Would you like a tree with that quilt?  

Posted by Daniel in , , , , ,

So finally after two years my mother finished my graduation quilt! Now most of that time was because I never got around to going to the fabric store to pick out the backing I wanted. So it was my fault not hers, but I am very happy to have it! Sorry for the blurry pictures.



Aforementioned backing, tis a lovely plaid flannel. (The plaid is obvious... But I decided to mention it anyway :D)

Another of today's activities was doing some tree trimming. Or tree felling... By the way, if you are looking for extremely good exercise I would highly recommend splitting wood.



Tree.

I meant to post last weeks sermon from my church previously, but I somehow just never quite got around to it. Well I fully intend to tomorrow, yes when another one will be on the podcast as well, oh well. I would do it tonight, but I need to find my notes, and its past my bed time anyway.

December random post  

Posted by Daniel in , , , ,

So its time for my monthly blog post :D

This one is certainly a mishmash of random stuff, but those are the fun ones right?

Through someone elses blog I have been considering doing reverb10's month of reflection. Which being that it is the middle of the month I suppose I should get working on that if I am going to do it... I do think some of the prompts are rather silly, so I most likely won't be doing all of them, assuming I do any at all.

As well I plan on making myself a flannel sheet, which I'm sure many of my readers can attest that cold sheets are not welcome in the midst of winter.

I also intend to fix my moccasins before the school break ends. See picture below for reasons why.





We also intend on replacing our sliding glass doors on our back porch, as one of them pretty much refuses to open now. This will also involve building in a couple new windows, so that should be interesting and might even involve pictures!

I have also begun running everyday (not counting the weekend) 1. Because I need exercise, and 2 because I want a pair of these! *insert big grin*





The idea behind the shoes is to basically be running barefoot (when you have better balance and save more energy) but still have a bit of protection.


I also am trying making cookies with coconut sugar (insert your own picture) we shall see how those turn out.

Well thats it for now, we'll see how it all goes!
