Caught Up

Gees where do I start? It's been a while...New Patterns

All patterns can be purchased at ZaneyMay's.

This is my very first beaded embroidery, it is called Lattice Flower Cuff Bracelet, made with seed beads, jade flower, glass flowers and leaves.

Double Cone Bracelet, made with seed beads, fire polished beads and double cone beads using right angle weave.

Crystal Snowflake Bracelet made with seed beads, bicone crystals and fire polished beads.

Started a Facebook page ZaneyMay. Check it out and it would be great if you "Liked" it.

Also reopened my shop at ArtFire. I decided giving it one month was not fair when I gave Etsy over a year.

Pool Season

It's officially over! This is the first year that I was looking forward to the end of the season. Closed the last pool and took down an above ground pool. The owners of the above ground pool was going south for the winter and they wanted the pool down and out of there before they left. So, I now have an above ground pool that is in storage for Dara and Kayden. Dara and Brandon are talking about buying a house next year. That should be good for a couple of birthdays and Christmas. LOL! While we were waiting for the pool to drain, we went in town to get a cup of hot chocolate and then we went to an antique shop. I have collected milk glass since I was a little girl going to yard sales with my Mom and Grandma C. and I found this set still in the original box! And a few other things.

Charm Necklace

This charm and beads were in the goodie bags from the beading retreat I went to at the end of Sept. I made a cute little necklace with them. I'll be giving this to a friend. Can't say who, she might read this post.

Kayden my sweet grandson, helping me made a cake. He comes over as much as he can and when he gets here, he tells his Mommy to leave.

Halloween

My sister Mary gave me this witch for Halloween. My one and only trick or treater-Kayden or I mean Iron Man

Knitting

My name is Debra and I am not a knitter! I had about 12-15 inches knitted in my shawl and I ripped it all out. Started over and had about 5 inches done and had to rip it out too. It was just too frustrating for me.

So now I am trying crocheting, this is all have have done so far.

Cross Stitching

Still working on Hang Ten by Raise the Roof, just finished another page. I now have 4 pages done and two more pages to go!!!

Well that's about it for me. I hope all is well with you and yours.
Tomorrow I will be leaving for the Hoosier Stitchers Fall Retreat. WooT!

Getting Ready for Halloween

Etsy

I opened a new shop at Etsy called "Witches Ghost and Bats", I decided to share my love for Halloween decoration with others. (tee-hee).
Look to the right and you will see my new shop, go ahead and click and it will take you to all my good stuff. I have a ton more to add. Right now there are pillow shams, lap blankets and treat bags.
Everyone thinks I have my items priced to cheap, but I think my prices are fair. What do you think?

Card for Kayden

I made this cute card for Kayden, I'll be mailing it to him the first of October. Material I dyed a long time ago, pattern is by San-Man Originals, freebie from 2005.

Front of card.

Inside card. Of course I put a bunch of stickers on the envelope too.

Sisters Halloween Gifts

I also made my sisters Halloween pillow shams. A couple of years ago I made them Halloween lap blankets and these will match their blankets. I also made myself one.

Dylan had to do a presentation speech but he couldn't cook in class, so he did that part at home, here is the video. He did this while I was a work. He got a B. I had to laugh because he moved all the dirty dishes out of the way, then when he forgot something out of the silverware draw, Bob followed he with the camera and got all the dishes.

End of October

Friday before Halloween Kayden finally paints his pumpkin.

Kayden doesn't like to get his hands messy! LOL!

But it is okay to paint on his foot!

Halloween I had to work, but Dara and Brandon took Kayden out. He was a monkey. They said it was so funny when we walked, the tail would sway back and forth. Wish I could have see it, but they took this picture for me.

Kayden after trick r treating.

Sunday was a beautiful day so we decide to get more yard work done.

Still dealing with boxes and trying to find the best place to put everything.

Opened an Esty shop, but I am still trying to get it all set up.
