First of all thank you guys that keep stopping by here to check on me..or to find me on facebook, or message me, or contact me through my etsy shop. It means a lot to me that you care..and wonder where I have been and what has been going on....thank you. I think we have found our new normal around here...almost 6 months in the making..and we are still trying to sort it all out. But I have hope and faith that God is in control and has a good plan..Let me backtrack for those that are trying to catch up. In May my son-in-law hung himself. He left 2 boys behind. My daughter is caught up in drugs and is homeless..refusing to go to rehab, to a shelter or any place for help. So the other grandmother and I have the two boys. No it is not ideal, but neither of us felt like we could handle 2 boys. Ok, that's all I am going to say about this situation for now. But you all know me and sooner or later I am going to have it all out there..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Patricia Kristoffersen has remastered, reworked some of her patterns and is offering them at reasonable prices on her Etsy shop. Inthreadiblehome.etsy.com I am currently working on Tala. One of my favorite patterns to start with..but the remastered one is awesome!!!!</span></div>

I have the original books so I was hesitant to purchase the remastered version. I am so happy I did..they are similar patterns, but enough difference to make them different ...If you don't do etsy..Kristoffersen is also offering them through Ravelry. She also released a brand new pattern..I bought it also. Trish says she has more unreleased patterns but is hesitant to publish as there is so much illegal downloads that many designers are not putting there intellectual work out there. Pinterest..is a site where there is a lot of piracy. I have even had pictures of my doilies used as someone else's work...that's why the business card on the pic. If you can afford a fast food meal..you can afford to buy the pattern...at least that is my opinion. </div>

Well that's just what I am doing. I am now have a grandson living with me...a 15 year old teenage boy...I am doing the best I can with a bad situation. I would go into more detail, but I don't want to hurt anyone, especially people I care about..so I won't. I am blogging on a fluke..I haven't been here in a very long time...and my blog just popped up..so here I am. For those of you who follow me..you know eventually I will go off on a rant and spill everything that I bottle up...so check back often. I guess I can use this as therapy? Probably not a good idea..the bat shit crazy is liable to come out..and then the people with straight jackets will wrap me all up nice and neat...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">On the crochet front....I don't hook as often as I used to. I do enjoy it. But there doesn't seem to be much time anymore. I try to grab at least an hour or two a day, sometimes more. The hook soothes me. The hook relieves the stresses of the day. I think everybody needs a safe place to go and my hook and thread is a safe place. I can think, I can analyze, I can reflect, but most importantly I can find some peace. I can say shut up..I am counting..and no one gets offended...try saying shut up to someone when you don't have a hook in your hand...it just sounds mean.. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am trying to get my store restocked with thread..there are some colors that seem impossible to get..dusty rose, lilac, maroon, and a few colors of blue...I have a runner that I should have had finished months ago..but all kinds of crap started happening in my life..and I can't even find the pattern...argh...</span></div>

Time passes so quickly...Let me catch you up. Since the last post..I have been hooking, but it seems to go slowly....my husband had a small heart attack...and we bought a house.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Lets start with the heart attack. I took hubby to the ER due to him saying he was having chest pains...come to find out while talking to the dr...it has been going on for a week....It is scary to have them move you so quickly into the ER...and the amount of attention one gets....to make a long story short...it was a small heart attack...after staying there a few days, and having multitudes of tests ran...he found that he is a pretty healthy guy....We need to make some lifestyle changes..slowly...so we are walking more...eating less..eating less processed food, fresh fruits and salads..and he must stop smoking...it will be slow changes, but we are doing it...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">New HOUSE!!! for those that have been following me for awhile..you know we sold our house last year and never did find our new house and had to go into an apartment. Well after a year of looking we finally found it. It is closer to my family and still close enough to his mom (2 hours) that we can get together often...It is about the same amount of time to my mom, and 2 of my daughters and some of my grandkids...there is one daughter that is still about 6 hours away. So we are looking at moving around the first or second week of April.... Now I am thinking I don't want to move all of this thread so I may be reducing the price or putting up a discount code. I am running low on a lot of the thread, and will not be putting another order in until after the move...and then it takes a week or two to get it here...even longer for the babylo....so if you are thinking of ordering ..just saying</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I think these are all I made during the month of Feb...I have a runner on my hook that is an order. Hoping to have it done this weekend. I have an order for an oval runner, but she is happy to wait until after the move..but I think I can get it done...I also have a test pattern for Grace Fearon to start and get finished up..The last 4 doilies that you see pictured here are her designs... Ok I think that is it...Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read my thoughts.... You can find all the thread used here in my shop</span><br />

While I had this cold I realized I don't know how to spit. The Dr. said to spit the phlem?..you know that yucky stuff you cough up? anyway to spit it out...well I was taught that ladies do not spit....so I guess I did not learn how. I try to spit and I end up with snot, for the lack of better word, just hanging from my lips..gross I know. So hubby in his fit of laughter tries to tell me how to spit...so now I am learning to spit...at the age..(not going there) I am just learning to spit...and not doing it well..how gross..sorry guys...ok...but I did finish up some things... yes I did wash my hands...many many times...and my face..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> This is a pattern designed by Patricia Kristoffersen and can be found in Exquisite Tabletoppers...I made this with DMC Babylo 415.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> This is the Between Meal Centerpiece pattern and can be found on the internet as a free pattern. I used Alize Miss #476 a darker gray for this one. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucbua5dIdqsE4j-QvCkWjktY3Ae1WIWicoO_ZyP0G6x51ZaSGIhJgBzK-gzX_IzFdWduUbWAw6WTQmE3movv3eFYw8zuQX9birIoAziYcSQ2lvyvwkLWwJzPq4SzOvKTmT8MPYao7WGU/s1600/DSCN3578.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucbua5dIdqsE4j-QvCkWjktY3Ae1WIWicoO_ZyP0G6x51ZaSGIhJgBzK-gzX_IzFdWduUbWAw6WTQmE3movv3eFYw8zuQX9birIoAziYcSQ2lvyvwkLWwJzPq4SzOvKTmT8MPYao7WGU/s320/DSCN3578.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> And finally this is a new pattern I tested. The name of the pattern is Constance. It is not available to the public yet as it is still being tested. I used DMC Babylo #783..a burnt gold color. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I love the textures of this pattern...would look really good with the self striping Alize Miss Batik I think. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can find all the thread used in these doilies except the light gray Babylo in my shop..It is sold out. I am undecided if I am going to continue to keep Babylo in my shop. I had a shipment problem, and a charge to my account problem..to make a long story short I had no idea I had a backorder..charged my account without my knowledge until the thread just showed up on my doorstep...not a happy camper...so I am unsure if I want to deal with it again...but it seems that many people really enjoy this thread..myself included...one of the best I have ever worked with...so I am undecided...would love you guys to give me your thoughts.. anyway have a wonderful week...and if you are interested in the thread be sure to check my shop out.

And this is my blog...so here goes</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">To all those congressmen and women, to all the senators....How DARE YOU...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">What you have done this weekend is show me that you are above reproach...you are untouchable. How do we the people hold you accountable for the civil unrest you helped to create? Our country swore in our...key word...OUR president...and you ...repeat...YOU our supposed Leaders...boycotted? What message did you send to the world....I ask you this....How do we the people punish you for such childlike behavior? How do we hold you accountable for saying to unhappy people that is ok to rally....to protest...to say and do hateful and violent things if you don't get your way? By doing what you did on January 20, 2017...there will be consequences..what they will be I do not know....I am wondering if I had protested Obama or if groups of protester, rich white movie stars, movie makers...had rallied and protested our last president on his day of taking the highest office in our country...would you have been so tolerant? Probably not....I would have been labeled a racist..for sure.....Let me tell you this Mr. Congressman/Senator...you have set an example of child like behavior..I want to put you in time out..I want to fire you from you JOB...I use that word lightly...Your Job is to work for this nation..not to further your political agenda...So if these protests get out of hand..if they get violent..I am going to blame you...If people get hurt or jailed..I am going to blame you...What you did tells me you think you are above Reproach...there is nothing we the people can do to punish you for your actions...is there? You have set the example..you have cleared the path...you are responsible for whatever follows..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok .....now for the protesters.....REALLY? We as a country voted...He TRUMP is our president...all those protest are really meaningless...you cannot change the outcome of the election...You are protesting the very behavior you are exhibiting...HATE...<i>Intolerance...Judgemental</i><b> </b>You have become the very face of the ideas you are protesting....You are creating the division you are protesting. And to the people who are listening to the rich white men and women spewing their words into a microphone..believe you me...those people do not pump their own gas..they do not shop at Walmart to save money..they live in multi million dollar homes...they wear designer clothes..but yet they FEEL your pain..at the pump..at the grocery store..when the light bill comes in..I bet they don't have to decide if they are sick enough to go to the dr...because their deductible is so high...Yeah If you are listening to them...and worse yet believing them...then I am sorry....I am sorry that the words coming out of a millionaire's mouth that is preaching hate, that is intolerant..that is judgemental makes you feel better....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So People...if you are still here reading my rant,please please...I ask that while you may have not voted for Trump...he is our president...he is the leader of this country...and now it is time to put on the big girl panties..chin up..shoulders back..and be proud of our country..and stand behind our president...stop believing everything you hear and see on the news...do some research..find more than one source of information...do some critical thinking....and make your own decisions..and not follow some movie maker....maybe even take the road less traveled...Because UNITED we STAND...DIVIDED we FALL</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Any hateful comments..don't make them...this is my blog...my thoughts..my freedom of speech exercised.... </span></div>
<div>

I have been busy..I am not sure which doilies I have shown you lately..but my fingers have been busy. I have tested a few patterns for Grace Fearon..you can find her patterns on ravelry..I think she may have an etsy shop also..not sure on that..but her patterns are some of the most textured patterns I have ever worked. And the cool thing about her patterns ..most of them work with AMB..Alize Miss Batik..self striping thread...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">All 3 of these patterns are her designs...all were worked with Alize Miss Batik (AMB). You can find the thread in my etsy shop..Byhooks4u.etsy.com...I love the way it works..no ends to weave in..I really like that..</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;">This is also one of Grace's designs...gorgeous huh? I love textured doilies....so if you are so inclined..go check her out...I believe she has 2 self published books out..plus she also sells her new designs as individual patterns....the first pink and blue one won't be published until later this month..but the rest I believe are available.... Just tell her Vikki sent you...lol no you don't have to..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a few goals this year...I am going to work on me..I want to lose a few pounds...move a little more...keeping it simple... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What's on my hook you ask...well I just finished a PK tabletopper and working on the Between Meal Centerpiece..making it in a gray color...I am really liking it. Next on the hook is something I cannot talk about...but I can say this...it is a CAL from Grace...the pattern will be free.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok I think I have bored you enough....I hope you all have a wonderful week...and thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and read my thoughts...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Good Afternoon....Christmas is almost upon us. I have been pretty busy this past couple of weeks trying to get everything done and on the way to the new owner....I think this week things will slow down and I am hammering to get the little odds and ends done around my house....We aren't doing much as this year everyone has to travel so far with kids to do Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa..Grandpa is on call this year so it is better we don't plan a thing...New Years Eve we will celebrate our family then...it works out ....</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I just want to thank everyone who visited my etsy shop this year and helped make it a successful year..I am now carrying more threads than ever...just so we can have them in our hooking hands.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So Have a wonderful Christmas ...and I will see you after the New Year..</span></div>

I just haven't figured out what or how I am doing the gift giving this year. My grandkids are growing up and are getting harder and harder to shop for. I have a few that are still young and will enjoy anything grandma and grandpa hand them. Most of you know I am not a shopper...I don't like crowds, don't like shopping period. I can do it...but usually I don't if I don't have to. Although to go shopping with mom and my sisters can really be fun..as long as I don't think about it too long and just do it. As for Cyber Monday...well...I think the prices will be about the same if not better a week from now. But that is my opinion I could be wrong..but I highly doubt it. I have a tiny shop on Etsy...and it does no better, and no worse on Cyber Monday...I don't discount my things. Little shops like us already price our items as low as we can..most of us give away our time on our items...otherwise they would never sell. We cannot compete with the big box stores..nor do we try. Our shipping costs are more, we still have to pay all the fees for Etsy, for paypal. So Cyber Monday is just big business trying to entice us to spend our $$ in their stores. I will encourage you if you are looking for something unique..something special..something that means something...please shop small..whether it be online, or in your town..help that small business owner out and keep them afloat...small businesses are getting sqeezed so keep that in mind when shopping this holiday season. </span><br />

It has been over 2 weeks. To be honest I just didn't feel like it..I tend to write whatever is in my head, and I wasn't sure what was going to come out...Let's just leave it at that... </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I tested another doily for Grace Fearon...This one is called Lorraine. It is a highly textured doily, most of Grace's patterns are. I used DMC Babylo #882..a shade that is darker than ecru..but a beigy gray color....I love it....by the way BABYLO is still marked at clearance prices...She has her 2nd book coming out shortly..if you want to look her up she has a shop on Etsy...just type in her name in the search bar. It should come up...or you can find her on RAVELRY....I am not a fan of Ravelry ..besides I can never remember my password for that site anyway...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to list a few more doilies in my shop this week...I hadn't realized I haven't been listing them...so there is a pile to be listed..yuck...maybe there is a listing fairy that will list them for me..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished up all my orders...so now I am at a loss as what to make..I have a to do pile...but there are so many choices...maybe I should just close my eyes and pick one...color choice won't be so hard as I hoarded 2 colors that came in with the last order of BABYlo....a gray and a fushia color....so whatever I make will be made with one of those 2 colors......anyway I finished up my orders so there is a pic in this blog somewhere....Butterfly doily...the wedding ones are done..I don't remember if I posted a pic of them or not a few weeks ago...I think I did... </span><br />

The plan was to finish up a pineapple doily that is the last of an order...who knows I still may get to it. I got sidetracked and ended up cleaning up my bedroom from the ceiling fan down to the floor. I don't know how that one room gets so dusty and yucky..but it does. Anyway it is done now. I also need to run out and pick up a few things at the store. I don't know why I seem to be the one that has to pick up groceries. I don't like shopping at all...I think I need a maid or something..</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway I am taking a break and sitting in my craft/thread room and realize that I need to get in here and put the pile of patterns up. I have binders that I keep most of my patterns and pattern books in. And for the most part I know where each pattern is although I still make such a mess looking for the "perfect" pattern or the one I am in the mood to make...so now I have a pile that I really need to deal with. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh I received more thread..more Alize Miss...this time it is the Melange line...it is like a variegated thread, but there is no white in the colors. So it is more like shaded..you know..when the green has different colors of green and gradually changes color...but this has no white..and All of the Alize Miss line co-ordinates with each other....so I now have the self striping Alize Miss Batik, the solid Alize Miss, and now the variegated Alize Miss Melange..and the colors all mix and match....I have a shawl pattern I am going to try and work with all three of them to see how it works together. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">BabyLo has been marked down to $4.00 a ball...I think I have decided not to reorder it....for a few reasons...I can't know that what I order is what I will receive, I don't know when the stuff will arrive, and I don't know if it will be backordered or not...and I cannot have money taken out of my account without knowing about it first....so unless I have a change of heart...I don't think I will be ordering anymore. Don't get me wrong...it is some of the best thread I have ever worked with...if it were a more dependable delivery system I would continue to carry it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

I received 2 rather large boxes of DMC Babylo thread last week. For those that don't know but I have trouble ordering this one thread..as my distributor only orders it for me..I am patient with it. Last year about this same time..I placed an order for Babylo..a rather large one. To make a long story short, not all of the order came in. So apparently a year(last week) most of it came in...and without notice my card was hit with the cost of the thread...anyway...I talked to the distributor and have made the decision to not carry this thread anymore (there were still more on backorder). So what I have in my shop is it. I have decided to reduce the price to the lowest point I can and when it is gone it is gone. Too be honest I pulled a few of the colors to keep for myself...I am a hoarder...yes..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are colors that I have never seen in thread...like a really bright orange, an almost neon color yellow, a lime green, and a really strange color of red, purple, blue color...I am keeping all 10 balls of it for my stash..just a weird color. There are shaded pinks, yellows, orange, blue, green, reds, and browns. For those that don't know the difference between shaded threads and variegated threads...shaded threads only have hues of that color...for instance..shaded reds will only have shades of reds, and dark pinks..no white....and shaded blues will only have shades of blue..no whites..perfect for those roses and flowers we love to make.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did finish a doily this past week...It is called Charlotte, a design that is still in the testing stage, designed by Grace Fearon...I used Alize Miss Batik..self striping thread #4144 it is about 14 inches across....</span><br />

OK....had a small hiccup with my store this past week. Well maybe a few hiccups. Let me tell you about it. I get up one morning because I heard one of those weird sounds you don't hear often on your phone. The sound of someone taking $$ from my bank account. So I look..yep..somebody took over $670 ..yikes..so yeah I get out of bed quickly... I called my bank and apparently it was one of my thread suppliers...I have to wait until almost noon my time as my supplier is on the west coast..they aren't even open. I don't know about you but, when I have something like that happen I have a hard time waiting to talk to someone. So I got my bathroom cleaned, vacume, dusted and mopped the floor...still had another hour or two to wait...ugh...picked up a hook...and hooked all the while doing time checks. I finally talk to them...and you know the Babylo thread...love the thread...well it is hard to get all at once..apparently I placed a large order around a year ago...not all the colors came in...well they finally did. I did not even know I had a pending order from them....I ask if there are any more "back orders" yes there is....I said cancel them. This thread is ordered just for me and my tiny shop..so I kind of felt obligated to take the order. I work with 2 other vendors...have orders out with both of them...one was delivered on the same day as the account was hit. The other is still out there. And now Babylo is on the way. I do not have room for all this thread....Argh!!! BabyLo may be going on sale upon its arrival...keep an eye out.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">However...look at the colors of the thread that was delivered...unbelievable colors....This is the Alize Miss solids that co-ordinate with Alize Miss Batik, self striping thread.....This stuff is gorgeous!!!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can find DMC Cebelia, DMC BabyLO and Alize Miss solids and Batik in my etsy shop.....would love it if you can help me get my inventory down to a more manageable level. I will let you know when the new BABYLo arrives. Byhooks4u.etsy.com<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I really need to make myself out a schedule..so I make sure to get things done....but I tend to wing it better. Schedules seems so rigid..Ok..what's new? Not a whole lot...I am really working hard on getting the orders done that I have put off...Never...and I mean NEVER tell me "I'm in no hurry...whenever you get around to it." NEVER say this to me when you ask me to make something.....I am easily distracted..I see a new pattern....the next thing you know I am making it... and because you said you were in no hurry I am putting whatever you wanted me to make on the back burner...I haven't forgotten you...I am happy you trusted me to make your doily, runner or tablecloth..but man please do not tell me you are in no hurry or whenever....so I am making myself, encouraging myself to stay on task...so with that being said...I finished the 2nd of 3 runners that were ordered months...I mean months ago....each one is a different length..so I have to do math....see sad face? Hubby is really good about helping me figure out what I need to do to make it close to the right length. I have now started on the third one...yippee....when I get this completed I have 2 more doilies to make ( for a wedding)...and I am still testing patterns for Grace Fearon(you can find her on ravelry)..and I have a butterfly doily that I need to get to. So yes..self discipline is a must. It is a good thing I didn't do my craft fair this year...did I miss it...yes....maybe next year if they have a spot for me.. Ok...want to see what I made this week.......</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> This is the runner I told you about earlier....it is approx. 34 inches..the last one will be about 48 inches..and the first one I did I think was 68...not sure on that...the color is DMC #3326...a French rose color...</span><br />

I have been trying to get on here to blog since Monday. I thought about it, but just never got on here to do it. I thought about blogging about our upcoming elections...and then thought why bother....I am not happy about my choices...my thought is this about our election...no matter what please just vote...anyway here are my thoughts..with a country that has as many educated people..talented people...people that have a social consciousness...why ...are these two people our choices? We have a man that is using the public's frustration as a platform...you know that is almost scary..Yes I am frustrated as much as the next guy..I am tired of seeing our paycheck disappear before we even get it...I am tired of big business running our country..I am tired of having to be apologetic because I am white.. I am tired of having to make concessions to people who come here illegally, or who come here looking for a better way of life..but then want to rewrite our Bible..or cater to their religious beliefs...Yes I am tired...but the other option is a person that makes deals with the very powers that we have taken arms against...who believes in late term abortions..who believes we need to modernize the Bible..that believes taking guns away from law abiding citizens will help with all the violence...But as tired of I am of stupid political commercials, of half lies, of bashing each other...I will vote...I just wish we had a candidate who would tell the truth...tell me the truth..tell me that he is just a figure head and truly has very little legislative power..tell me that he/she is running for office for the prestige..for the lifetime benefits they will have once they fulfill their terms...tell me that you are going to stuff the budget full of stuff that has nothing to do with the budget..tell me what your real agenda is....Instead of saying she doesn't have the stamina...say what you really think...instead of saying and slamming him for something that he said 20 years ago really has any bearing on what he is saying now.....cause I don't think your hubby has a lot of respect for women either..TELL Me the Truth on why you want to be president.....ONE person..cannot fix the mess we are in..one person cannot heal the great divide between rich and poor..black and white..Christian and Muslims....</span><br />

I am trying to blog at least once a week. I feel like I have been out of sync....I made a doily over the weekend. I test for Grace Fearon ..you can find her on Ravelry. I very seldom go to Ravelry. It seems to be hard to navigate for me. Besides I can never remember my user name, let alone my password, and it is just not worth the effort. I would rather be hooking. </span><br />

The name of the pattern is Etienne and is still in the testing stages. I really like this pattern. It came out to 12 inches, I used a #6 Boye hook. The thread is the self striping thread Alize Miss Batik....I just love how it worked in this pattern. Oh yeah...this came in last week<br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;">More Alize Miss Batik.....I placed another order already this morning as I ran out of some colors, and others are running low...also reduced my price because another person selling it on Etsy lowered theirs. Which will set me up for a rant....I don't understand why some shop owners feel like they have to undercut, or under price their goods. I sell this stuff because I use it, and I like it....I make my doilies because I like creating them...I sell them because I cannot keep everything I make...you should see the pile of doilies I have...I like playing with the thread, I like the creative part of it. With that being said I will not price my things just to make a sale. I am proud of what I make..I say that not as a boastful person, but because my talent is worth something...as is everybody who creates handmade items. We are craftsmen...we are not Walmart (does Walmart carry DMC Cebelia in their stores? No) they carry it in their warehouse because shelf space is too expensive for them to stock it in the store. We cannot compete with Walmart...why should we as craftsmen compete with each other when we cannot compete with Walmart. No I did not undercut their price on the thread...I just met their price....OK rant over..... Anyway you can find the thread and the doily at my shop</span><br />

</span><span style="font-size: large;">I finished this up last week....there is a mistake in it....can you see it? I didn't find it until after I had it blocked and dried....I think I will add this to the pile I have to make a tablecloth using a bunch of white doilies....or maybe I will make a curtain....something.. Ok if you want to pop into my shop to have a look see...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Well hello there!!! I have had so many problems when it comes to this blog sight...I don't even want to get into it. Let me catch you up on everything....Well I am testing patterns for Grace Fearon...she is the next PK ..at least in my opinion. Wonderful doilies..you can find her on Ravelry..Also I finally received the ALIZE MISS BATIK thread. This thread is so fun...it is a self striping thread...I will post some pics at the end of my post..be sure to look at them...I have them available for purchase in my shop, but inventory is really low...I re-ordered more less than 3 days after it came in..I didn't know it would sell so quickly...so hopefully the order will be here on Tuesday or Wednesday this week...This is a size 10 mercerized thread..fun to work with...you almost have to work with it to really see what I mean...There are also co-ordinating colors that I am considering carrying..Have you seen some of the big box stores (Walmart) for example have DMC Cebelia in their warehouse? I cannot compete with their price..and am finding it hard to get my complete order through my supplier...so I am not sure what I am going to do...maybe hoard my DMC Cebelia...and BABYLo is so undependable I cannot know when it will come in. I do have more of the shaded colors on order because I am out, but they have been backordered over and over...so maybe my retail days of DMC product might be over...we will see what happens in the next month or two....as for the ALIZE...I will keep ordering and see what happens...ok want to see some pics? </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

He just turned 14. I am blessed beyond measure because he wants to be here. Someday he will be too old for his grandma and his life will be busy so I am truly enjoying the time I have with him. I did get this name thingy done for a customer..and while I was making it may grandson stood behind me...and yes it drove me crazy...I didn't know he was watching and learning...He asked if I had any extra crochet stuff, so I dug him out a ball of yarn and a hook....he wanted thread and a small hook...we did start out with it, but he soon realized he wasn't quite ready for it. So with the yarn I was gob stopped shocked....he is a lefty and since he has been about 4 or 5 he wanted to help me...and I tried teaching..we got as far as a chain...every year he comes down and every year we go through the learning of crochet...well this year by George he got it!!!! well kind of...but he got it!!! I have posted pics of his wrist bands...he did them all by himself while watching tv !!!! So yes I am one proud grandma...his dad may have a problem with it, but his grandma....NOT!! </span><br />

Megan my youngest daughter and her family have been blessed with the adoption of a new child. Meg and her family have been waiting for this baby for at least a year now. If you or someone you know have been down the adoption road, you know how rocky this road is. So praise be that our family has grown. I haven't met him yet..but I am working on getting up there to meet him. I would post a pic of him...but me techno challenge...the pics are in my phone...and I am on my laptop..not sure how to get them from one place to another...so that's for another day....Trust me he is just as handsome as his brothers...and I love him although I have yet to meet him.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Ok here is last's weeks doily....it is a pattern design by Cylinda Mathews, Crochet Memories...</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was a CAL from a few months ago, but I just got around to doing it. I like this girl's designs, very well written and easy to follow along.. she has a website Crochet Memories..you can find her patterns there..she also has a facebook page... this doily is approx. 22 inches across and has 13 flowers, made with DMC Cebelia thread and Lizbeth.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I tested another pattern but it has to be blocked, and pictures taken and sent to Grace before posting pics on here. So check back in a few days, I may have it posted by then. One can only hope.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">My oldest grandson has been visiting since last Sunday...do you know you have to feed teenagers? If you don't they remind you...and start planning meals from the minute they get up? Did you know boys eat a lot and I mean a lot more than girls? Just a heads up...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

Yep...I am hooking it. I have a tablecloth, a flowered doily, a runner and a test pattern on my hook. If you know me you know when I have this many things going...that I tend to freeze up. But I am doing ok with it.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I finished this up over the weekend..it is a test pattern. The pattern was designed by Grace Fearon...the name of the doily is IVY...You can find her on Ravelry. Not sure if she has this pattern up for sale yet, but she has others that she offers. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me tell you about this design..it is not...repeat ..is not for the beginner..I would say it is for the experienced hooker...one who has full knowledge of all stitches..and understand the lingo. Remember not every designer uses the same words in the same order....I no problem with the instructions, but did have to slow down and read the instructions all together...but it is a wonderful design. I feel that Grace is a wonderful designer. I love PK designs with texturing stitches..and Grace is right up there with Patricia Kristoffersen in her designs...and looking forward to more from her. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have been telling myself I need to get my to my blog for at least a week or two. I try to read some blogs and blogger says page unavailable..so JO and Moe...please know that I am trying to stay in touch...OK..what is new in my world...not a whole lot.. Went to Florida with my mom and one of my sisters to visit another sister. That was a fun trip...my sister has never flown before. She really made me laugh..Mom broke her foot a few weeks back, so she was wheeled around in a wheelchair..found out she has trust issues..like we are going to run her into something on purpose..Hey I will be honest here..you get a lot of help getting through the airport, ticket and security if you are in a wheelchair...I highly recommend it..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I got home from my trip and found that I had a couple of big boxes of DMC thread waiting for me. Of course it is Cebelia...but there was a box of BABYLo......brand new colors!!! The colors are awesome....I can't remember who suggested I look into Babylo..but thank you whoever you are...I love this thread...It is right up there with Cebelia...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I moved in April....To be really honest...I am not sure I like where I am at. It is only temporary, but I need just a little more space. I can't seem to get my craft room organized and together....I need help...seems like it is just there..some of it is still in boxes..got the important stuff unpacked..like thread, hooks, and patterns...but the rest...not so much...</span><br />

I hope all you guys had a wonderful mother's day, whether you are a mother or not. My girls all live away from me so I didn't have my daughters with me so I wasn't able to see them but we did text and talk. My mom is also a distance away, but she knows I was thinking about her..and hoping that she was able to feel the love. Hubby was working so I stepped in for him and took my other mother to lunch and did a little shopping..I bought a new shower curtain and bath mats...whoopee,.. came back to my home and had dessert...cupcakes..yummy..</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I only finished one doily this week....I think this doily has one of the most complicated rows of stitches I have ever done. The effect is awesome and the doily is just gorgeous..bet you can guess which rows I am talking about by looking at the pics.. anyway...this doily is made with DMC Cebelia #712 in size 10 (can be found in my etsy shop) Byhooks4u.etsy.com The pattern in a Patricia Kristoffersen design and can be found in her Ultimate doilies book...I really really like how this turned out...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
