May Lovely Year Of Finishes Goal

This month, I am really going to finish Park Ranger Fiance's Civil War quilt.

I have almost all of the hand quilting of the blocks done and then just have to do the outer border in some simple fashion.

I. Will. Get. It. Done.

Also because now that we're engaged its going to be MY quilt too, as of October 12th. :)

Linking up with A Lovely Year of Finishes!

Something Completely Different

Happy belated Valentine's Day, everyone!

I ended up being kind of distracted this weekend starting Thursday night and didn't get much of a chance to touch my sewing and this picture should explain why:

He put a ring on it!

Park Ranger Boyfriend and I are ENGAGED! (Correction: Park Ranger Fiance and I are engaged.)

I came home from work on Thursday and he had come in for the weekend and gave me a Valentine to read and then told me to turn it over. On the back it said "Alison, will you marry me?" and when I looked at him he was on his knee with the ring box open! I was totally and completely surprised!

We are so excited and so astonished with the outpouring of well-wishes from all of our friends and family!
