HEIDI'S BOBBIN LACE

These are lace pieces Heidi has made for me over the years. I treasure them all. She is one very talented girl and I am so glad she is my daughter
This is the bedspread for my dollhouse, a red and green doily and two rings to go into glass for candles.

A bookmark and small doily

My favorite, a beautiful doily. There is another one I forgot to take a picture of, it is also a doily, in a frame made to display lace

A pretty little red doily

Lace made to frame a picture

A star to display a candle, a bookmark and a paperweight. A key chain I am supposed to use, but don't. I keep most of the pieces displayed under glass on

my dining room table.

MY WIP NEEDLEPOINT

I bought this needlepoint in Canada a couple years ago. I went into the shop hunting Anchor yarn and came out with all this yarn plus this canvas. Needless to say, my wallet was lighter by the time I got out of the store.

I am trying to motivate myself to now finish it. I really like it but out of sight out of mind. I thought if I put it out on the frame, I might get with it.

TO ANSWER THE COMMENTS............

This is a sweater I made Bill a few years ago. He says now you can see Student/Teacher

Elly, Yes, the project will be ready for me to bring to Holland.
Carolien, Yes, he will become a master, he is always talking about ideas he
wants to try.

Teresa, Yes, I have a very talented family, I am very lucky

Mandie, Just keep knitting, there is nothing you cannot do when you try, I
know this is true.

Margaret Not anymore, he will buy his own yarn. He is using some now left from the afghan I made him. I did buy the grey for the sweater. Yes, he can also chrochet.

Joni, Bill is my oldest son, the one we talked about. He will read the comment and see your request for Dark Red. LOL

Nancy, For Heidi, the word is SPOILED, not lucky.

Thanks to everyone for all the nice comments you always leave on my blog.

DON'T TELL HEIDI SHHHHH

Bill, sitting in his sweater he knitted, is here knitting again while waiting for time to leave for work. He wants to try different patterns and this one is for, yes Heidi, for you.

He is planning the next thing in his head as he is knitting away. He has lots of ideas, so I told him he better design his own projects.

As before, perfect stitches Bill. Good work.

A GIFT FROM MY SISTER, RUTH

My sister gave me a subscription to this magazine and I mentioned it yesterday when I posted my award from Robin. Heidi said I now have to show the book since she has never seen it. It is pictures from the 30's, 40's and 50's.

Ok, Heidi, I bet you remember the top doll, Poor Pitiful Pearl. Heidi always chose dolls that had the oddest looks. Did you have this one, I can't remember.

Ok, I had to show this one. When I was in High School I worked in SS Kresge's in Canton, Ohio.

I met my husband Bill there. He was in manager training. We were not allowed to date fellow employees, guess that idea didn't work well. LOL.
The man who painted this said he did it from memory of his childhood. It is Marietta, Ohio. He started painting it in ninth grade.

I GOT AN AWARD TODAY

Thank you Robin (Bittersweet Punkin) for the award. I will pass this award to Teresa at (Sew Many Thoughts) and Christine at (The Little World of Christine). Have a great day.

For Christmas, my Sister gave me the subscription to the magazine Reminisce. I received the first one today and I am really enjoying it. What a fun magazine it is.

MESSAGE FROM KRISTEN

Kristen, Christian Crafter, wanted me to tell you, she has no computer right now so is unable to post or to comment on any blogs. She is moved into her new home and loves it, but they have to get internet installed. They still have a few things to move but most is done. Haali and two of her friends worked and got her room all finished yesterday. Military kids know how to move, right Heidi?

This is the real Kristen when all is calm. She will be there again soon I'm sure. Glad the move is going well Kristy, we miss you online.
