Hah! Guess what?

I found our camera. I had looked under the bed about ten times, but I guess I didn't realize that I couldn't see all the way over to Jeff's side under there. I am so elated to finally have a camera again-- we lost it after Thanksgiving. I swore that it was somewhere in the house, but I was beginning to lose hope. I'll put up a silly picture of Amelia that was on it still.


I think I'll also show you my latest project. H. Shack should be particularly interested in this one, since she encouraged me to do it about three years ago! I have an old Danish modern style chair from Uncle Elmer's. I had actually covered the gross plastic cushions with material and scotch tape and a couple of thumb tacks (!) for the past few years. It's kind of embarassing. Anyway, I FINALLY bought new foam and some materials to upholster them with, and it is amazing how much better that chair looks. I was walking past it just now to find some place to sit, and I stopped and went back to it-- I hadn't really thought of it as an actual functional chair! I snapped a smug picture of myself enjoying my handiwork (with hot chocolate from Filipino pure cacao!)



More pictures DEFINITELY to come!!!

Glad you found your camera and glad that returned home from a productive trip. I am really excited for you guys!
And yes, I think you all could pass for a northwerstern family. If you really want to be convincing, though, Jeff needs to grow a nice, thick beard.
Anyways, your hair looks great, Amelia is adorable and I still need to call you. I need to come see you! I will have to pack up the kid and my big pregnant self and drive up for a visit. SOON!
