2017 Comes Roaring In

-

These are my happy little people!

They make my heart sing and tears flow when they are unhappy. Today was Miss Z's Birthday, the big 4 and I didn't even get to call her. We see her on Sunday for her party. Happy Birthday sweet girl Nana loves you!

 

 

This guy is growing up so fast! Handsome, shy, and smart he will have the ladies lined up one day. He is just fine and healthy for his age! We had a great time at a couple of girls birthday party.

 

Here is another one of our babies "Tia" at almost 14 weeks she is learning to play with other dogs next door more her size and trying to stay out of "George" and "Brandy's" way. When she get tired she finds me and sleeps on my feet as I sew. I have spent more time with her training her to be a lover not a fighter, and I will say it is very tiring but rewarding.

 

Snowball, Aurifil, and I are working on few secret projects! It is keeping me busy. I think 2017 will be quite the quilty year for me.

 

 

Something I will be doing in 2017 is this beautiful Bella Skill Builder Quilt Kit Exclusive Fat Quarter Shop Kit designed by Sherri McConnell | Fat Quarter Shop. I just love the quilt blocks in this quilt! Click on the link and find out about getting started yourself soon.

 


I am working on a "Hazel the hedgehog" and I love these Alison Glass fabrics for her spikes! It is for a swap for Instagram. #hazelmaniaswap if you travel there you can find me at @intheboondocks

The hope all your holidays went beautifully ours was pretty wonderful. I kept busy being a wife, mother, and Nana. I hope all of our 2017 will be happy and healthy.

Love you all and thank you for checking in on this fabric junky!

    Sweet post! I love that you shared your grandchildren. You are blessed! My dog used to lay on my foot but since I moved my sewing room he has stopped. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing. Good luck with the skill builder and now I know why all the Hazels are suddenly popping up on IG;-) Happy Sewing!

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles! I have to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Amy (Head Cheerleader)@ Sew Incredibly Crazy for arranging this great hop! What is a ruffle? There are lots of different kinds and Madam Samm left it open to interpretation. She showed us how to make some and at the time I was thinking; ruffled bloomers, ruffled dresses, ruffled pillows. Then I saw a quilt in a magazine with what looked like ruffles! I kind of browsed through the issue of Quilt-it today , March/April 2014 issue and left it in my rocking chair and went to work. The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don'
