For The Boys Blog Hop

Welcome to the final day of

For the Boys Blog Hop

If you're keenly observant, you'll notice the date above

shows the hop was over two days ago.

Am I late to the party?

Oh Goodness...No I am Not!

I'm right on time and exactly where I'm supposed to be.

There were so many BOYSterous Bloggers,

our dear Madame Samm

and head cheerleader, that

Sew Incredibly Crazy gal,

Amy

had to add on a couple extra days!

Lucky You!

Thank you ladies for another fun time!

No doubt you've been following along...

Hasn't everyone done a wonderful job?

I'm excited that today is MY day.

So here goes....

What I first planned to do....

well.....didn't get done.

Don't tell me that surprises you now!

If you've been here before...you know I've got some

"attention span" issues...

The Spouse and I were contacted by the local USO office...

asking if by chance we had two quilts for twin boys...

I started with some simple rail blocks...

But we don't really need these quilts until

closer to Christmas....

so on the back burner they went when....

we got a nifty new hexie ruler in the shop from 

Creative Grid

so.....

I decided to treat MY BOY TOY this time around!

First I made him a mug rug...

Can you say score?!?!

My friend Margaret Travis of Eazy Peazy Quilts

designed this Muggy Ruggy for "Cut Loose Press" patterns.

How could I not make one for my guy?

next....

I've promised dear Bob that I would make him some shirts....

He's been waiting a good 15 years....

I found a pattern...almost two years ago

(I have to plan these things...I can not be rushed..lol)

and  I thought...

it's Now or Never!

Bob sports Hawaiian shirts - they are his uniform of the day.

This authentic Hawaiian pattern by 

Victoria Jones Collections

is just perfect!

I chose some cute Wilmington Prints Christmas fabric because....

well let's be real for a minute...

I knew I would HAVE to FINISH this project for the hop!

If I had made a non-seasonal themed shirt first for practice...

what were the Odds that I would

Really

make another shirt in time for the holidays?

(if you guessed pretty slim odds...then you really DO know me)

Ta-Da!!!

Isn't he a cutie???

Take a closer look now...

the picture qual is not great....

but...

...can YOU find the Pocket?

(am I good or what...and oh so humble too)

Here's that Boy Toy Spouse of mine...

getting into the Holiday Spirit...

Wow...his Jag Santa hat matches Perfectly!!!

We have a holiday party next week at the

Everbank Field with our Jaguars Booster Club...

He WILL wear the shirt!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

But then....

before the shirt was finished...

guess what arrived at the shop on Tuesday?

(as in 3 days ago)

Lookie look look!

from Camelot Fabrics! 

(Talk about Perfect timing! They are the sponsor for this blog hop you know...

wonder if this earns me some brownie points? lol)

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN

Would I?

Could I?

Did I Dare?

Do you really have to ask?

Are you ready?

I would....I could...and I did!

Lounging pants for the Spouse.

(thank goodness he wore his un-holey socks...haha)

And now for the full Boy Toy Monty....

(not for the faint of heart - *giggles*)

Don't worry...he's rated PG

(Pretty Great *wink*)

LOL...made ya look, right?

Don't be misled....

Boy Toy Bob does have pretty good fashion sense

and won't be wearing the two together...

out in public...

at least I hope not...

Thanks for stopping by and please visit

Happy Birthday Dear Spouse

Disciplined, Dependable, Hard working, 

Trustworthy, Persistent, Loyal, 

Calm, Patient, Honest

Agreed!
That's my loving Spouse to a "T"

I made him a virtual cake

and left it on his Facebook wall early this morning.

Yeh...a LOT of candles!

(Don't worry Bob, I won't tell just HOW many)

Let's just say....

Bob is...

I'm so glad he has a Good Sense of Humor!

For his B'day Celebration...

We took a little trip down the road to the

Starke Strawberry Festival.

I bought him his b'day present....

Boiled Peanuts!

Do I go all out or what?

Ok...truth be told....

he paid for them himself..lol

Bob thought he would treat himself to a 

Birthday afternoon of lawn mowing when we returned home...

(it's the Taurus in him...
that disciplined, hardworking thing)

but it rained...

so back in the house he came...

and I 'let him' clean the strawberries...

with a little wine...
 - a pretty good party game!

He also helped me clean out the fridge...

and we made a HUGE pot of soup

It really looks better in person...

trust me...

the steam kept fogging up the camera lens

(or maybe it was the smoke from ALL those candles on his cake)

There will be Crab Legs, baked potato & salad tonight

to go along with the soup...

and Strawberry Shortcake for dessert....

and we're looking forward to a
Hallmark Movie 'date' at 9.

Yikes...maybe we ARE getting OLD...
I saw this last night on a Google search...
and eegads...
I really understand it now!

No wonder no one asks me to be
their 'party planner'...lol!

Happy Birthday Spouse!!!
