I've made these angels for friends but had not posted one.  People like them!  Also, the red heart I did for a friend is now framed!


P.S.  Found my 1400 geocache today!!

I've learned the split ring and have made a necklace for my name tag for my class on Tuesdays.  Now, to make picots on that!

This is a belt that I've prepared for my storytelling class on Tuesday at ELM, First Methodist Church, Marietta, GA.  It is from " Jack Tales" that I learned while teaching in Kentucky. My first grade class always loved this story so am counting on that fact that others will enjoy it too.  We have to bring a prop so my husband said I could use this old belt of his.   I've got my prop ready!

Hot diggity dog!!  Got beads on EVERY picot!!  This is the same heart I did in earlier posts but I've learned to add beads to harder tatting!  Yeah!

This is a big cedar tree on the school grounds of Church Street School, Andalusia, Alabama.  I taught there six years.  Big trees grow in Alabama, too!

This poppy picture is one my daughter Allison, my blog teacher, made.  It hung at our house until our good friend Judy admired it so I gave it to her.  Allison was pleased!

My brother in law, Freddie Crow, a character in his own right, wanted me to send this picture to the friend that painted this on some kind of animal skin. Bob Peters, Aviation Artist is the artist.  He paints, too, on leather jackets and Freddie has several of those.

It was so good I  wanted to share it!  We laughed till we cried when we saw this shot of Freddie!

My latest caning project!!  An antique dealer, that I cane chairs for, gave me this cute little chair!  It's not in the best of shape but with the back covered with the ABC's, it looks pretty darn cute!

Friday night!!  Out helping our good neighbors, Pam and Gene Brown, celebrate their 52nd wedding anniversary!! Longhorn's............and steak!

I took a geocaching trip to Cartersville, GA. area today with my friend Lea.  We left home at 7:45 a.m., storm had passed through earlier, and started caching around the Tellus Museum just off I-75.  We found 20 caches today!  This tree was in the area of one of our caches.  It is a huge maple tree.  Yes, there are big trees in Georgia!

Now, THIS is the way this pattern should look!!  (Well, I do need to work on different size picots!)

Alright!  Got the seat redone, the hardest part!  Have plans for the rest of this cute little chair..old, but cute!

I'm still learning to tat!!  This has some errors but I'll just keep practicing until I get it perfect!

My new project given to me by my antique dealer friend, for whom I do some caning!  Will wash with Murphy's oil soap, when it warms up, take out old caning and get started!  My first caning job for 2012!!
