Sonja's Dance Party at Mirage!

Last night I actually did not have to dance! But the Bald Man and I still went to Mirage to see the only lovely dancer who works there, Sonja. She looked extra cute and danced so pretty!!
And... she got a great party started for all the costumers!!! As you will see below...
Check it out... my favorite Arabic dancing boy.. ofcourse he was there last night!

Sonja danced ALOT!!! She made me very tired...

Here she is in her gold and green costume

doing the electric slide to Arabic music!!! of all things...

Why are you laughing so hard Sonja???

Her dance instructor Alexia and her husband Stan, the wise man, were there having fun!!! They even get up and show us some moves later to some reggaton fusion music!!! I have a great pic of Alexia smoking the hookah too... but didn't know if she would want me to post it!!

Nancy's here giving us some electric slide action!!! Which let me just say Nancy is a fabulously fun lady!!!

Then we have Rachel, she's the red head with her eyes closed below!! Every pic I took of Rachel she has her eyes closed! Rachel is also fabulous.. I don't know how she does it.... 5 children under the age of 7!!!

I'm doing good to handle my 1 son!

And look at her... she had her twins not so long ago... she looks amazing and has a great personality and spirit... even if she is a hater!

Then we have Sonja in another pic... still not sitting down!!!

doing the Debka dance!!

It was a great night... The Bald Man and I had a wonderful time watching Sonja's show and enjoying all the good energy that was around us....

A Great Weekend!

The Bald Man and I had a fantastic weekend! Friday we just kinda hung around the house.. watched a movie. Saturday was 'going out' night! We went couple of places and then ended up at the Mirage. Its been awhile since I've been there but we told Rach we would come see her dance. Here she is to the right in a bra and belt I made which looks great on her!! I hate to say it but I really don't like watching bellydancers after all the years of dancing myself and watching them. I find it boring... unless the dancer has what I call the "it" factor. Let me tell ya! Rach has the "it" factor! She sparkles and grows when she dances. Most people can learn to dance... but not everyone shines when they do it. I'll be back to see Rach dance again! Below we have a pic of Capt. Bald Man! Yesterday we took one of the boats out for a joy ride on Lake Loudon. We had fun... and some surprises along the way!! It was a beautiful day to be on the lake!!! Next Sunda...

New Machine!!! and getting organized!

Here's my new baby... The babylock cover stitch machine!!! It runs quite, sews like a dream... For those of you who follow my blog you know I have the Babylock Evolve which has cover stitch abilities.. but I have to convert it.. and I'm lazy. I sew ALOT of knits!! So with the money I made off of a couple of costumes I bought this! And its love!!!! Adding a new machine means re-organizing my sewing rooms to make it work... so my stash got re organized too... check out how neat it looks now!! Actually we're re organizing alot of the rooms in our house... here's the Bald Man in his new office! LOL!!! You can't even walk in there! Also.. I joined the Sew Craft Blog ! I'm in group three and looking forward to meeting new seamstresses and fiber artists!

Tunisian and Tapestry crochet on the hooks

It seems that no matter what or how many projects I have going one is always Tunisian and one is always a tapestry or fair isle type with color changes or pictures. I love this tapestry handbag. It’s going to be The perfect bag for October!! The pattern was included in a booklet that cane with a Simply Crochet magazine from the UK. It’s eating a lot of yarn so Caron one pound yarn is perfect! Cause there’s a lot of it and it’s an easy care for acrylic. Handbags tend to get thrown around a lot so washable with all this white is super important when I was choosing a yarn. I’ll be adding a liner too. And pockets .. I can not have a bag without inside pockets! For oh so long I’ve wanted to try the double hook Tunisian technique. I have Lily Chins dvd on it but she’s way over my head at this point! This simple pattern is in Interweave crochet magazine fall 2018. Great pattern to get started with! The Bavarian blanket is still on a hook and will be a long time because ...

Handworks Crochet and then Some!
