No plans for the New Year's Eve celebration, just staying home with Richard and Hunter, watching some tv and doing a little sewing. We never do anything special for New Year's Eve. Right now Richard and Hunter are outside playing with Richard's new metal detector that he got for Christmas! He loves it and they have been out in the horse pastures looking for old horseshoes and whatever else they can find. Earlier today they found 3 mule shoes that belonged to Ole Jim, 2 horseshoes, and an old halter that belonged to Bullet that was buried in the mud. (Just in case some of you didn't know.....horseshoes and mule shoes are made different) So who knows what they will come in with this evening.
Today I found some really good deals on some fabric!!! I don't usually buy Christmas fabric because I have a hard time figuring out what to make with it. But this was sooooo cheap that it was hard to pass it up. Here is what I got!
I got 1 yard of this snowman fabric at $1.11 per yard!
This one with the gifts on it....I got 3 yards of it at $1.11 per yard!
I got 2 of these horse panels! I saw them at Hobby Lobby a few months ago but they were more expensive. These were also $1.11 each! The sample that they had at Hobby Lobby was made into a Christmas card holder. Not sure what I will do with 2 of them but they were just so darn cheap!
Now this photo just has odds and ends in it. I got a yard of insulbrite to finish up some pot holders, red fabric for Bonnie's Mystery, some muslin to bind mom's quilt, and on the end is 2 more panels that are Christmas Story Books, they were also $1.11 each! I thought they would make good gifts for some little ones for next year!
Oh and I got this too! 1 yard of it! I thought it would make cute pot holders and oven mitts! It was not on sale but still only $3 per yard!
Well, I guess that is it for tonight! Got to clean up the house a little bit, put a pizza in the oven, settle down for the evening, watch a movie with Richard and Hunter and work on Bonnie's Mystery!!! Oh and before I forget! Mom when for her first physical therapy yesterday!! The therapist was looking over her report from her doctor and said there was no wonder she was in so much pain! He said he actually did 4 surgeries in 1. Not sure exactly what all was done because I wasn't with her, my sister was but mom said something about they cut the end of her collar bone off and it is just floating in there with the muscles, removed her bursa pad, and fixed her rotator cuff tear and something else, I don't remember what it was. But anyway, she starts out at 2 days a week and she is still not allowed to move her arm, but the therapist will move it for her until she heals a little more. Chantal goes back to work on Monday so I will be taking mom in for her therapy 2 days a week. So now I need to find some kind of small project to work on while I wait on her!!!
Happy New Year!

Part Three, the paper-pieced string blocks are already finished! So I'm feeling good about this so far. 
Oh and the other day, I stopped by Walmart and found this on Clearance!! They are Thomas Kinkade Potholders and Oven Mitt panels! I bought all they had which was 3 panels for $2.22 each! Each panel has 2 oven mitts and 2 potholders. I thought they might make great gifts for new year or to use for myself! (Actually I took this photo off of Ebay, because I was too lazy to take a photo)
And look at this little pretty!!!! Another Jim Shore!! This was a gift from my brother and SIL! I love it!!! (Again, this photo is from Ebay, being lazy again! ) Anyway, I do love it and it meant alot that they thought to get it for me. So thanks so very much John and Kellie!!!
I will now leave you with some cute little photos! Of course another one of Donkey laying in his favorite spot! I think he likes laying up there so that he can keep an eye on everyone!
And my precious little Jazzy! Isn't he just sooooooo cute! He was pouting because he just had a bath and Richard used the blowdryer to dry him! :) So glad he is back home!
Now since I have been sewing most of the day....I need to finish supper, which is just spaghetti and garlic bread. And also need to straighten up the living room and clean the bathroom! :( Giggle, I've tried to con Hunter into cleaning the bathroom today, even tried to pay him and he said "No" and that I was too cheap! Hmmm......may have to make him help me just for meanness! :) 
This one she wanted made for a co-worker. They exchanged names and Jennifer is a big University of Kentucky fan. 
This is a Coat Of Many Colors that my SIL had made for her babysitter. 
My SIL really liked the above quilt that she bought as a gift so my brother called and asked me to make another one for her. I think it was a gift from their small kids to their mommy! So here is hers.
My SIL also bought a few other quilts. This one was for her co-worker that they exchanged names. 
This one she bought for her mother.
This one was a gift for her special aunt.
This one they all went together and bought for their boss's birthday!
This one is not the actual quilt sold but the other one was just a larger version of it. This little topper was made from leftover blocks. The large quilt was bought by one of the drug representatives that come to their doctor's office.
This was a gift for my Great Nephew, Braxton.
This one was made for my nephew, Gabe.
This isn't quilted in this photo but I had added borders to this panel and it was for my other nephew, Zeph.
This one was a gift for my 8 yr old niece, Madison. It was made with fabrics from her Great Grandmother that had passed away a few years ago. 
Of course this big pink monster was a gift for my sister!
This was mom's! I got it quilted late on Christmas Eve but I didn't get the binding done. So I bought it back home and I will have to work on that. It measures something like 96x122! I don't have a clue what I was thinking when I made that.
This was a gift for my MIL.
