I think my older sister was hinting for this because purple is her favorite color.


If I don't sell it within a few months in my Etsy store I may send it to her.  I haven't sent my younger sister anything in a long time.  I'll give her something I've already made, too.  Recently, I sent my best friend of 47 years one.  She said she was going to frame it.  I've been meaning to do that myself with some others.

Oh No!

I am 3/4 way through making Star Of India doily and ran out of thread!  The pattern calls for 300 yards and I was using a ball with 350 yards.  The thread is not discontinued but it is the new style which is thinner - although it is size 10 - and has hardly any twist.  The dye lot would be different.  I wanted to make the doily in one color.  I may decide to make the edging in a different color.

It poured rain this morning.  We needed it but I had hoped it would last all weekend.  That way I could have a peaceful weekend without the three houses of noisy neighbors to the east of me.

I need to send a message somehow to get this blog fixed so it won't print in italics.  I have tried everything to no avail.

One Of These Days

One of these days I will sell a doily in my Etsy store.  Buy something people!  I am getting quite a collection.

For some reason our lake association had our fireworks show last night.  They should have had it tonight since today is the 4th of July.  My dog is not afraid of them.  She gets excited and runs back and forth on our deck.  Contrary to popular belief she is a Chihuahua that doesn't yap and shiver.  She is a good dog and beautiful and smart. 

Have a great Independence Day weekend!

Keep Cranking Them Out

I don't know why I keep cranking them out because they never sell but I just love to crochet. 
Maybe I should finish my afghan.
This one is from Crochet World August 2015 called "Teal Fantasy" but of course I had to change the
 colors.

We had a few storms this past week.  The electric went out for 5 hours a few days ago but we have a generator so at least I could have my coffee.

My Chihuahua Ginger is a lip reader.  I can mouth something and she knows what I am saying!  She is very good at picking up body language.  I guess what I'm saying is I think she is the smartest, cutest and most well behaved dog ever.
