Been Tagged! Twice!!!

So I've been tagged by Faye and Kimbree !!! To name seven weird or unknown facts about me....

Lets see.....

1. I can't decide what hair color to be lol!!! Over the last year I've been red, red with blond, auburn, light blond and now dark brown.... I think I drive my hair stylist crazy!!! I've been like this for years!!!

2. I like cleaning stuff out and getting rid of stuff ..... But I hate everyday cleaning.

3. I am crazy happy and so proud that my son is musical!!!! He plays guitar, dulcimer and some piano, some banjo. He has even wrote some of his own music... not bad for 14!

4. I think its awesome that my Bald Man is half Panamanian!!! Awesome and hot!!!

5. I'm fascinated with polygamy.... every since that HBO series Big Love!!! I can't believe some women share their man, their kids AND their kitchen!!! Crazy!!!

6. I love sewing!!!!! Its such a passion... and I really love to see people wearing things I made them! I always feel so honored when someone hires me to make them something!

7. I owe it all to God! I truly believe without him I couldn't do anything! I think him for all my many blessings and skills!!

Now I'm supposed to name other bloggers to do the same.. but I'm just gonna say.. if you're reading this and feel like you want to share... go for it!

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 ...
