Everyone have a great day.

2011-07-15T12:32:00.000-07:00

Look what came in the mail yesterday. Three workbasket from Teresa Fox and I won one of Diane Shuttles. Thanks two both I love them. I have been tatting but it all needs to be blocked and on some the ends need worked in.

I am still around. First there was getting everything put just in my name. That is after I got my self alive again. They had me dead instead of him. So they canceled my SS, my insurance ect. Which I had to make a trip to the SS office to get myself back to the living.

I have been trying to catch up on the last two and a half years work. I have been painting, had the rest of the drive replaced, and then there is all of the little repairs that had to be done. I do most of them. Also have cleaned and caulked a dozen windows and still have at least three more to do.

Then there is all of the yard work. I have been pulling weed everyday when it is not to hot to be out or raining. I have more then one flower bed, One is very large, today it is in the 90 with a heat index of 100. And it is going to be hotter then that for almost all of next week.

I have also put in about 30 years of genealogy. Which was started before all of us had computers. Think of a stack of papers about three and a half feet tall. I only have a few pages left to do. All of it goes in the recycle ben. Enough of that.

I am going to try and post more often.

Look What I Found

2010-08-28T15:34:00.000-07:00

I was cleaning out a some old things that had belonged to my husband mother that I just put away and never got back too. When I put this away I never even looked into it till the other day. I figured it had old letter or card that belonged his his grandmother. Look at what was in the box.

A tatting book and two shuttles which had to belong to his grandmother because his mother did any kind of craft at all.

Then there are some patterns that she had cut out .

More patterns she had in the box.

2009-12-15T10:01:00.000-08:00

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This is my Great Grandson Aracin and his dog Boomer. It took him for ever to get the dog to leave on the reindeer ears on. He is the one who plays with my tatting. I have been tatting and just don't have the time to post it right now.
Right now I need to mix up some peanut butter cookies up so he can bake them tonight. As you can see the coffee table is a mess, he likes to drew a lot and that is where he like to do it.

Lots of Snow

2009-12-09T06:59:00.001-08:00

No tatting for now but we do have lots and lots of snow. This is from the front deck. I know there is a street out there. It is still snowing and starting to blow it all around. Nothing much is moving here. No bus's, cabs. a lot of business are shut down.

Here is what it look like from our front deck this is out driveway. So you know what I am going to be doing later tonight after it quits snowing. The fence is 4 ft. high so going to take a while to move all of the snow. Since he had surgery (hope that is spelled right) he cannot help with it. I am afred he will rip out his stichs.

I hope everyone else who lives in the rest of Iowa and anywhere else who is getting this snow storm is doing ok.

I do have a question. I brought a tatting book in the middle of Nov. which has never arrived. I have e-mailed her twice about it and have not heard back from her. Should I e-mail her again, before I contact paypal about getting it resolved?

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas

No tating

2009-03-08T19:04:00.001-07:00

I never did get to tat this week. But I did get to be out side a couple of day and get some yard work done.

2009-03-01T16:24:00.000-08:00

Here is the forth day of the TIAS. Hope it is right. I had to take some of it out and wind the dark green shuttle. Ran out of thread.

This is from 12 Tatted Fairy-Tales by Inga Madsen. Love this book. Just had to use some color on this one.

Here is some of the shuttles , Hook and pick , and a needle case. I took all of these to the Kindergarten class. They are studying things that are make out of wood. I even took some of the tatting to school so they would know what they are used for. I took the green butterfly thatI posted earlier. It didn't come home one of the parents wanted it so I gave it to her.

Two if the shuttles are from the shuttle brothers. Other I got off of e-bay.

This is a coon that come sometimes during the winter to eat some bread that is put out earlier for the birds. This was taken through the kitchen window, so it is not real clear. He or she is very large.

Upper left is Split Ring Motif 3 by the ( shuttle brothers) worked in size 30 I think I was using up thread from another project. Which I didn't finish. The Snowflake I am not sure who's pattern it is. The thread is HDT I think by yarnplayer. I think the butterfly is from Sherry Tatted Butterflies book.

The Rooster is body is done in Kitty Gritty by Marilee (yarnplayer) . Not sure why the beck and feet did not come out yellow. The pattern is by Christel Weidmann

I did these with Sherry(ladyshuttlemaker) Coffee n Cream. Sorry the picture is not better. I had a problem with my photo program. Took me more then two hours to get it taken care of. So now I have a head ache. It will go away in a little while now that my problem is taken care of.

This was done in either Sherry (ladyshuttlemaner) or Marille (yarnplayerstats) hand died thread. Lost the tag that was on them Aracin my great-grandson likes to play with my tatting, and yes I do let him. He has almost a zoo to play with. :-)

All of the patterns by Christel Weidmann. I hope are done right, I don't read German and the diagram are not marked real good and it is hard to keep track of where you are in the pattern. I do love her patterns.
