flashback!
since I haven't taken many pictures lately and you're probably getting
sick of the "out the office window" pictures, here's a flashback. The
date information says it was Tuesday of Thanksgiving week in 2002. We
went to a Red Wings game. I think this was the game we had 4
nosebleed tickets (no joke, last row) and one ticket about 9 rows up
from the ice. Walt was not interested in the picture-- probably
watching the game!!!

QUILT TOP!!!!
Ahh! I'm so pumped! My quilt top is mostly done! There is a little
more border work (lots more fireweed fabric) but then the top will be
done!!! I finally figured out the sashing and then it was a breeze!

bald eagle
long time no blog. Here's one from last weekend. This was taken by
West High-- one of the best views in down! It's up the hill from the
lagoon.

new (to me) machine
I didn't need a new machine... but I saw this at an estate sale and
had to bring it home. It's a Bernina 730 Record and it runs like a
dream. All the moving parts and the body are metal and seem to be in
great shape. It came with those green "accessory drawers" filled with
feet and spare needles. I know it was purchased in 1971 at a store on
Fireweed that I drive by every day, and the previous owner left notes
in the manual about sewing "tricot panties" among other things. I
also purchased one of her oil paintings and hung it above my sewing
area for inspiration. Now back to sewing... :-)

AF1 again
Took this with my 50mm lens and then cropped it in... That lens is
nice and sharp in the middle aperatures-- which is why I picked it
over the other lens for this. In this shot you can even see the light
blue on the bottom. I went to work prepared (brought the camera) and
even took an early lunch so I wouldn't miss it! (the road shown is
the southbound Seward Highway)
Air Force One
The President is in town for a few hours! They closed down the airspace
around Elmendorf which makes the city seem awfully quiet! He had
fighter jet cover (way high) and came in from the east and turned over
downtown to land. Pretty exciting. How many people have seen Air Force
One land from their office? :-) It's a gorgeous day for a visit!

progress
Here's the progress so far. It looks so nice! The quilt is going to
have a strip of the purple background between each block but this is
pretty close to what it will look like! I love it so far!
Dustin's Moose Picture
This moose was hanging around our office yesterday (everyone saw it but me! grr!). Dustin went out and followed it over to the BP building where he expertly lined it up with one of these moose outline lights! Just another day in Anchorage. :-)

seen on the way home from church
It was a beautiful, blue sky day here in Anchorage today. I think the
mountains look so majestic with the snow. The snow line is inching
lower and we've had a few days consistantly below freezing (I think
the ground is frozen). My guess is that when it snows it'll stick--
but they're forecasting sunshine for a few more days...
