Puppies

About ten days ago My dads dog Gus and our dog Kate became the proud parents of 7 yes 7! Llewellin Setter puppies. Oh man are they cute. They are a little bit of a rare breed. You see my maiden name is Llewllyn. It is Welsch. These Setters are the only true breed of setters left in the world. We actually purchased ours from a very good kennel in Arkansas, and had them flown here as puppies. So here are some pics of the dad, he is the one in the kennel. The mom, she is the one my dad has a hold of. And of the cute little 7 dwarfs. In a few days I will post a few pics when their eyes get open. We love our Llewellin Setters. They are the best family/hunting dogs you could ask for. They are very loving and loyal.

Summer

We have had a pretty fun summer. Spent a little time at Grandpas Cabin, a little time at the ball park (oh I mean a lot of time at the ball park) Done a little water sliding. And just a little general goofing off. This mom has not gotten anything done though. I am ready for some serious mom/sewing/time!!

Go Check it out!

Hey go check out my other here and see what i've been up to!

Bittersweet

Well, I have opened my own quilt pattern company. I know crazy huh! I think it's crazy anyway. For those of you that don't know, I have been designing quilts for Izzy & Ivy Designs a while now. Well, I am going out on my own. It will surely be an adventure. My new company is called Sweet Ruby Designsand I hope to be having a booth at Spring Quilt Market next year in Salt Lake City. Cross your fingers. I will soon be posting my patterns on the site over there so if you know anyone interested direct them my way. And say a prayer or two cuz I am sure I will need it.

Update

Oh no I did not die. I know some of you might wish I had. But I am still here. I am just busy. I do a few things here and there you know. Here is a quick update on life. I got myself a new toy. A laptop. And it sure hasn't helped me blog more, but it has helped me try and straighten out the books at my husbands business. I have written 4 more quilt patterns that are supposed to be coming out at quilt market at the end of the month, but I am not sure if they are or not. The quilts will be there though and after market I will be sure and do a lovely post and show you how fab they are. At least I think they are fab. My children are playing a lot of sports. Baseball, soccer, dance. We are all over the place. One more dance competition to go and we are done with those. Kenadee has taken first place in her solo at every competition though. And that is quite exciting. She is in the top category for her age, so there is some tough competition. My baby is old. 7 months. She of coarse is still the cutest thing ever, and the best baby there ever was. She smiles always and shows off her dimples. She also sleeps 7 to 8 hours every night. I don't really deserve her. Oh, wait yes I do because I have those 3 crazy boys that spray paint my house and stuff. I also got this really cool camera and so here are some of the pics we have taken with it!

Toot! Toot!

I don't do this very often. Or, maybe I do and I just don't want to know that I do. Anyway. Here it is. My horn.
Have any of you seen this

It is the Poppin' Posies Quilt from Izzy n Ivy. Designed by Me, Myself, and I. Yes, me!!! I am lucky enough to have some fabulous friends that let me ride their coat tails and design quilts for their pattern company. I absolutely love quilting. I love to figure out what little piece I want to go where. I actually dream about them at night.
I should have about 5 more quilt patterns coming out at Spring Quilt Market this Spring. For you non quilty people Quilt Market is where all the quilt shops go to purchase all the new fabrics and patterns for the upcoming season, and if you want to get your patterns known in the quilty world that is where you go. Izzy n Ivy had a booth at fall Market, but I was not there due to the fact that Ava was about 2 days old. The booth was phenomenol and won Best New Booth Award.

I always think that I am going to put more of my quilting things on my blog but I never do. I am going to try harder though. First I have to remember to take pics of things. I should now though because I have a fab new camera to do that with. Anywho go and check out all the cutest patterns that Izzy n Ivy have and where to purchase them!!!

Thoughts for today

*I like to eat broccoli, but my gall bladder does not.

*I think everyone should wear polka dot pajamas and mismatched socks.

*It should either snow a lot or the sun should come out.

*Fabric makes me smile.


Over Christmas break my cousin and his fam came to visit. It was like being on a staycation. We had a fab time doing things with them. One day we went to Soldier Hollow to go tubing. Here we all are after they got done with their fun times.




These two cuties posed for this pic at the fam christmas party for me. Don't they have big muscles.

I cannot believe how big my little baby is getting. She has found her hands and now constantly eats them. I should be humble about her but I can't. I think she is the cutest thing ever, and I spoil her rotten. And I don't even care.
