Well guess I better start this off with the first ones I did a while back. I am a member of our local Gem and Mineral Society and we started a beading goup. The left bracelet is my first one in this pattern that Sharon taught us that afternoon. We try to meet oncea month and laugh and have a good time. The one on the right is one that I made for myself too. It is a pretty simple pattern to do. You can find a video on how to do it here: http://www.auntiesbeads.com/Flat-Spiral-Stitch-Video_p_4119.html




I am also a memeber of the Beading Daily website and every once in a while we have swaps where we make stuff for each other. I made this for a lady named Lina on there. This is her pic of the one I made for her. I thought it turned out pretty.

More to come.

Blessings,
Vicki

Wow it has been a while

Good grief it has been a while since I have been on here. Been so much going on too. Where to start where to start. Well I haven not been doing much tatting lately. Been drawn back into my jewelry and really enjoy doing that. Had a bad scare back in October with my dad and we almost lost him. He had to have a quad bypass and his diabetes has caused a lost of kidney damage so they started shutting down. Made it thru surgery and got to go home for about a week. then his body turned on him and he started retaining massive amounts of fluid. Congestive heart failure set and and we thought we were gonna lose him again. Went back in the hospital for a while. Now he is doing great. Stronger than ever, about 35 pounds lighter and blowing and a going. Well we also lost my grandmother recently. Her Alzheimer's became terrible and she finally went to be with GOD in June of this year. She was such a great lady and taught me sooooooo soooooo much. Many of the crafts and hobbies I do today are thanks to that lady. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone and loved everyone she met. For her funeral I made a video of her life and everyone really liked it. I know she would have too.

I have tried a couple of times and it wont upload the video. :(

Well enough of the sad for a bit. I have a new baby during the ordeal with dad a momma kitty in our back yard disowned one of her babies cause she was sick. Well we just could not have that so we took her in and started raising her. Had to bottle feed her and everything. She is so sweet and I love her to death.

Bookmark for a friend in Germany

I made this bookmark for a bookmark exchange with a friend in Germany. The pattern is from Kersti and is called Stumpy. It is a very easy pattern and I enjoyed making it.


Below is the bookmark that Karin sent to me from Germany. She said that it is her own pattern, I love the colors of it and it is a very beautiful bookmark. I am so glad to have received it.

Little Tatted Butterfly

New Toy

Well over the last 2 weeks I have not had much fun or felt like doing much crafts thanks to some major car trouble. Been real down in the dumps. WELLLL not any more since I got my new toy. I am having so much fun in it and really like it. Even Sam likes it, he just jumps right in.

Mom's Tatted Cross

Well I decided to take a break from my Doily and make this cross for my mom. I plan on framing it and giving it to her. The pattern is the Cross Bookmark from Sharon Albers. It measures 4.75 x 5.75 inches. I made it with DMC Pearl Cotton Floss called Summer Breeze. Hope you like and thanks for looking.
