100 Days of Doilies Day 57

My sister, Judy, wants in on this! here's one of those little rose doilies I gave her a million years ago.

100 Days of Doilies Day 40

Little wee doilies.

I made these in the 90's.

I remember giving one to a boy in Deanna's class after he admired my work. He wrote me a sweet thank you note which I kept until recently. It was in a tin that did not make it back to me from Colorado. Oh well....

I also remember that same boy using the doily for printing in art class a few years later lol.

100 Days of Doilies Day 17

The infamous Cluster Stitch Doily. I first attempted this pattern way back in 1982. I think I still have that doily. You may see it here soon. Anyways.... this doily shown is also from the Japanese thread score. I no longer own this though as Deanna gave it to her mother-in-law for the December gift giving thing. It lives on her mantle. I made one just like it for my landlord back in Colorado too. It makes a good gift, it does, it does.

100 Days of Doilies Day 9

A sweet little doily in a pattern I used a lot back in the mid 90's. Thread from Karen at Library.

I'm sending this one to a friend in Ohio. (After I starch it, duh)

Wee Gifties for Staff Appreciation Day 120/365

I had plans to sew the rest of the gift bags and start on the T-Bird quilts today but noooooooooooo. After a restless night in which I didn't fall asleep until 3AM I was rudely awakened by a phone call at 7:45 AM from the school informing me that my step son was being belligerent AGAIN! I ended up having to walk down there which, OK , I was planning on doing anyway but at 2PM not so dang early.

Here's what I got done last night. Three bags for females with dishcloths and gum included so far. I think I am going to make up some of my CDs for their summer listening pleasure and some giant M&M cookies also lol. The men will get playing cards, gum and cookies as well as the CD.

The principal, Dr Bonds, gets a T-Bird Crazy Quilt and I will give a second one away as a Grand Prize. Good thing I work best under pressure.

Angelia's Doofy Hat 56/365

Angelia has been begging for a doofy hat for almost two years. I reckoned it was high time she got one.

Three strands of sport weight purple acrylic, one strand of shiny shiny thin metallic yarn in shades of lavenders, Black worsted weight acrylic with the metallic for tassels and by itself for the edging.

Noah's Gifts (Skully hats rule!) 53/365

I told Noah Scalin (of Skull a Day fame) I had a hat for him. Well I wanted to wait until his 365 Journal book got here before I posted this...IT CAME TODAY!!!! So here's your hat and another wee skull giftie for you Noah. (I'm really sick because I missed getting a picture of a cool hand painted Truck with skulls on it Sunday. Would have been awesome on your blog)

Can't wait to start my journal!

Skully Hats for Holt's Niece and Nephew 46/365

Holt requested two hats for his niece and nephew (I am assuming they are in Canada,eh). Guess which one is for the niece...seriously, guess.

LadyK's Jewel Tone Scarf 34/365

Does anyone here play Zuma Blitz on facebook? I do. I'm not addicted I can quit anytime I want. Yeah uhm...anyway.

LadyK is my top competitor along with my daughter and son in law. She also plays guitar and knows a lot of the same people online that I do. She asked for a scarf with purples, blues and a touch of hot pink. I can do trhat! It's soooooooooooooooooooo pretty I want one for my self.

So here's something I am finding myself doing....I am making notes of which yarns I would really like to replace when I get to buy stuff again. Maybe I'll start a journal with samples n stuff. I like the purple fuzzy stuff in this scarf.

Some Happy Campers 33/365

I have asked everyone who got gifted to send me a picture but only Sue and Robbie have obliged. I think they are happy don't you?
