Happy Birthday Ava!

Photos of the weekend tomorrow.....my baby is 6....can I believe it? Hell no!

We're off to Oberstdorf for a ski weekend

The Dehan's, Walt's, and Elkin-Rush's and Holmes Family Adventures are heading to Allgau this weekend for our 2nd Annual German Friend-Family Ski Trip...can't wait!

What's up Katie

Well, after being in the hospital, I wasn't quite myself...huh? So, I kind of took last week off. So, this week, I'm back, and with a vengeance!

So today, with a friend, I headed out to Boesner, a German art supply store. http://www.boesner.com/boesner/servlet/frontend/niederlassungen/leinfelden.html?command=display&btUid=bt_Branches&iDf_id=c0a81e6:55c2357d:107a447137f:a80
Boy was it fun! And the custom framing is so darned inexpensive that I think I'll re-frame the story of Little Baby Black Dracula(or really some biblical story that I don't know the name of). I've had it since Peter went to work in Ethiopia when we lived in Spain, and back in the day, I could only afford the least expensive metal frame. Well now, watch out! Will post once I've actually had it done.

Oh, and the week before last, I made mozzarella with Tanya, aka Washington State Apples. It was fun and really good, but for those of you who really know me, I'm just not that patient.

Bye!

I'm OK

So, my fabulous ski trip didn't go as planned, and I had to spend 2 nights in the local hospital(there's a link on the title). Turns out the sore throat that I'd had since Wednesday last week was Strep, and I was really sick! And this link shows a woman in bed, but it's really one of the nurses(GREAT) http://www.vinzenz-klinik.de/page.php?id=KlinikLeistungsspektrum
But I'm home now, and recovered. And tonight, we've got date night with some friends to go to Thai in Stuttgart....mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Lindsey's Bday Party

I'm finally off my butt, so, here's Ava

We're home after a fabulous week in GAP

Otherwise known as Garmsich-Partenkirchen.....we had a great time, ran into some friends and got to do a lot of skiing. It was cold, but that didn't stop us! I had a "little" crash, so you can see the photo I "took" as I was crashing, and what my helmet looked like after:*(

The photo of the kids on the ground is one Ava took...I'm glad she has a sense of humor, or is that a mean streak?

Ava's creation at school yesterday

Boogerville, or Level 23 as it's now known as

Is Robbyn my color queen or what????

C'est ridicule

Overheard by Michelle at the Louvre that is showing "Art" by Jeff Koons. My personal favorite is Michael with Bubbles.

I love this photo

Did I nail it or what? And it doesn't hurt that my models are so fabulous!

First shots from our trip

These include visits with friends, Bruges, first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower and Paris....and look at Michelle the Angel:*

A chance to win free presents!

Krappy Katie continued, or is that Crafty Katie

But which blog to post to? I guess this, as it's not about jewelry....

Tanya the Craft Goddess(seriously, she's AMAZING, and I mean this in all seriousness!)gave me some fabulous homespun yarns for my birthday complete with needles and yarn bag, as she's giving me lots of credit to think that I might be patient enough to learn to knit...but today, she had me over for a class in felting. SO MUCH FUN! Look what I made, 3 of the 4 balls pictured:*)

Stay tuned for the continuing adventures of Katie the Craft Queen
