New year, new things to tat:)

New year, new things to tat. I'm starting Jane's tat it and see (tias) challenge. This is day 1 tias. Have no guess as to what it will be yet, but can't wait to see what it will be.

We start our vacation tomorrow:)

Well it is finally here, vacation! I've been so busy getting things in order, forgot about my blog here. I am all packed and ready to go LOL. 7days and six nites away at sea (ya!) Will be worrying about my mother in law and sister who both will be having surgerys done while i am gone but will be in my prayers. Will take lots of pictures to show everyone, be back in a weeks time;0 hugs to everyone out there.

Have been away to long from this blog:(

Have been very busy lately with cakes, baby shower and birthdays!

This speical one for my niece Lily, a doll cake she wanted. She just turned 6 years old. And is very speical to me:)

I also just got a new baby bird, a parrolet (a cross between a parrot and a parrakeet) small and a vibrant blue color. She only tweets under her breath right now but am waiting for that first chirp. LOL Will post a picture of her later. Still looking for a name for her, but am leaning towards Poppy.

Well looking forward to my cruise in Oct. we have 46 days until we leave! Still have to buy clothes and a bathing suit:( but still excited!

Haven't tatted anything lately due to poking my eye with a pair of tweezers, the silliest thing i have every done! But i have a long list of things to get started on tatting.

(x-mas presents for one)

Well until later hope everyone has a nice week!

Hot, hot, hot summer days!

Good morning! just went for a walk with my dogs outside, and boy is it hot (8 a.m.) we could only walk 1 acre. The dogs were looking for shade, so they will just have to settle on watching me walk on the treadmill in side. LOL

On the health side of life, i have a sister - in - law who was just told her husband has 6months to a year to live! I just don't know how anyone can wrap there mind around being told this?
I will be there for her, through her ordeal and try to support her with her decisions she has to make. (a little prayer please:)

Well i am tatting again after a short break (son came to visit) i have baby booties to tat, and i will be tatting Jane's lanyard, Betty jo sent to me. A very interesting piece, i think. There is a bead in side of a split ring. Just beautiful, will post a picture later.

Hope everyone has a good week. Bless everyone:)

mini vacation:)

Good morning all, had a wonderful weekend! Yard sales not so great all i could find was a cookbook and a baby pool for my dogs. The weather is just so HOT and the afternoon showers just pass us by, so my babies have to cool off somehow.

I am already looking forward the this coming weekend as far me and daughter Kelly are leaving friday to go to Austin to pick up my son Jeremy for a visit. It is his birthday on Monday July 19, he will be 28 years old. (but still my baby) how does anyone let go of that? He will return to Austin on Wednesday, he has to get back to work. So a short visit will have to do:)



Tatting this week, i have several projects going on at once. A large yellow cross, a pair of baby booties, and a little motif i found in a book i liked so much. Looking forward to bringing this with me to Austin!



Well not much to say hope i have pictures of my short trip to show, have a nice week everyone!
