Yes, I hope Ernie can be your forever dog. Cute little one surrounded by a world of squares. Oh my what a traumatic experience for your daughter, Terriamn. And Ibex, you have been pushing forward to the finish. Take a breath and plan for the next Boom.
I have picked out my fabric, and picked up a book of 12" blocks on a give away table yesterday. This should add more variety to my blocks for the next Boom Swap. Now, off to a Big Box store for one small item and several thousand steps of exercise.
