My son and grand children ...

She had a bit of a bumpy start, but here's my granddaughter Sweet Mary.  Born Sept. 10, 2013

7/27/2013

I have a new grandchild due mid September, a little girl this time.  

11-11-11

Hello all. The date today is the reason I am posting.  I can't believe it's been since January since my last post.  I will try soon to get a little more caught up.  God Bless and Godspeed.

I'm finally getting around to posting a pic of my grandson.  He was/is a big boy and already ornery!  He doesn't like his diaper changed or having his clothes changed!  It's going to be interesting to see what that translates into when he gets older.  It's so cool being a grandmother.

This last pic is my son holding his son.  It just about makes me cry every time I see it. This, to me, is the epitome of love.  

Happy New Year.  What an awesome date- 1/1/11 I couldn't pass up posting and wishing everyone a prosperous new year.  God Bless and Godspeed.

I have 3 sons, and my oldest son and his wife are expecting- my first grandchild- sometime around Christmas. We know it's a boy. I am soooooo excited!!  

 

Sharing some pics of my Optimara violets.  I'm getting back to letting my thumb turn green again.  My house had such wide eaves that I wasn't able to grow many flowers other than in my kitchen window.  Now I have oodles of light and I'm excited to get back into flowers.  I'm going to go slow and add a little at a time but it's hard to wait with so many gorgeous flowers out there.   

On April 26th my husky had four beautiful puppies. I will post a pic soon- my camera has been acting up. I have a black and white female Siberian Husky and a silver and white Siberian Husky male parents. They had two girls and two boys. The one that looks exactly like the mother is a male and the one that looks exactly like the dad is a female! Funny how that works out. The other two are a silver gray and one is a cream and white, she is going to be the hardest to let go. I was hoping for a solid white one and the cream one will turn a very soft silver- almost white. I can't keep one but it is sooooo very tempting. I *love* puppies but they are sure a lot of work . . . and they eventually grow into adults! I will certainly enjoy them (and spoil them rotten) for as long as I can.

Hello everyone,
I haven't been posting tatting lately, but I am still struggling along- albeit slowly. I will be offline for the next 2 weeks or so and I will miss reading everyone's blogs. Stay safe and I look forward to getting back. God Bless and Godspeed! Love you guys!

Thank you Diane for steering us to the Rainbow test site. I had a little trouble getting it to copy the rainbow itself. Maybe the computer has never seen a rainbow like this before!! LOL! I too *love* rainbows. They have served as a sign of affirmation, strength, and joy many times in my life.

New Look

I have been admiring people's new look on their blogs and decided to give it a try myself. I found out that I have lots and lots to learn about my blog! A lot of things I was doing manually with each post. I'll be playing around with the format until I get it the way I want it. So far so good. I've posted Itkupilli's website on the sidebar.

OK, that just might do it. woohoo! I DID it!!

Hemp Jewelry

I'm learning how to make jewelry. Nothing grand mind you. I've starting out by learning to make a hemp choker using a square knot. The book I'm using is called "Making Beautiful Hemp and Bead Jewelry" by Mickey Baskett and this is the 1st project in the book. The hemp is a variegated tan color and I think it makes it look dirty so it'll probably be delegated to being a core thread for future projects. (This really makes the fingers sore! . . . and very time consuming also, well starting out for me anyway.)

HDT

The top left one is supposed to be mauve, blue, and white, then sky blue and below green, yellow and white silk HDT. These are after the wash and rinse.

Who would you be in 1400 AD?

LOL!! I just took the personality test I saw on Tatting Chic's page and I am a scoundrel!! I started off saying I liked to wear worn comfortable clothes and somehow ended up in the lap of luxury!! Don't I wish! LOL! Thank you Tatting Chic, this made my day!!
