A Quilt For MY Boys Blog Hop

It's MY day For The Boys!

With four Monkey Boys (grandsons) in my life, this hop was just the thing 
I needed to give me some ideas on what to make for boys.

 I managed to think up a couple ideas that were aimed at guys only...

My hubby loves to watch movies and eat popcorn with the Monkey Boys during their sleepovers. 
The movies they watch usually include Looney Tunes or The Three Stooges. 
If it's the Three Stooges they're watching, it's a no-brainer that I'll be hearing them all say, "Who's in charge here?" followed by hysterical laughter as they all point 
at each other. They think they are so funny!

When I saw some Three Stooges fabric by Robert Kaufman, I knew I had to make them all a 
quilt to snuggle under while eating popcorn and watching crazy movies with their Doodah 
(what they call my hubby.)


"Be A Stooge"

 With a little nudging and pushing from That Other Lady, I managed to finish Mumley...
I was thinking I was too tired from moving to do one more thing. She knew just what to say to
get me thinking otherwise. Monkey Boy #3 will be a happy boy when he gets this quilt!

 "Mumley"

I'll be delivering all these monsters to my Monkey Boys this weekend!

 Look who else is For The Boys today:
Amy's Crafty Shenanigans
Ridge Top Quilts
Creatin' in the Sticks
Elizabeth Coughlin Designs
Meadowbrook

Just Let Me Quilt
Kris Loves Fabric

Here's a little GIVEAWAY for this hop...a package I bought at my
favorite quilt store, Quilted Works.
It's a pattern and fabric for a pillowcase...for a boy, of course!

Bella, The Rescue Dog AND For The Boys

My sweet Bella ran into my sewing room yesterday and went straight to the corner where 
I've stacked some of my fabric buckets (no, I haven't finished unpacking, yet.) She had no clue
 how dangerous that corner is because things are precariously balanced over there just waiting
 for me to get creative with their contents! 

It wasn't that Bella wanted to be close to me while I was sewing for the next blog hop...there was a 
fly in the house and she was scared of it. She's scared of everything and sometimes there's a few 
lights out in her little chandelier. We love her anyway!

Bella's a rescue dog from an eviction and spent over six weeks in a shelter waiting for her owners to 
come get her. They never did. It was obvious she'd recently had puppies, but they weren't with her. 
She cowered when I went to pet her, which was a big indicator she was abused by her previous 
owners (she still cowers even though she gets nothing but love from us.) The shelter I got her from 
wasn't one of those that keeps abandoned pets forever...if you know what I mean. Her time was very 
short. We were lucky to get her and she's been a great addition to our family for the last couple years.

My soapbox is in a box somewhere or I'd be jumping on it right now to rant a little about spaying 
your pets and being responsible pet owners. Dang...I miss my soap box (and all those other things 
waiting to be unpacked.)

Bella's a girl dog, so the next blog hop coming up really isn't her thing...
IT'S FOR THE BOYS!

Amy at Sew Incredibly Crazy will be cheering us on for this one and it looks like 
there's lots of  amazing quilters who will be showing us their stuff.
