Crazy pups and Plenty of Finished Projects!

Since Christmas 2012 was with D's family, although we is see my family, we needed to make a trip up north to have a weekend to exchange our gifts and just spend time with my parents. So, this past weekend we went up and spent some time with them. We got our pups re-acquainted and they played NON STOP all weekend. My parents puppy is a 10 month old boxer and full of energy. Our 5 year old ridgeback, with a leg sprain, held her own but they wore each other out both days.

We just enjoyed each others company, exchanged gifts and visited the construction zone that is the new house to see all the progress. We always have a wonderful time, albeit on little sleep because of the pups, and was sad that we had to cut out trip short because the snow and sleet started coming down and we couldn't get stuck.

I was also able to finish a couple of projects this weekend. A quilt top for my dear friends birthday at the end of the month, although the finished photos will have to wait until he receives it. As well as some denim baby bibs! Stay tunes for a tutorial on those babies later in the week, but I'll give you a photo preview!

Happy January!

Day Seven - Snow

Since I live in Los Angeles, it's kinda hard to get a random snow photo. So here is a photo that I took 2 years ago at my parents house in Tehachapi. It had snowed all night long and D and I were able to build a snowman in it before it melted by the afternoon this shot was taken. I still love the freshly packed look and all the barren branches coated with snow, with the sun peeking through the clouds. One of my favorite photos! <3

Winter Wonderland

Today, as I had my furlough day, I hung out with our pup all day and listened to the rain as it lightly fell outside my window. It was one of those days in which you enjoy being indoors with the ones you love. Unfortunately my hubbs had work so it was just us redheads in the house.

While we had raindrops, just 60 miles north at my parents home in Tehachapi they got a wild winter wonderland storm. As she was texting me photos I found myself wanting to go and play childlike in it. Go sledding and making snow angels. Hopefully they will get another storm so that the hubbs and I can go up and drink hot chocolate and play like children. Looking forward to that! :-)
