25 Motif Challenge

Both this doily and motif are from Wally Sosa's Tat-along Projects 2002!

The doily I used Clarks O.N.T 6-chord Size 30 in a varigated blue.
My blocking didn't turn out so well. LOL At least this one laid somewhat flat though a little wavy. My first doily (still in the unfinished box) is probably going to be a basket of some sort with the way it cupped (haven't scanned it yet!

Here is the link where to find:

This motif is my second attempt at using beads! My blocking didn't turn to well either! My daughter still really likes it!

The thread used on this is a natural (I think no color number or color was listed) J.P. Coats Size 20 Best Six Chord Big Ball. The beads are black seed beads I got from Ruth Perry's Online Garage Sale. I don't know what size, I am guessing they are 11/0.

Well today I woke to a SURPRISE!!!! We had about a foot of snow through the night! It warmed up enough during the first part of the day that it melted down to about 6 inches. As I am typing this, I am seeing out my window a GORGEOUS full moon peeking out through some clouds. Gonna be a pretyt COLD night tonight!!!

More Snowflakes!!!

Made up a few more snowflakes! Think after these I may take a break, though I have to do up an order first. These I tried stiffening them with hair spray. Doesn't work too bad actually. Could be just a touch stiffer, but otherwise sure not as messy as the glue/water combo.

Hope you enjoy!

These are actually silver with silver metallic thread! It is hard to get the metallic thread to show up, with the scanner.

Special prayer request!!!

I have some dear friends who have asked for prayer,,,so I am posting a copy of the request,,,,please all prayers warriors pray for this situation!

Shalom dear friends and prayer partners,

We really covet your prayers for a need that is hitting our family. At 9 am central time and 10 am eastern time our daughter Dana and our granddaughter will be going to court to have her ex-husband's rights revoke to visit her's/his daughter because of the fact that he has fallen far from grace. He is an alcoholic/drug addict and has done things with our granddaughter that is not fitting. There will also be coming up another court case against him which, if convicted, will get him jail time. We ask that you pray for Dana and our granddaughter for the strenght to go through this trial and that ALL the truth will be revealed...NO MATTER WHAT IT IS. And that the lies that he and his mother will swear to in court will stick in their mouths. We also ask that you pray that this will in NO WAY scare our granddaughter. And last but certainly not least, we ask that you pray for her so-called father(Jeff). NO ONE is beyond help when they are placed before the throne of Grace. Please stand in the gap for Jeff that Father will open his eyes to how deep he has dug the hole that he is in. Thank you

In His Service,
Frank & Carol

We want to thank each one of you for your prayers and support for Dana and her daughter. Please continue to pray, as Jeff's lawyer found a loop hole that said the case had to take place in Tennessee, and not in Arkansas. So this means it will still continue. Please pray that this will soon be over. Thank you so much. Frank and Carol

Thank you too from the bottom of my heart! Hugs N Blessings in Yahshua's Precious Name!

How about Snowflakes!!!!


Well, I have been busy crocheting up some snowflakes for friend's business. I got about 36 done. Now I just need to make some more black ones and some silver ones. I thought I would share with some of the snowflakes I have done. The two slightly different designs with the picot are all done from a pattern I got off the web where I re-designed the pattern so that it has a large opening in the center. The snowflakes with only picots around the outside is called "Regal Snowflake" design by Julie A. Bolduc and the snowflakes with the picot petals on through the flake, the original design is "Snowflake 2". I'm not sure who the original designer is as there is no name on the site where I got the pattern. Then like I stated, I re-designed it giving it a center hole for attaching little danglies in. I do hope you enjoy looking. Some of these are actually made with threads that have a metallic thread running through them, though it doesn't show up too well in some of the photos.
