Ya think it'll float?, AND "cast 15!

Sounds like a David Lettermanhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qfBVw5Ilcc Will it float episode. Bradley is making a boat for the Pirates/Caribean theme for the Prom this year. We have threatened my DD that after it has been used at Prom we are going to take it for a "ride" down the Shenango River to see if it will float. DD gets in first then we see how far she can go. Seriously, I think the darn thing could float!\

He did not use any plans...just made it up in his head...A vVERY scary place, his head!

Episode 15 notes;

Where I talk about how great podcasters are. "cept me! Recorded the episode 3/28th.

Tidying up the basement...what a mess it gets to be! I am such a procrastinator it is revolting! I did find the photo's don't know why but they weren't actually lost I just couldn't find them? I was soooo happy to find DD #1 and her babies!! I had had such a nice pic I was sad to lost it!

The yarns I mentioned:

The blue is much darker in real life Jitterbug 118 and the purple is Socks that Rock Jubilation
The others are the "ones that got away"...Cascade Yarns Pearls in 9843 purple. This is the one DD thought was icky and would net let me send to Darlene. Sorry Darlene!

And the manly colors from Panda wool that DH will never see! Ah well...they will look good on me!

"Where you at?"

Tatting Episodes 14 and 15 in the can!!

I have just posted a podcast..and have another actually recorded and ready for uploading next week ! Can you actually believe it! It is so shocking!! I lost some of my pictures of works in progress and my new grandbaby girl...attack of the DD killed it! I re-took some pics I will put up of what I am up to! I was asked to remember to put in links to mentioned sources so I am trying to update these. The pic to right are the Japanese texts I use most; the pic to left are Iris' books from which the third pic is taken. That was the reference to the doily I am working. What do you think of the thread? I am not likin' it. Maybe just a bit too off the path? Below are the sources I used for the current works in progress.

Thank you again and again to Trayna for the thank you call from Scotland!! I am still using your accent...badly! I so love that sound! A true friend was just found! Darlene almost wrecked her car getting through the tape on her package! Look for a new contest in upcoming months.

Congrats to http://www.tattingchic.blogspot.com/ for her 100th posting crikers gal! When do you find the time!!

February and it looks like spring, tatting and knitting and spinning are going crazy over here!!

Well, I got another podcast up. It looks like I am good at monthly though I keep trying to get it done bi-weekly...maybe sometime! Thanks to all who listen and especially to those that left (yes, I did solicit it) responses!

The winners of the contest were Trayna and Quiltsalot. Trayna is a tatter from Scotland!! Neat!! Quiltsalot is more of a knitter...we will work on that won't we gals and guys!! Get ya tatting too!! Please send me a email at gjdiwpx@aol.com to let me know where I can send your surprises!!

I am trying to upload some pics but having some trouble. Above is Lucky gasp....biting my knitting!!! Argh! Can't tell ya how often my knitting get lighter all of a sudden only to dicover one of the brood has bitten off the yarn! That is my shawl still in progress. The spinning is on my new Holly from Journeywheel and is spinning a...I must say so myself...incredibly thin Soy Silk I bought at Natural Stitches in Pgh. It is so fine I am going to try to tat it!! Neato!!

To work now...It is Thirsty Thursday so as soon as I iron tomorrows work clothes I am havin a beer like every college kid in the nation...the bad ones that is!! Toootle loo!!

Two podcasts for this week folks! It does not rain...it pours. I am listening to the first one and it is not too bad but for some reason the audio got goofy at the end. I wanted to show you my lovely desk. I am in the process of a podcast in this photo...see the audio in blue on the screen. Scattered over my desk is tatting, knitting and spinning and a bunch of books I was discussing! If I ever clean it off I will show you what it really looks like. bradley (DH) made it from a 100 year old door! It will be sold with the house as it is way to heavy to move! Below in 'Nectarine' from Shuttlemaker is Teri Dusenbury's "Sadie's Heart". The shuttles are two tatting guild shuttles from Shuttle Shoppe; the bottom shuttles are also Shuttleshoppe's Butterflies.

Finally, my new Spindle from Holly from Journey Wheel.

Correction: Nectarine is from the Yarnplayer, not the Shuttlemaker as I said in podcast http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5144028. Excuse my error



Think about leaving a comment about the podcast on iTunes and I will be doping a drawing for February. Tatting for tatter's and Knitting stuff for the knitters!

Thanks for stopping by!! Love ya!
