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!!

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...

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 ...
