??????????????

Where have I been, you ask? My computer crashed. Thought it was fixed...crash...thought it was fixed...crash....you get the idea. I am now the proud owner of a brand new laptop! And a new all-in-one-printer...no wait it's a scanner...no wait it's a copier...no wait it's a fax machine. Anyway, I am back online. What else have I been doing? Remember the Yucky House? We finished it yesterday. That's right finished! We've had it for over a year now. After taking a few months off when my Dad had cancer surgery it was slow going. Besides putting up the curtains it is DONE! I'll post some new pictures Tuesday. Now I'm off to make some playhouse curtains for Lisa!

More Completed Projects!

Since Shawn has started school I now have more time in the evening to quilt. This is good because Shawn said I needed to stop buying more fabric until he saw some completed projects. Well, I'm on a roll. Two more completed projects! Four really if you count the burp cloths I finished and mailed out to a friend, and the monster truck pillowcase that I made for Maddox, that he doesn't like. Here they are!

This is a wall hanging. I still have to put the backing on it, but since I bought more fabric yesterday, I'm counting it as finished. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, I just liked the fabric.

This is a lap quilt that I made for my Grandma. She's probably having back surgery in a month and I thought she could use it. This quilt top was made from 6 fat quarters and was super fast to put together! I'll be making more of this pattern!

Wondering What I've been up to?

Here are a couple pictures of my latest creations!

This is my Bug Jar quilt top for Maddox. He loves bugs! It's hard to tell from the picture but each "jar" is filled with a different bug fabric.

This quilt is for me. My friend Melissa and I each made one of these quilts together. Again, hard to tell from the picture but each of the coffee cups is different. Now they're both headed off to be quilted! I just make the tops, I don't "quilt" them.

It's that time again, my favorite time, Bloggy Giveaways Carnival Time! WooHoo! I can't wait to check out all the blogs, I don't even remember how many there were last time - at least over 900, and hopefully I'll win something along the way. So far there hasn't been a Carnival where I haven't won something. So what am I giving away? Well, ONE lucky winner will get a $10 Starbucks card (I know, I know, I giveaway a Starbucks card every time, but this time my husband said I could go all out and double the amount on the card, that's right people, this time the card is for $10), AND four lucky winners will each walk away with a box (well, actually a full-value coupon for a FREE box) of NEW Cocoa Puffs Combos cereal! This is the first new product from Cocoa Puffs since they were introduced in 1958! This new cereal has the chocolatey puffs along with the new vanilla puffs. YUM!

TO ENTER: simply leave a comment telling me your favorite breakfast cereal (if you don't have a blog be sure to leave an e-mail address so I can contact you) on this post by noon, Friday July 31st. I'll use a random number generator to pick the winners that afternoon during nap time. My giveaway is open to all US and Canadian residents, whether you have a blog or not, the cost of shipping is covered. My favorite breakfast cereal is Lucky Charms! Good Luck!

Proof

Just in case you needed it, here's proof that Maddox loves his new trampoline.

This is my 200th Post!

WOW! My 200th post. Too bad I don't have anything exciting to say. So I'll tell you about how spoiled Maddox has been this past week. First, I got him a huge set of really nice wooden blocks.

The set I got him is 20+ blocks bigger than this set. He likes them. Until today when my Grandma went and bought him his very own trampoline. Very similar to the one in this picture.

This blew the block set out of the water. He LOVES this! It got me thinking, my kid seems to now have every toy known to man, what am I going to get him for Christmas?
