Willamette Trail


We did Willamette Trial a couple of weeks ago - this time it DID rain on us - winter hiking up here is tricky!

We hiked Spencers Butte yesterday. 1.5 miles to the summit and the last .5 mile was a steep scramble. It didn't rain on us but it was pretty chilly. Very beautiful - I love the Northwest!

Joanie's Jammies

This is my first attempt at sewing since high school! Many thanks to my sister, Kelly, for all her help, support and inspiration! I used Simplicity pattern 2721 and modified the legs so they were wider and not tapered. I shortened the waist by about an inch and added three inches to the drawstring.

As I am a beginner I did have problems with sizing - even after
measuring my garment was much too big and had to be altered.
