More pics from our Holiday Vacation

Above pic, me at Gail K's in Atlanta

We started off our trip in Atlanta for New years which I've already posted about... then it was down to Orlando for another 7 days... then we came back up to Atlanta for another night andmade a stop at Gail K's , which wasn't super fun because I only bought fabric for my son's blazer and a client

Anyways... below is a pic of Church Street in Orlando. A fun part of town that I never knew existed!

Now here's a bad thing.... after dinner, and watching the half game (FL/OK game) at the fabulous and my new favorite restaurant, Ceviche, we wonder across the street to a sports bar... kinda.

The shoes were on the bar... for drinks????? eeewwwww!!!!

I am really not having a good time here.... at this point me n' the Bald Man realized we were in a gay sports bar!!! I didn't even really know there was such a thing... but we thought something was... different about the place... we knew there was something different when Tim Tebow was on TV giving his famous 'I'm sorry and we'll never loose another game' speech... and some guy yelled "take your pants off"... TIME TO GO!!!!!

No offense to anyone out there but this just wasn't the place for us to enjoy the game!

So we went back to Ceviche and finished watching the game there!!

Here we are at Ceviche enjoying the game... with out all the 'extra' comments yelled at the TV!

Ha!!

This pic below was taken in Atlanta. We were going to see the Bald Man's nephew at VIA, the restaurant he runs. I'm wearing one of my most favorite outfits I made last year!

Ofcourse in Orlando we found a Arabic restaurant with Hookah's! mmmm.... Double Apple!

My dessert without calories!

Below is a video from Ceviche.... after the game we went next door and watched this wonderful Spanish band!!! They were really good! Toward the end of this video a Spanish dancer performs a short dance... very pretty!!!

Next post will be on my FINISHED crochet scarf!, my next crochet project and a lovely gift my

great aunt sent me!

Tomorrow... back to work! I have several seamstress jobs I have to get started on!!!

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 ...

Super squares Saturday: Hobobag and Tunisian sampler squares

Granny square project!! Who loves squares projects?? So easy so versatile for so many different items. Recently in a Facebook group I saw they had started a square along project.. any kind of squares! Being primarily a crocheter I immediately think of the granny square but I don't feel like a granny square blanket... so I disregard starting anything but then I see someone making granny squares for a tote!!! And well,, I always want need a new bag! Perfect! I remembered some cute bags in magazines I have ( I'm hopelessly addicted to magazines!) and here it is. From the magazine For the love of crochet , My squares project.. A hobo bag!! How stinking cute is this bag!? And so simple..Blue denim color yarn with off white and brown tweed yarns! Perfect bag for fall or winter.. should it take me that long to get it done. The holidays tend to slow down 'all about me' projects! I have 8 more white squares to make then I can start the flowers. Need to find th...

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...
