Great Grandbabies

Hi, I would like for you to meet Gracie, beautiful baby.
This is our first great grand daughter.She is so huggable. Look at those earrings!

This is our second great granddaughter. Her name is Aubrey. We haven't goten to see her yet,

but ain't she a dollbaby.

Looks like nap time to me.

Look at that hair!! Looks like she is smiling at momma.

Well that's all the pictures I have for right now. I took some of my grandsons but for some reason i can't get them to down load. I will try again later.

Susan"s wedding

This is Susan and me. She was beginning to think hat this day was never gonna happen. She did make a beautiful bride.

This is Susan and Charles. They both looked so good and were so very nervous. But they finally got their I do's out.

This is me and Charless. He sure looked good.

This is Sue and me. She looked so pretty in her bridemaids dress.

The kiss that everyone cheered for. They thought no one was watching, but we were.

This is susan showing me her wedding ring. She had money pined on her dress from the money dance. Cute!

Anyway, they made it!! All her worries were for nothing.

New Books

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile. I have been rather busy. My friend is getting married tomorrow and I have been helping her. I have been learning about some new crafts.

Here is three new books that
I have been reading,they are on rug hooking. They have been very interesting and very informaitive. I haven't read all of them but I am slowly reading them. I know i will read them over and over again.

Here is another type of hooking. You use a punch needle and yarn. I have just started reading it.

I will learn more and try it soon.

here is a book on miniture punch needle. This started my love of punching. It is amazing what you can do with a special needle and dmc floss and a few other types of floss. Most of these projects i can do in a day.
well, that's about it for tonight. I will try to get pictures of the different types of tools that I have to go with each book.

New Crafts and 1 finish

This tag has dye instructions on it. Yes, she sent me that aslo. I don't know how to dye yet, but I will.

The next few pictures are a gift from Joan. She sent me all these!! I was so excited, it was like Christmas again. I played in them for hours. I only have two patterens to choose from, to make. I still don't know which one yet.

Here is about my fourth attempt at rug hooking. I tried several with wool. I tried ripping the wool myself, but it looked like a wool rat!(Awful) Well I sure wasn't about to send that! So I go get me a rotoary cutter, still looked bad. It did go from a wool rat to a shaggy dog! Finally, I decided to go with ribbon. It says it is to use for rug hooking. I gave it a try and I liked it. Most importantly, I got HOOKED!! And now I love it.

Here is the wool she sent with it. I love it. Sorry guys, she sent Choc. to, but I ate it. All I can say is that it was good.

Here is my trivet that I got from a trivet swap. It is from Liz. I love it. I hope to be able to to it that well. I am working on it.

I finally finished Carroll's Eagle Quilt. It is a cross stitch. I had to hang it on the door to get a picture. It has what the patteren called a photo frame boarder. I am not to sure about it . He likes it and I guess that's all that counts.

As you guessed, my new craft is Rug Hooking!! I feel in love with it after my first trivet. I am learning a little everyday. I just refuse to cut anymore wool until I get a cutter. I have it ordered, I am just waiting for it to arrive. I still haven't made up my mind what patteren I want to do. I want to get a patteren for a "mug rug". I think they are neat and I might be able to do that without messing up to bad. (I hope)

New things

Hi, I am back! I really missed my blogg. Here are a few things that I have been doing while I have been away.

This is a punch needle patteren that I designed. It is called "childhood memories". I was in a spring swap and decided that this was a good project. Does it make anyone else remember their childhood?

Now this little fellow made my winter days fade. I gave him away in another swap. I really hope he chased her winter days away.

Of course you all know who this handsome fellow is. Did you get on his naughty or nice list. I must of gotten on his nice list, because my son came and spent christmas with me. First one in 7 years.

Here is a ribbioar that was created by Angla, she let us have the patteren for free . We could design it anyway we wanted as long as we didn't change the design. I love my little pink beads. I think that they set it off.

Here is my two swap peices from last year tha I didn't get to post. These are from Karen. They are still on my refg. I love them.

Here is my swap piece from Barabra. You open the tin and can put stuff in it. I aslo got the thread. I have put my grandson,s first haircut peiceses in there. It is so beautiful!

Ok, enough for today. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did.
