HAPPY 4TH!!! I need a break!

Happy 4th of July everyone! See I haven't forgot about my blog... just been busier than I have EVER been in the summer...

Heehee! My little garden helper....
Ok! I couldn't resist, now seriously.... I have managed to crochet quite a bit during my son's Jiu Jitsu classes that last an hour and he takes 2 or 3 times a week!
This little pullover vest was super fast and really easy. Made using some cool Japanese yarn that I would have never been able to afford... and it was still expensive on sale! But it made me feel better that it was on sale ;) And I got to tell The Bald Man I bought the yarn on sale...
Know what I mean???? lol!



I have been sewing... I made a beautiful dress by draping that I need to picture. Otherwise I've just been making lots of basics... 4 tanks, 2 tees and 2 yoga pants.... I'm going to do some lite weight cropped jackets too.... For my....
" 'Round the house yoga/walking Wardrobe" My 'round the house wear was looking kinda sad. So I thought it was time to make some cute stuff that I could wear to do yoga in, go walking and look decent wearing in case I need to go to the door for a package or something!! I'm making some yoga 'gear' too!

Now Just look at The Bald Man's little terrace corn field! In between the rows he also has different squash planted and beans that are growing up the corn stalks! Its his FIRST garden ever! I think he's a natural!


My garden is doing fabulous too... EXCEPT my tomatoes.... they got Early Blight so all had to go!
But thats ok... I've got TONS of cucumbers, squash, zucchini, onions... even some blueberries!!!! ... and lots more on the way!!!
All my herbs are huge... I love using fresh herbs in my cooking!




I'll try not to be so slack this month! I really do have alot I would like to show all my blog buddies out there!
Y'all have a great 4th and a great weekend!
God bless you and Stay Safe!!!!!!!

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 ...
