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!!!

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...

New Machine!!! and getting organized!

Here's my new baby... The babylock cover stitch machine!!! It runs quite, sews like a dream... For those of you who follow my blog you know I have the Babylock Evolve which has cover stitch abilities.. but I have to convert it.. and I'm lazy. I sew ALOT of knits!! So with the money I made off of a couple of costumes I bought this! And its love!!!! Adding a new machine means re-organizing my sewing rooms to make it work... so my stash got re organized too... check out how neat it looks now!! Actually we're re organizing alot of the rooms in our house... here's the Bald Man in his new office! LOL!!! You can't even walk in there! Also.. I joined the Sew Craft Blog ! I'm in group three and looking forward to meeting new seamstresses and fiber artists!

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...

Handworks Crochet and then Some!
