Macrame

Does anyone remember macrame? I made this necklace for KC. She found the bead when she went to Mexico with her family during Christmas.

Close Up

And here she is wearing the necklace.

Who is KC, well she is a friend of Dylan's but is Dara's age. After high school she moved in with her boyfriend and it didn't work out. And she asked if she could move in for about 2 months before she went to Fort Wayne for college.

Cleaning

Then I clean out my bedroom including the closet. Pull out things that have been in boxes for years.

I found a few of the out fits that I kept from with my kids where little and I just had to get Kayden in them. Here is one that I bought for Dara. Dylan also wore it. Kayden is almost too big.

Here is a picture of Dara in the same clothes. The back of the photo has not info, only Dara & Misty. That is the name of the dog. LOL!

Here is a picture of Dylan in the same clothes. The back of the photo says Dylan is 10 1/2 months old.

Found a jacket that I stitched tweety bird on the back when Dara was small.

Oh Kayden is 2 1/2 years old.

ThanksGiving?

Thanksgiving

It didn't seem like Thanksgiving at all. I did go to my MIL for dinner, but Dylan had to work and so did I so, we didn't make it to my Sister's. This is the first Thanksgiving that I didn't spend with my family since the beginning of time, will my time. LOL!

Beading

This week's new patterns are...

Star Ring

Flower Ring and Bracelet

All patterns can be found at my Etsy shop, Artfire shop and The Bead Coop
Christmas Tree

Friday I put up my Christmas tree. Kayden came over Friday night and he told me he wanted one too.

Stitching

Wednesday eve I started a new project Bobbie G Designs "CrossStitchAholic" I moved a few things around and of course I had to add something about beading.

I stitched it on a sweat shirt, it took me three times to get the waste canvas on right. The first time I had it on the shirt too low, by my belly button. The second time I had the canvas totally out of wack. Third time charm!

So I started stitching it and pulled my first thread through it would look great using Rayon threads, which is what the "Hi" is stitched in. But it was a pain the the neck. So I didn't used the Rayon on the rest of the shirt, I switched to regular DMC. Had to change a few of the colors from the pattern so it would look nice on the color of shirt I bought. But once I took off the canvas, I wish I had used a lighter color blue. But it is done and I don't think it's that bad, that I would take it apart. What do you think?

Well, that was my week. Hope your week was a good one.
