A bunny "boot" = "kamik"



It is sad news as I hear that the Sam's Sourdough Cafe has burned down. For years, the kids and I always ate there. It was a regular place when I spent 2 summers at UAF taking classes for my MA in Education. The kids and I would splurge once a day and eat at the restaurant, on a nice day-outdoors and others, inside. www.newsminer.com for more information regarding the loss.

Friday the 13th and again on Saturday-sewing at the Calico Cow. What? Bunny boots and forget-me-nots? It was fun. I made mine for my brother as a birthday gift, I'll print his name and the year he started on the pipeline about 35 years ago. I may make my label out of duck tape cuz that's as Alaskan as you can get too. Dawn even had some at the FMKQ Guild Craft Day when we constructed our boots. She made hers even more special by making 4 season, fireweed, birch trees, spruce and pussy willows on each. Very cool. Marcia made a farming one with lots of green. Kit made a cool one with camo boots and patriotic a border. I think Paula made one with brown hiking boots too. It was fun and on top of that, we ate good, laughed alot and learned something new. Good for the brain! Thanks Jean for teaching the class.......www.forgetmeknotquilters.com for more info.
