Angels I have made...

These angels are made from some Southmaid size 10 and the cream ones are made in DMC size 30. I have had the pattern (By Teri Dusenbury) for some time but just didn't get around to making them until now. They do not look so good right off the needle but when stiffened they take on their true form. I'll count them as Motif #19. And they did not take long to make.

Not like my next angel I'm going to show you.

This angel is still a work in progress. I started this one about 14 years ago with help (of course) from my hubby. A true labour of love. I can not believe he will be off to high school this September. This picture was taken just before his Graduation night. Time goes much to fast.

I've been away to long....

Hi Everyone

WOW what a few months. On my last posting I reported I was having trouble with my hiatus hernia. Well it turns out it was not that but I was having a month and half of gall bladders attacks. I ended up with emergency surgery on May 9th to have the gall gladder out but of course things did not stop there. While the gall bladder was being removed 7 stones tried to get away and I ended up in a second hospital, two days after the surgery to have the escapees removed. A total of 3 days in hospital and missed out on Mother's Day too. Can't blame the doctor for the run away stones I just found out that there were over 200 stones in my gall bladder in total. OUGH!!!!!! But now I much better and been busy tatting and doing a little knitting too.

This is motif #18 I have taken a picture frame pattern and worked it into a necklace that is V necked. I do not usually make things for myself but with a anniversary dance and my sons grad. coming up I wanted something nice for me to wear. And with what I've been though I deserve it.
Right???!!!???

Feeling better and ready to tat!!!!!

Hi everyone. I know it has been some time between blogs but I must say I have a good reason. First my boss ended up in hospital with a kidney stone that took over 4 days to get rid of. I sat with her at our local hospital for 2 days then they decided to sent her a different hospital where they blasted the stone.

After her recovery, it was my turn to end up in hospital. My poor husband thought I was trying to be funny on April 1st, waking him at 4 am to take me into the hospital. I'm funny but not that funny. My hiatus hernia is giving me much trouble and I still do not know when things will truly be back to normally. I'm seeing my doctor this week and a specialist in June.

As you can see I did get a little tatting done between hospital visits. This is my first try at tatting with two colours of thread. It is an edge pattern from a reprint book of Anne Orr. This I'm counting as motif #17.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO T (AND ME)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO T(AND ME)

T is the nickname we gave our son. He was and still is the best birthday gift I have ever received. Love you buddy. Mom

I'm here, I'm here!!!!

Hello Everyone!!! Yes I'm still here. Been very busy with projects and helping with a friend who ended up in hospital will kidney stones. Ouch!!!

First I must say that I.... (I mean my son) received an A+ on the plant cell project. Yay!!!!!


Last night I was talking to a tatting friend and she was thanking me for a card I sent to her for Spring. It had a garden fence with flowers and a Celtic butterfly on it. And it got me thinking that I did not have anything for St. Patty's Day. So I took the link chain rings from the center of the butterfly and added dimples to them and came up with these Celtic clover leafs. This was the first time I have done dimples. They are made in DMC size 30 and make a nice pair of earrings.





You may think your seeing this again but it is only the center you seeing again. It is from my motif #8. I have taken this and added to it. I added 16 of the mini motifs and added an outer edge to finish is off. I'm very happy how it turned out. Here's hoping my sister-in-law likes it. It's going to be one of her birthday gifts.

What we do for our kids....

Ladies and Gentlemen The Incredible Edible Plant Cell!!!!!! This was my sons science project about the plant cell. The doughnut hole is the nucleus, the icing is the cell wall and the baked outer crust is the cell membrane etc... It was fun doing the project with him. Soon he will be in high school and not need me anymore. OHHHH! Now I'm sad, I think I need to eat some cake!!!LOL
