Our cabin

Just got back from being in Anchor Point, Alaska for 3 weeks, building our vacation cabin. What a beautiful place to live and the people has been so kind and sweat to us. Small town about 3,000 people which spread all over the area. Its locate between Homer and Soldotna / Kenai. You can google it and find out about this beautiful area. We were stressed but in our own terms, building our 400 sq ft cabin using local material, white spruce. Even though it was stressful we enjoyed every step from squaring the block for our floor to all the finishing touch. Next year's vacation would be putting a water system, composite toilet, kitchen and a deck. Cannot wait to decorate the interior with quilts, quilts from bedspread, wall hanging and every small house hold like hot pot mittens, curtains, table cloth etc. I will be busy all winter sewing away during those cold rainy months before heading back to Alaska again in May 2012.

Ring

Did I show you my ring, yet?. Its an Ellensburg blue, yes, only found in eastern Washington town of Ellensburg. Its facet (?) and in white gold.

Knitting

I am going through another phase, knitting. It is much easier to knit while traveling than sewing. Taking sometime off from working, and amazingly I still run out of time to do many many things.

Big projects in the works, cleaning my horrible cluttered house and garage and oh ya, I got engaged and getting married this coming Saturday, March 26, 2011 in Forks, WA at the Kalaloch Lodge to my wonderful partner in life, Dale Bradley Rahier, can't wait to call him DH, dear husband or dale honey.... Its beautiful setting and yes, it is where Twilight Saga stories was based and I am a big fan of the books but more important, just a gorgeous place to get married. Outside, in front of the cabins off the bluff. Will take many many pictures, and yes, I do need to make our own quilt for our bed as a married couple. Any ideas? Its anybody reading this blog? I feel like Julie from Julie and Julia.
