Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I hope the new year is filled with love, happiness, fun and friendship!

Hoot Hoot!

So I've had the last couple nights to myself, Dallas spent the night with gma and gpa and then at his BFs house. So I've been catching up on some fun chick flicks and reading blogs and quilting mags and books. You know the fun stuff (*_*)  And I am super excited to say that I have found a pattern that I absolutely LOVE for my It's A Hoot charm packs that I've been itching to make something with.

How freaking cute is that?! I'm not sure yet if I'll do the rick rack, I'll have to see how the quilt makes me feel before I decide for sure. The pattern is called Blissful Day and you can get the kit at cottonway.com or you can enter her give-away on her blog. Now I just have to wait for my Kona Cotton to get here.

New Stash Material

So I got these cute new fat quarters for my stash

and I got these cute fat quarters to make a cute lap quilt. I think I'll call it Java Jitters  {*_*}

Yay!!! Another Niece!!!

So my sister Steph had her ultrasound today and its a GIRL!!! I'm super excited. Her theme is going to be hot pink and zebra print, and I like that it can be interpreted in alot of different ways, as opposed to it being a princess room or something. She likes this crib set which can be found here on etsy.

and this one which can be found here. I think I like it without the green better.

Lazy Days

Remember my Disappearing 9 Patch, here it is again. It was the last present Dallas opened this morning. We changed out the curtains and pillowcases right away and he said he loved how cozy the quilt is. Seriously, how cute is he?

My Mom and Dick really liked the hourglass quilt I made for them also. 

Since we did all of our Christmases (sp?) we are spending a nice lazy day at home watching movies while Dallas puts together Lego sets and just hanging out together. I really appreciate days like today since our lives are so busy. Even Walmart is closed today, so even if I wanted to go somewhere there is no where to go, so I'm going to stay in my jammies and enjoy my day with Dallas.

Merry Christmas!

I sometimes feel like Julie on Julie and Julia. Hello...is anyone out there? Is anyone reading this?

Well if you are I would like to say Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine and I hope your holiday is full of love and happiness.

Captivating

A few weeks ago at church our Pastor used some of the illustrations as well as the audio cd's for part of his sermon. I was captivated instantly, so I of course came home and ordered a copy for myself and Dallas. There is over 40 stories all of them narrated on the cd's. We have listened to them the last 2 nights and have listened to 10 of the stories. We both love listening to them and have made connections between old testament stories and Jesus that we might not have seen or understood as clearly before.
