one more time

I abosolutely love this photo of S and V. I am going to print it out at least 5 x 7.
Very nice pic of M and S. I just wish I had a really nice pic of M, S and V together, but somebody has to take the picture :-)
V absolutely loved the kitty quilt I made for her. I really need to make her a queen size for her bed, but I loved this quilt and the fabrics in it. Just a snuggle quilt. It is flannel so she will probably sleep on top of it rather than under it cause it is so warm on Kauai.
I asked M and S what kind of quilt they would like as wedding gift. S didn't care, said anything would be great. M is a bit more specific. The design is up to me but the entire quilt, including back has to be made completely of my hand dyes. I have a top in mind and will dye the fabrics especially for the purpose. After a couple of dye classes I can order some bolts of PFD mercerized bleached cotton and start dyeing. This will be fun!!!!
The lamp in my thermofax has burned out...whahhhhh....$85 just for the bulb. Will have to figure how to put in. Made some screens using my print goco which uses old fashion flash bulbs. We went thru 2 1/2 paks and then found out they are $29.95 per pak to replace. Boy! I hope those screens work out. I tore away the cardboard and put the screens in the small thermofax frames so they would be reuseable. Need to make some fabric paint and try them out. I would prefer using the thermofax for classes.
The birds disappeared when it snowed but they are back full force emptying the feeders as fast as we can fill them. My favs are the robins and the rare northern flicker that visits our yard. I just love the varity of birds here. So many.............

I have no idea what the technical part of your post says. Bulbs and thermofaxes? But I like the purty pikshurs....

Grayson and Angela graduated and are coming back to Kauai tomorrow! We'll probably have the wedding this summer here. (Did you know they finally got engaged?) They'll move to Tempe, AZ in August for grad school for Grayson. I can't wait to see them!

PS You do know that you were responsible for introducing them when they were four, remember?
