'll leave our quilt buddies, our yoga and signing,

we'll come back some day,

escaping from work for some play,

so take heart dear friends, the future is bright,

we'll be home in our brown house on Sunday night...

Maya and Jordan's Wedding, March 21, 2010

This is my friend Maya from my Sign Language Course. She married Jordan on Sunday and needed a hairstylist. As someone who also got married on a Sunday, I volunteered my services, knowing that she wasn't able to find another stylist on a coveted day off. The building behind the couple is St Eugene Hotel. Formally a residential school on the St. Mary's Reserve, the building has been transformed into a beautiful hotel, conference centre and casino. It's a gorgeous spot for a wedding.

I'm not bragging here, but I will say that I'm quite proud of this updo. Maya is a beautiful woman so it wasn't hard to make her look fancy for her wedding. Thank you Maya for the oppourtunity to spend some time with you and work with your lovely hair. May you and Jordan have a loving and fun life together.

Birthday Shoes

I wanted to show Angela, Ron and Rian what they bought me for my birthday, so here they are, ORANGE BIRKENSTOCKS!!! Moofut thought they were spectacular and I always weigh in his opinions when making my shopping purchases. Also, not to make you in the frostier regions of the country jealous, but I've been wearing these since March 7th, OUTSIDE! Now, at this time I will admit that I have mostly worn them with ummm socks, shhhhh, but I'm in hippy country. Anywho, Thank you Mom's of mine for the great gift.

Shutter Island parody

If you have seen "Shutter Island", and we highly recommend you see it, then this video will make a lot of sense. If you haven't seen it, better go tonight!

Moofut's first Teeter-Totter ride!

Allan, Dustin's fellow student and Sandy Allan's wife of one week, went to Fort Steele with us, and when we saw the See-Saws, as Allan called them, we couldn't resist! Thanks Allan and Sandy for a great day with us!!!

Disappearing Nine Patch

This is my Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt. I used the scraps from my quilt for Haiti, plus some coordinating fabric. I just finished the top today and thought you might like to see it. Now I just have one more top for a very special occasion, and then my quilting time in Cranbrook will be complete. In two weeks from today, we will be on our way out of the mountains and back to the prairies. Sigh!
