Moving into our new house!

It has been an especially busy week as we have moved into our new house! :)
I still can't believe that we could afford a brand new home.
We also planted an apple tree in the back and a pomegranate in the front,
The new neighbors seem nice and the neighborhood is very quiet. We'll except for the frogs lol, they are very loud. But in a cozy sort of way.

Snow day!

Today has been another snow day, ie my husband has been off.it has been so nice to have him homeAlthough I find it kinda hilarious that slush snow can cause so much chaos. We went to walmart for some dog food and mittens, watched some Olympics and made a delicious chicken kabob dinner.
It turn me out to be Middle East inspired which we enjoyed very much. Me because I have missed that food ever since I left Sweden ( Sweden has a lot of immigrants from the Middle East and they brought their yummy food) and my husband since he has deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. I am almost finished with the boys quilts. They got to pick their own fabric :)

celtic solstice almost done!

The best part about this mystery quilt is that it has kept me focused on one project :)
It is smaller than I had first planned , I kinnda ran out of red.
overall I am loving this quilt though! I went with different colors but with bonnies directions it was easy to pick my palette!

Also it looks like the broncos are loosing :( ah well they had a good year.

Busy busy busy!

Since moving to Nc I have been super busy. We are buying a house! Yay
It is brand new built in 2013,! I never thought we would be able to afford such a nice house:)

Also it snowed here last night! The kids are having a blast. Aaand my husband is off from work, because apparently this is a very big deal in North Carolina. Either way I am not complaining. We went to the food lion and got some groceries and made homemade pizza. We also got some apple cider to heat later.
It is a good day in North Carolina!

Our soon to behouse

North Carolina

There has been a lot going on lately.  We got our house on base last week and on monday our furniture arrived. We have unpacked the bulk of it but there are still some things we are missing, such as the leash for our dog and the screws for the bunk beds! rhe search goes on. The boys are starting to enjoy the weather more. We went to the park today and they got totally muddy! Good thing we got a brand new washer and dryer :)

My sewing room is all set up! To see other quilters progress in the celtic solstice mystery go To http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2014/01/mystery-monday-link-up-part-6.html?m=1

We made it to north Carolina. We are about 4 hrs away in Greensboro. So far everything has been going good. We even picked up some couches! We will be ringing in the new year here and then continue to jacksonville tomorrow. The kids are having a good time as well as there is a pool here! I have been playing around with the mystery quilt too! So much fun!
I found a way to make a cross. Still don't know what BOnnie has in mind though! For other peoples progress and guesswork go to http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2013/12/mystery-monday-link-up-part-5.html?m=1

good morning from Colorado!

Yes we made it to colorado. It was a long trip though. The truck broke  down in Norco, so we had to spend a night in a motel :( . 2000$ later and we were on the road. By the time we got to Utah the trailer was Having Issues! We managed to sell it and move on.  It started snowing in the pass, but we still made pretty good time. As for the mystery I have only made about 20 four patches because I have been enjouing winter!
