Dear God!

Dear God,

I'm writing to say I'm sorry
For being angry yesterday
When you seemed to ignore my prayer
And things didn't go my way

First, my car broke down
I was very late for work
But I missed that awful accident
Was that your handiwork?

I found a house I loved
But others got there first
I was angry, then relieved
When I heard the pipes had burst!

Yesterday, I found the perfect dress
But the color was too pale
Today, I found the dress in red
Would you believe, it was on sale!

I know you're watching over me
And I'm feeling truly blessed
For no matter what I pray for
You always know what's best!

I have this circle of E-mail friends,
Who mean the world to me;
Some days I "send" and "send",
At other times, I let them be.

When I see each name download,
And view the message they've sent;
I know they've thought of me that day,
And "well wishes" were their intent.

I am so blessed to have these friends,
With whom I've grown so close;
So this little poem I dedicate to them,
Because to me they are the "Most"!

So to you, my friends, I would like to say,
Thank you for being a part;
Of all my daily contacts,
This comes right from my heart.

God bless you all is my prayer today,
I'm honored to call you "friend";
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until we write again.

God Bless You

CAL Filet Rose Scarf

You can find it here.

Crochet Thread Baby Booties & CAL

Finished my thead baby booties today.  Size should be 0-3 months, guess should measure.  :)
I still need to find buttons and also want to find some small bows to place in center to cover the boo boo I made.

I will be doing a CAL.  Care to join? Our project is a Filet Winter Rose Scarf.  If you can crochet, then you can do filet crochet.  I will be writing up the instructions from a graph and also posting pictures, so that anyone who has always wanted to do filet can join in the fun.  I plan on doing this slow, as it is close to Holidays and I do have alot going on.  Suggested thread is #10 or smaller and needle to match thread.  I plan on using Aunt Lydia's Copper mist 350 yds and will need approx. 5-6 balls.  I will also use my #5 1.90mm neede.

Give a shout in the comments if you plan on joining and stay tuned.  Should be starting in about 7 days or so.

Pattern is called:

Pretty butterfly from Gourmet Crochet

Delilah Pearl Collection Thread Baby Shoes

 

 

 

Here is a link to the Filet Winter Rose Scarf.

Little different then the graph I have, I think.

 

 

Pumpkin Beanie

I can not believe I almost forgot my pumpkin beanie I had made to wear to a Halloween party over the weekend.  I hate to dress up for Halloween, so I figured I would make a hat and wear an orange shirt and go as a pumpkin.  LOL  Pattern can be found here.  I did add the curly que.  I also had to add a few more rounds before the ribbing edging. 

Wanted to add photo that was taken at Books A Million during our weekly knit/crochet meeting.

The lady behind me is Bobbie.

 

Tatted Angels

Been a few days since I have been here.  Not much to show either.  Ok here are two different patterns for baby tennie shoes.  I did the one on left first and did not like what so ever.  Tried a different pattern for the one on right, and love it.  Now I just need to do another one to be finished.  Pattern for the one on right can be found here.

 

I have also been tatting some angels motifs from Teri Dusenbury.  So far I have done 2 and not really happy with either one.  The first one was done with white w/ metallic thread.  Ok the metallic thread is a pain in the butt to work with.  So I tried another in dark purple, still not happy.  One of the hands is smaller then other, not sure if I missed some stitches or just pulled to tight.  Plus the extra joins I did to get hands and head center need to be neater and possibly tighter.  Not sure.  Being a beginner in tatting, I do not know all the tips and techniques.  I plan on trying again untill I get it like I LIKE.

 

 

So what have yall been up too?  I would love to hear from you, so leave some love, so that I know you have been here.  :)

 

Sharing some pictures of the furbabies and my babies.

Has been a while and thought since I have nothing really to share, I would share some pictures of my furbabies.  I love my DOGS!
Here is Honey, Flashy Fawn Boxer.  She was born Dec. 13, 2004 and will turn 8 on her birthday.  A little information on her.  She was paralzyed late Aug. 2010 and by Dec. she had some movement back.  To this day she is not 100% but she can still get around with no to little assistance.  I hate how the camera makes the eyes glow.  She is not evil.  LOL  Actually she is very loveable and gentle.

 

And my Deu Boy.  Deuce, White Deaf Boxer, who was born on March 29, 2007.  Honey is mom.

He is deaf but does know sign languae.  Most I made up but there are a few I use that are ASL.  He is nothing but a cuddle bug and a kisser.

Now is that rotten or what?  He loves to sleep on my bed with his head on my pillow.

 

Sitting here and typing out their birthday has made me realize how old they are.  Where does the time go?  I say that all the time when I look at my youngest who is 16, has learners permit and is always wanting to go to Mall to spend time with friends.  Man I am getting OLD.  LOL

Picture of my youngest Nicole aka Nikki at her birthday this year.  She is standing with her cousin (my sister's oldest daughter who is only 2 months older then my daughter).

 

Ok my oldest daughter is 24 and my grandson will be 6 in Nov. 2012

 

 

 

Hopefully by the end of the week or mid next week I can share some finished projects with you.  I have a tatted snowflake and a baby tennie shoe to finish up.
