Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? One Last Finish for 2021....

 

Hi, all!

The last Friday of the year has arrived, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!  Are you ready?  Let's go!

&*&*&*&*&*&*&

It's been a wild and crazy time here, but I couldn't let the year end without posting one last finish for the year!  I'm happy to say that I have finally finished my Endless Summer quilt, started many years ago as a vacation project.  It's languished in a project box since then but this fall, as part of the WIPS-B-Gone challenge, I dragged it out and started working on it again.  And here's the finished product!

We had some sunshine today, but it didn't last long enough for me to get any good pictures outside...

...but it's still beautiful, isn't it?  These bright summery colors should bring a lot of cheer to January and the new year!

So - - - can I get a whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?

What's making you do a little happy dance?

Share!  We want to dance right along with you,

And it's always more fun to dance with friends!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there!

Hugs!

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? Look Who's Growing Up!

 

Hi, all!

Friday has rolled around again - the third to the last in 2021!  Can you believe it?  Well, believe it or not, it still signals that it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on, so let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Almost twelve years ago, when I started this blog, I introduced you this little charmer - my oldest granddaughter, Lilli.

Over the years, she has helped out in the studio...

...tried her hand at some other talents...

...become a big sister...

...started school....

...learned lots about being a good big sister...

...headed up a growing gang of cousins...

...sparkled...

...hammed it up...

...developed a million dollar smile...

...kept on growing up (even though we told her to stop)...

She continues to ignore us, and yesterday this beauty....

...turned fourteen!!  I had so much fun going back through the blog to find pictures of her through the years - she has truly grown up here!

She's still got that million dollar smile, albeit with braces (which should come off in about a month or so!), and some has developed some serious baking skills...

...even making her own birthday cake!  

So I'm doing some serious happy dancing here as we celebrate Lilli's fourteenth birthday!

Can I get a whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?

What's making you do a little happy dance?

And it's always more fun to dance with friends!

The party will stay open until Sunday midnight.

Hope to see you there!

Can I Get A Whoop Whoop? You Missed Me!

 

Hi, all!

It's Friday, and we all know what that means - it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on!!  So without further ado, let's get to it!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

Many of you messaged or emailed me this week, asking if everything was ok - since I apparently dropped off the face of the earth last week! Well, there is a good reason for that, and her name is Bree...

She is a 13-week old mini Australian Shepherd, which is basically the equivalent of a two-year old!  She's changed a bit from the day we got her...

...but apparently our choice of name was not only good, but prophetic. If you are an Outlander fan, you may recall that in Gaelic, the word "bree" means a great disturbance - and she really is!  Having a young puppy is rather like having a toddler that bites constantly.  We call her various names in addition to Bree - she's alternately known as The Kraken (as in "release the Kraken")...

...or Fancy Pants - don't you just love her racing stripes?  And today I added WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) to her list of names, as she spent most of the day trying to demolish her toys.

She does occasionally rest, and when she does, she's a really sweet girl!  Just as with babies, this is why we put up with them.  While they are resting, we forget about all the mayhem they create!  

She's quite a snuggler, too.  Once she has chewed our hands into submission, she likes to curl up in our laps for a little nap.  Unfortunately, she isn't big on laptops sharing that space, which helps explain my absence!

She's finally getting close to sleeping through the night, which will help a lot I think.  There's still lots of exploring for her to do, and  she's a curious little thing.  I spend much of my day chasing her around and making sure she's not destroying anything important.  She hears the word "no" a lot, but it doesn't seem to make an impression on her yet!

So - - - can I get (an exhausted) whoop whoop?

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

And now it's your turn!

What's got you whooping it up this week?

What's making you do a little happy dance?
