I can't believe its 2010.... goals, goals



Another year..... 2010... I can't believe it! Above is a short video of where the Bald Man and I spent New Years Eve... Blind Willie's.... it was a great show!

A year in review! GOALS....

Now this year I didn't do as well on my goal list as 2008.... my goals changed from the first of the year... here's how it goes

Goal #1. Make an LBD..... I did... Long Black Dress. My LBD It just so happened when I got in the mood to make a LBD creativity was calling me to do something with my pfaff Grand Floral cd.... and I did ;)

Goal #2 Make Chanel Jacket..... nope.... this goal was put aside when I saw this My Chanel Knock off outfit I HAD to make it.

Goal #3 Make a travel wardrobe..... yes and no,,, I didn't make the travel wardrobe I had in mind when I wrote this goal.. I made 3 mini wardrobes this year... but the travel wardrobe turned into what I call the "weekend getaway wardrobe" I knew we wouldn't get to take a long vacation when Bald man started his new business... so a weekend getaway wardrobe made more sense.

Goal #4 Make something for Bald Man once a month.... nope... Sorry Honey! I think I made up for it with his Christmas present I made him though... Pics of that coming very soon....

Goal #5 Learn to paint silk.... instead of buying supplies for this I bought jewelry making supplies.. my wardrobe was in major need of updating there!! I made alot of pieces I'm very happy with! Even knocked off a Betsey Johnson piece I had my eye on.... I know I didn't post pics sorry...

Goal #6 Learn to crochet... boy did I ever! I'm addicted... got 2 projects going right now! Made countless crochet towels, doilies... make sweaters, shawls, boleros... even a purse and a coat.. I know again didn't post all my pics.....

Goal #7 Make stuff for Charity.... nope I didn't :( but I gave money!! I even started back bellydancing some so I could give extra.

Goal #8 Make 1 BWOF project each month.... nope and I didn't renew my subscription... which ended in April. I realized when faced with the challenge of having to sew from it enough to make it worth that expensive subscription price that I LOVE to look at BWOF... more than I like to sew from it... now I browse through it at BAM...

Goal #9 Make bound button holes... hahaha... left over from 08 goals! Still no!

Goal #10 Study Bible more... yes I did.

I'm not sure I'm really going to have goals this year... except I want to learn to use my machines better... I have all these great machines that can do so much more than put something together. And ofcourse I'll always have the goal of getting to know Jesus better.... thats just an everyday thing !

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 ...

The accidental costume coming right along......

Ok! I didn't mean to start this costume. I meant to finish my Fire costume first but...I needed to make a 'muslin' for my holiday skirt though... and I thought I would make it out of this beautiful stretch velvet fabric I got from Gail K's back in the summer... and so a costume is born!!!! Just check out the color combos on this. I'm styling it after a Sahar costume. And so now... I can go ahead with Project Holiday Outfit too... the fit of this skirt is divine! I'll be making it again and again!

The "Panama Dress"!

Here is my "Panama Dress" from fabric I bought in... yes Panama! Its actually a skirt and top but it does look like a dress. No pattern, all draped. The skirt is made up of 4 separate long triangle panels that are that are rounded at the bottom. There's ALOT of movement in the skirt. The top is a fitted band around the waist and the top bust part is only attached in the back and at the sides so the bust part makes a pretty drape and I could get the waist part super tight and fitted. I hand knit the belt out of some beautiful copper yarn I got up in Philly and attached it to the skirt. The purse is some fabric I got at the sewing expo last year and is covered in tiny black poodles. It draws up at the top and through a little black crocheted doily I made that I covered in crystals. The pattern for the purse is called Circle Purse and I can't remember the designer!!! Someone asked me where I bought this dress when I wore it out last Tues. and yes I beamed when I said ...
