Its been awhile!

Be warned! This is a long post since its been forever since I've posted anything on either of my blogs! I have actually finished 2 dresses but here is the one I was making for church on the right... I love it! It came out super nice... not to low in the front.... and it was easy! Yay! New Look patterns!

See I have been sewing! Just not taking pics and posting often enough!



And a New Look purse... Love it too... Brocade and a great snake skin vinyl I got up in Boston!



In other news.... My son got a hair cut! Trust me... this is news!



And here he is on the left holding little 2-Pac... and 2-pac is wearing pants... lol! My lil' pac does love to wear clothes but this was to much!






Some purple roses from Bald Man here on the right...
See... the sweetest man ever! He surprised me with these the other day... no reason... just because!





New Member of the family!!!!! This below is our new chinchilla Powder. Isn't she beautiful???

Now Laura over at SewatSea surprised me last week with a package she secretly sent to the Bald Mans store...


Just look at this gorgeous fabric to the left she sent me!!!
Just waiting to be a costume!! Its extra sparkly and should be envied by other bellydancers pretty easily...



If you've followed my blog from time to time you'll see me get ahold of very large pants.. cut them apart and make new jeans for myself... For this to work I need really big pants... Well Laura sent me some REALLY big pants! Check out my son holding them up here... yep, I'm pretty sure I can get a pair of pants and a purse outta these if I want!
THANK YOU LAURA!!!! You made my day last week...
seeing as how I received her package the evening I got the terrible swap!!

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 ...

Happy Days & Hard Work!

Hope everyone had a fabulous New Years Eve! We had a very nice one... got all dressed up and went to the 5 course dinner event at Chez Liberty... SO GOOD! I even tried a little dish with 'sweetbreads' and had NO ideal what they were... but it was so good after I found out what they were I didn't even care! Now how many people out there know what they are??? Was I alone at not knowing??? Then we Had a bottle of bubbles... And then, I admit, came home at 11 and went to bed! I was asleep before 12!! and it makes me feel like an old fuddy duddy ! haha !! But who cares! I was all dressed up in a dress that took me 3 weeks to make with a crochet bolero that took like a month!I love wearing this dress and rarely have an occasion for it.... besides I had to get up early the next morning... And face things like this...... at our farm to be.... Now this is actually Sunday when my wonderful parents and niece Brittany stopped by to help.. but the day before it was just me and the...

I get new tops, the Bald Man gets a shirt!

Below is Burda 8116. A super easy tank top with a wrap topper. The pants are from BWOF. This was such an easy pattern!!! I made the below tank and topper in an hour... seriously! Ofcourse I must say having a cover stitch machine greatly speeds up sewing knits. In fact the day after I made these... I made 2 more tanks, another topper.... and the below view from the same pattern... a simple mock wrap top. The jeans were made last year from a pattern I copied from rtw. Anyways for those of you looking for a quick project... gotta get this pattern! Below here is NL 6429. It was easy too.... I actually made this last fall and never got to wear it... I wore it last night to Latino night at the Fairbanks.... good times! I wouldn't mind making another dress like this in some less 'fancy' fabric. Another shirt for my Bald Man... this was his B-day present... made once again using that wonderful Islander pattern. I embroidered a cross on the pocket... Some crosses on the sleeve... A...
