Yard Sale Stuff

Went sailing with Carol this morning. I found a red candle stick toy telephone & 2 silver picture frames for Crys wedding centerpieces.

I got a leather tape measure holder for B cause he keeps losing his...

I got an old metal washer with a wooden dowel, it is what they used when they had the metal tubs to wash laundry in by hand.

The camera I traded with a friend and it will be part of the centerpieces for the wedding. Only 2 sales this morning, it was fun!

Crys Wedding Gowns

Here is the vintage wedding dress Crys has ordered for the Portland Oregon temple & reception in La grande in May.

Here is the finished traditional Chinese dress she will wear to the Chinese tea Ceremony and the 10 course meal reception in Seattle. It has dragons and phoenixes on it which is what the females wear. They are having 3 little girl traditional red Chinese dresses made for Sadie, Thea and Alan's niece. Can't wait to see them!

First Dance

Whoa! Andrew danced 20 times at his first church dance! We cut his hair. He polished his shoes. He turned 14 and he is ready to dance.

Quilt tops

Here are two tops I have been working on. I finished the red/ black/ white Drunkard's path and will use it as a wedding present. We have four weddings coming up. The other top (not quilted yet) is Amazing Mazes. It is a four part log cabin rotated. I like the geometric look. I think I will put flannel on the back and it will be a cozy lap quilt.

NEW FURNACE! Ta Daa!

Our old furnace died & we now have a new furnace! The old one was 40 years old & we could have replaced the motor for $200. We opted to update the heating system & save on our monthly gas bill. The house does seem to heat up faster. It has a digital power thermostat too. Are we new age or what?

One of the pipes had holes in it where it had rusted through. That may have been the cause of my headaches!

T & T were the company we used. They responded in a timely manner, were very knowledgeable and not too expensive! (Albeit one of the T's is going on a Caribbean cruise with his wife this week.) We will replace the water heater after the two weddings this spring & summer...
