Bazaar...

Just up the street at Oak Heights Elementary School on Saturday, gosh lots of work for not as much return as I'd hoped, but it is good to be out there to see what people like, and awfully good to meet some wonderful people, including my neighbor Lindsay who sells delightful and useful baby and children's items, also online at: www.facebook.com/lipglossandlittleladies --check her shop out!

Down time on Turkey Day..

leads to  walking the dogs in the pouring down rain (Chelsea loves to chase a ball regardless of conditions, Tug is a little smarter), building this little cutie bird's nest, and knitting a scarf with this amazing yarn.....

Vintage Rhinestone Earrings

Love these amazing vintage rhinestones! Here are a couple pair of earrings I made. Wouldn't these be great for this time of year?

The Wedding

My nephew's wedding was wonderful, my photo's awful. The reception was at the amazing Hotel Deca in the University District, and this was one photo that turned out okay of the amazing chandelier above our heads.  Note to self: use a flash...

More Onyx..

I thought this photo was rather amazing.....my old workhorse Canon died and I am left with one that doesn't have as many whistles and bells but sometimes the light still cooperates!

Sometimes the light.........

Baby Shoes!

My project this weekend was two pairs of baby shoes for a dear new mom to be at work, and I was tickled with how they turned out....hmmm, what other fabric can I make them out of? I used a pattern from Precious Patterns on Etsy, here's a link to  her shop:   http://www.etsy.com/shop/preciouspatterns
