Pizza Lounge visit

 Heres my sweet Teacup in all her glory. Shes very bossy and rules this nest with an iron fist if she had a fist! But all she can wield is a tiny little paw.

 OOOO this was so very good, Its Meatballs and mash potatoes, with pizza sauce on it all. The meatballs melted in my mouth. The beer was a nice brew very light with peach tones I dint order it Terry did and he really liked it. Im taking my niece Julie and her hubby along with my mom to their afternoon bash on Thursday.

Heres a view of the Pizza Lounge it is so pretty and very clean. I loved it there I cant wait to go back. Im hoping to go Thursday because they have specials after 4 pm till 7 pm. a lot of 5.00 specials and 2 dollars off beers and wines. Any excuse for a nice glass of wine.

doilies from June and July 2013

 Tada here it is my very lovely July CAL that I did with Stitchy McFloss. It was a little touch and go there but with her help I finished the doily. Im so happy I did It turned out lovely don't you all think?

 This little doily I made in the middle of Junes CAL and Julys CAL its really cute I think. Was thinking of making it a lot bigger but now Im having second thoughts

Heres my Crinoline lady. I started it a about three days ago and I struggled with the beginning but its taking shape now. I was hoping it would be smaller but its what it is. Im using a size 13 hook and size 40 thread. I suppose I could have used a size 20 thread but Ive begun so now this is what it is. Ill keep you all posted.

1952 Chair Doily Set

 Heres pics of my next doily set. I bought 2 very ornate picture frames that I wanted to add a doily to.  Ill take pics of the frames later to show you.But I could not find a doily that I liked till now. I bought the book off of Ebay and just received it. This is the back of the chair doily I haven't decided if Im going to make or not

 This is the Lady Doily that I will be making for one of the frames. The frame is a oval frame so Im thinking of adding more stitches to the top so it doesn't look like a straight line on top. Isnt she pretty?

 This is the Gentleman doily. I like him too. THe pattern calls for size 40 thread. Ive never used such thin thread before but I think I can get used to it.

Hers what the set looks like altogether. Isnt it pretty? The pattern is dated 1952. I fell madly for it when I saw it. Please pray all goes well as I stitch it up.

 

Im still working on my Cluster Stitch Doily dated 1955, I have 6 more rows to go. I had some difficulties but with Stitchy McFloss' help I have figured that I need to read the pattern carefully to understand it. With being so old they read different than todays patterns. Thanks Vicki love your help!

 

Ok friends be good and continue to crochet on...

July doily

I'm in the beginning stages of the July CAL doily from Stitchy McFloss . I have been a difficult stitcher for Stitchy if I would stop and read the pattern as written I would not be having such difficulties.

I love the doily anyways it's going to be really pretty when it's done.

We had a very quite 4 th of July. But my ever all hearing dogs barked all night at the fireworks in the neighborhood.

I made the wrist thread holder a few years back, it comes in very handy when I take my doily along with me.

Ok have a blessed weekend and crochet on.....

Lucilles BBQ

Yumm, We ate out at Lucilles BBQ. It was so very good. I think its one of my favorites for BBQ. They served me some awesome corn chowder and some great homemade buns with apple butter. Yummy. I shared a sample platter with Terry and brought home their bread pudding with bourbon sauce, yummmmm. I love me some bread pudding.

  Im waiting patiently for Stitchy McFloss to let me know what the next CAL will be. I have finished 2 adult hats working on the 3rd. Ill take a pic for you later.

  Ok crochet on...

Lily Pond Doily & Anniversary Dinner

Yesterday was our 39th wedding anniversary. We kept seeing the commercial from Famous Daves burnt ends so we went there for our special day. We didn't like them as much as we liked the Rib Tips instead.

We enjoyed our week together we hung out at the house and did a little shopping and all in all had a nice week.

Next year it will be our 40th and we are hoping to go on a cruise to Alaska. If not we are going to go hang out with my sister at her time share in Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Id love to go into Reno and hangout at Jimmy Beans and shop for some great yarn.

Ok Im working on the June CAL from StitchyMcFloss , so far so good:) lol I kinda like this one Im stitching it up with DMC Dusty Rose size 10 thread using a size 8 hook, it called for a size 7 hook but I couldn't find mine. Its probably stuck in some other project that I started and never finished, As soon as do a little more Ill take some pics for you all to see my progress.

Ok have a great week and Crochet On...

Romantic Pineapple Doily

I put this 27 inch doily on my stool at the end of my bed and it is so big I cant even use it for what I wanted to use it for, so I think Ill make another one after I get the June 1 CAL done, Im thinking of maybe using a size 7 or 6 hook. We will see,

Crochet on...

Romatic doily finished

Here is my finished Doily. Isnt it lovely? Its rather big at 27" around. I love tho. Its in lavender and dark purple around the edge. As soon as it dries Ill post a better pic.

Im starting another doily from StitchyMcflos come join us its very lovely.

I want to put out a little help me with a pattern if you can. Im looking for a 12" by 9: oval doily to put into some antique frames that I have. If anyone runs across a pattern Id appreciate it if you drop me off a little comment of where I can purchase or get one for free. Thanks in advance.

My friend Karen has started our charity of Senior Lapghans for this year. She already has 5 done I just need to put them together. I taught my sister Carri to do a granny square so Im hoping she will make a few for me too. Hoping to make 50 this year.

Happy Mothers Day to all my Friends and Family members who have and want or ever loved someone as a mama. Enjoy your day!
Have a cuppa tea, and a nice slice of sweetness, and love as you all do...

Heres my finished Pineapple Doily. I finished it last week I think it was Monday, and I starched it on Tuesday. I think I put a little too much starch I may rewash and see if I can  get it to be not so stiff.

Im starting another one that over at Stitchy McFloss is having a crochet along. I really like the doily so Im going to start as soon as I get my thread, I haven't figured out the color yet, I was thinking lavender.

Ive been busy redoing my bedroom and bath they started tiling today YAY

New friends..

I discovered a new blog the other day and I just fell in love with her blog and writings. You can go to her site Stitchy MCFloss. She crochets wonderfully and tells the most treasured stories about her friends and crochet and knitting too!

Through her I discovered Vikki over at her blog By Hooks 4 U .She had just finished crocheting the most lovely doily called Debbie by designer Patricia Kristoffersen you can see her doilies and pretties over on her site pkcrochet.com. she has lovely crochet goodies. But right now her pdf files are not working so I started making another doily from a book that I found at Savers Thrift Store from designer Margret Rost the book is from LA Round Doilies 1988. Its a pineapple design. I bought the thread from Vikki and wow oh wow did it fly through the mail. I bought the thread from her on one day and recieved the thread just a few days later. I love the color I had never seen this color before until I say it on Vikkis site. And Vikki has all the colors you would want so if your in need of thread go visit her site.

The doily Im working on is very nice and smooth, Im enjoying it quite a lot. When I do finish it Ill post a pic for you all too see.

Im still in the midst of redecorating my bedroom, closet and bathroom. We are all at a stand still Im hoping that they will start back up again next Monday.

Ok Friends enjoy your weekend and have a blessed time...

catching up...

Hi ya Peeps,
  Its been hectic around here to say the least.we had a flood in our master bath that went into our closet then into the bedroom. So we called Allstate our insurance and they came right out. Took pics then went away. when they came back to us they informed us that they would have to tear our all our walls andtile in bathroom due to asbestos in the walls.
   They took everything out(I forgot to take pics) I did get some pics of the closet after they finished how do you like it?

 The shoe box in the middle of the room is leaving and Ill just have a chaise lounge in the middle to sit on. Its cedar lined closet isnt it gorgeous. I can wait for it all to be finished

Heres the tile I picked out for the bath. its so nice I cant wait to see how it transforms my bathroom.and the little puppy you see wanting her pic takin is Teacup

Oh Happy Happy Easter 2013

Be blessed and enjoy your blessings

praise Him
