Boquete, Panama!!

Hello from Boquete, Panama!!!!
This is such an amazing place... the scenery is like nothing I've ever seen... the place we're staying.. is wow!!! Check me and Brian out below having breakfast in this open air dinning area. Alot of places here are open air... there is no need for air conditioning or heating. There's a reason this place is called the city of eternal spring! I can't really say this is our view from our little round house.. its more like we're surrounded by these views!
Here's our little round house!

We are having a wonderful... beautiful time! This place is amazing.... below, one of the many streams running around town. There are also so many rivers here!!!! In this tiny little town they even have a fabric store, which carries mostly cottons. I have seen 2 of these sewing machines for sale here!! And I have bought 3 sewing magazines with patterns right off the shelf from a pharmacy.. more on them later....The fruits here are unbelievable! Bananas growing everywhere... oranges, papaya, passion fruit.. and some fruits I don't know... but I'm going to try them!!! These fruits below were $1.50....
Yep.... more views from our round house... the whole town is surrounded by picture perfect views like this!
Brain at the breakfast house!

We have so many more pics... so more later!!!!

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 ...

Gardens, Costumes and a sad swap

Lovely, beautiful... ahhh, yes... my garden is finally done!!!! After much drama with landscapers... I have a gorgeous garden!!! And below, all sweaty and dirtier than I've ever seen him, is the wonderful Bald Man who thought up the landscape plan... dealt with the hateful "I'm retiring in 2 weeks!" landscaper... and he even put in a soaker hose watering system! Yep, I sure do love my man! Wasn't it nice of the landscaper to leave ALL this compost all over my back yard... a pile of it! What a mess! But, Bald Man is shoveling it up so Brian can put it on the little garden spot up front and so I can use it for more garden projects I have in mind! So its all good!! Here's a not so happy moment... remember on Swap-bot.com how much fun I had when I received my swap??? Jackie went through so much trouble to make sure I had things I would like... the black poodle beanie baby (y'all know I love my poodle babies) sparkly rhinestones I can use for costumes, a pa...
