design wall monday!

Or well in my case  design floor monday! Lol
I have been working on scrappy trips, a free bonnie hunter pattern.
This one is a scrap buster for sure. I realized that I had too many scraps and yhe only way I could justify keeping them was to use them :)

 This past weekend was busy, we went to a train museum, which was a big hit with the kids.

 And then we spent some time at the neighbors where Eli found this fly ride!
James is a little happier about North Carolina now that he is making friends

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
