Chinese New Year in Kaley's class

I was asked to tell Kaley's class about Chinese New Year. All the kids wore red and we celebrated by reading a book and giving out red envelopes.

So much to see

Ainsley loved this bird. We tried to go into the puppet store, but it was closed. Probably a good thing, otherwise, I think we would've come home with a new puppet...or two.

Sketching the Tulips

I took Ainsley and Kaley into the City for the Tulip Festival on Feb. 14th. They decided to camp out at the same spot as last year.

More buildings

Kaley loves this building and gets very excited when she sees it. She says "the stair building, mommy". It is pretty cool- especially when lit up at Christmas.

At the East end of the Embarcadero is this bow and arrow sculpture with the Bay Bridge in the background. The girls thought this was put up just for Valentine's Day.
View from Michael's window on 4th street (16th floor). Rough!!

Sculptures and Buildings in The City


February 14th kicks off the annual Tulip Festival at Pier 39. We love this sculpture, which greets drivers traveling down The Embarcadero.

Q is for Quilt

Mrs. Hanebury's class is studying quilts for the Letter "Q". She asked me if I could do something with some quilt fabric she had. One of the prints is the Bow Tie. Ainsley helped to pick out a backing print. We put batting in between the two, ran a binding with the backing and tied the squares for detail.
This block has various quilts draped over a white picket fence. We found a nice print for the back and ran a ticker tape ribbon around the perimeter.
Both quilt blocks on the wall.
