The days after Christmas are some of my favorites. The decorations are still up but things are calmer and more cozy. I love spending the quiet days at home with the kids playing their new games and watching the new movies they got on dvd. Just being lazy with no where to go and nothing to do. I spent all day yesterday sewing (which has been forever since I've done it) and watching movies with Mark and the kids. I loved it!The wall hanging above is one that I should have finished long ago for a shop sample, but with being sick and then the holidays it just didn't happen. So the top is done now and I just have to quilt it - probably this weekend.
Probably one of the most fun things this Christmas was having Chloe around. I think she got more gifts from Santa and the kids than anyone! Her FAVORITE toy came from Santa (Emily was Santa for her and spent her own money on the toys) and is 3 chipmonks in a tree trunk that squeek. She loves sqeeky toys, but chews her toys up to death. She goes nuts outside over squirrels, chipmonks and mice. So this was perfect. It was so much fun to hear her sqeeky around, and watching her dig the chipmonks out when we would put them in the tree! So far she has been good to the poor little chipmonks. Only 1/2 an ear on one is gone! Yup, she was one happy dog the last 2 days!

Nice border!
Great colors-- the border really adds to it.
Love Chloe's new toy...my Badger would love it too! :D That wallhanging is gorgeous, Dawn!
Oooh...Chloe would have fun around here with all of the squirrels and rabbits!
Your applique is terrific, Dawn!
OO what a spoiled dog you have ;-)
ANd the sample is awesome.. Is it a pattern???
What a fun toy. Harper's favorite part is when she finally gets a whole large enough to pull the stuffing out. We call it 'gutting' I swear she's smiling the entire time. Sad for the toy -- joy for Harper.
Your quilt top is great -- what pattern is it? Looks like a lot of fun to make.
I love the way that wall hanging turned out - nicely done! What is it about dogs and squeeky toys - they never seem to be totally happy until they've chewed out the squeaker!
oh what a lucky puppy! Our Goober would go nuts for 3 little chipmunks! As it is he "killed" his new bo-bo toy in about 3 minutes flat. Love the wallhanging! Great fabrics and the border treatment is fabulous. I'm so glad you got to sew again! Bet you are too.
I'm glad you finally got to sew! Your wallhanging is very, very pretty. The border is awesome!
Santa made Chloe one happy Pup!
