<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I would like to say a very special THANK YOU to everyone who has been praying for my son Levi. Please continue praying for him, not only physically, but spiritually and mentally too. It is getting to be a struggle for him, with him missing his little girls so much, and being away from home. He is such a worker and doer, he NEVER sits still long. I think he would be lucky to sit still for even 15 minutes,,,so you can imagine what it would be like for him to have to lay still. He does get up and walk around a lot at the hospital (they couldn't keep him down long at all, even with all the pain he is experiencing). </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">He says right now he feels like every nerve is now exposed (I can imagine). But he is healing! Not sure yet how long he is still going to be in the hospital yet, last word, it sounded like he does have a couple of areas that are going to need skin grafts, but the doctors want to let him heal more. He was soooooo fortunate considering being by himself at the time, and still driving himself to the hospital. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Thank you all again from the bottom of our hearts, for all of your prayers, wishes, comments, support and encouraging words! </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Blessings to you and yours,</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">The Faulconer Family</div></div>'RainbowRose' Connie Faulconerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17414582375044331412noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761053895325623017.post-69505487912529528202011-03-30T15:16:00.001-07:002011-03-30T15:16:37.906-07:00Prayers please!!!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I hope you all don't mind me asking here,,, </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I would like to ask for prayer for my Son (Levi). Last Saturday morning he went to work and ended up having a gas can explode on fire all over him. Thankfully he kept his head enough, he got out of his burning clothes (top half), put out the fire on his pants, and drove himself 15-20 minutes to the hospital on his own. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Later that day, the flew him out to a burn center in Seattle, Washington,USA. So far he has mostly 1rst and 2nd degree burns from waist up. He may have 3rd degree under one arm, and a spot on his chest. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">He had just started this job too, so they have no money and no insurance, you can imagine what they are going to be dealing with. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> The hospital hasn't even given them (him and his wife) much info, as they are still waiting to see just how bad the burns are. So should know something hopefully in the next day or two. He is doing better, and when he called today, he said he wasn't hurting as bad. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">He also two small daughters. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Anyway,,,thank you for your support and prayers everyone. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

I've been searching out some new patterns for 'simple' projects I can make to help with our income, no matter how little it helps. I seem to find there are a LOT of BEAUTIFUL and ADORABLE Japanese/Asian/oriental patterns out there, almost more than there are 'English'. I LOVE using charts, and for the most part, I can follow charts pretty good. BUT,,,,I am finding a LOT in foreign languages, I just for the life of me can NOT figure out.<br />
<br />
Can ANYONE help me please. Here is a sample of one, I just don't understand at all.<br />

YaY!!!!!!Hello fellow bloggers and readers :)<br />
<br />
I'm back into tatting again after taking a bit of a break.(Too long of a break at that!)<br />
I've started working on bookmarks. They can be so quick and make such nice gifts or sale items (that is with permission from designers :) of course).<br />
<br />
Here is what I have been working on. The first two are Gina Butler's "Basic Ring-Chain Cross Bookmark" which pattern can be found <b style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2002/ginabcross5.html">here:</a> </b>I used Lizbeth Size 40 thread. The first one is done up in colorway "Countryside" and the second one is done up in colorway "Purple Splendor". I just LOVE using these threads!!!<br />
<br />

This was sooo much fun making. I could sure tell it had been while since I had any real tatting. I had to re-do this EASY book about 3 times :( I kept messing up, dumb mistakes grrrrrr. I also used Lizbeth size 40 on this one, the colorway is "Falling Leaves" I actually made it before I did the two above Cross bookmarks. </div><br />

I have been invaded! LOL!!!WoW what a fun week! I decided sort of last minute and talk about sliding into home base, to join the contest Isdihara at <a href="http://ambitatterous.blogspot.com/2010/11/chocolate-box-contest-update.html">Ambitatterous</a> is having. She is going to be giving away a wonderful prize! Personally I don't think I stand a chance as there are some really BEAUTIFUL entries. All the same,,,it was a blast joining in on the fun. As you can see my little buddy just had to get in on the fun. Barely kept him out of the chocolates! I think though if you look close enough you might find a little 'evidence' left behind :)<br />
Sooo after thinking a bit on what sort of theme I could come up with,,,all I could think of was how 'chocolate' should be in EVERY tatter's first aid kit (unless you are allergic to it of course, then something else). Soo here is what I came up with!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7RUDjkRCX8BlsrGMVqIZWY0CiXn8m1FQVqZJfAdcxeeEdZKEyn9teH1UefS8_pTwYpJrc6QU3eJ1bhiTy82oFdZwcVNFlLQ4YaCy9kCLF1qlCtQePM33eQRtsAocDnNBHobms0C-7_Q/s1600/DSCF2043-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU7RUDjkRCX8BlsrGMVqIZWY0CiXn8m1FQVqZJfAdcxeeEdZKEyn9teH1UefS8_pTwYpJrc6QU3eJ1bhiTy82oFdZwcVNFlLQ4YaCy9kCLF1qlCtQePM33eQRtsAocDnNBHobms0C-7_Q/s320/DSCF2043-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I used a regular chocolate box, (only one I had in the house ha ha ha) and covered with wrapping paper. Then went to work tatting away. :) I used chocolate colored DMC crochet thread and wanted a 'chocolate' theme of course. Those letters weren't the easiest shaping. I found I have REALLY gotten rusty in my tatting.<br />
The little bears you can find the pattern here by our wonderful creator Heather at <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/heathersdesigns76/the3bears.htm">Heather Designs </a> The lettering I used Josephine stitches (hope I have that right) LOL!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvx7gH_uUBsTsDXUa3SWdCJOfQ6Et3DlOaO4WAhs7mbWG0A3k521V4Va0loOEG9sUBU79VR9sHYCsbPU1H8g-wGfI4LSHDWWErHmL8CRW6xRp6A9RIOt8bK3b86ePIrVPeJVU4G_fQ01Q/s1600/DSCF2033-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvx7gH_uUBsTsDXUa3SWdCJOfQ6Et3DlOaO4WAhs7mbWG0A3k521V4Va0loOEG9sUBU79VR9sHYCsbPU1H8g-wGfI4LSHDWWErHmL8CRW6xRp6A9RIOt8bK3b86ePIrVPeJVU4G_fQ01Q/s320/DSCF2033-1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then the amazing part is just before I found out about this fun contest,,,I came across a crochet pattern for making these yummy looking chocolates.!You can find the pattern <a href="http://blog.innerchildcrochet.com/?p=421">here</a>! I of course had to put them in their own 'paper cups' Using a 'basket' pattern I found in Rebecca Jones' Complete Book of Tatting,,, I created these little lacy paper cups. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then the icing I also tatted using the Josephine stitches.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well I better get this posted or I will miss the deadline, if I haven't already.

I still like how it turned out. </div><div>Oh guess I should get ya all the link before I forget :) The site she found was <a href="http://free-tatting.com/?p=29#more-29"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Free-Tatting.com</span></a> The thread I used here is DMC Cebelia in the lavendar size 10, I just had laying close by when I found the pattern and of course happen to have a shuttle handy!

I'm not sure I am too please with how the 'leaves' lay, but my friend who I made the necklace for (her daughter actually) loved it. So I guess that is what counts. The teardrop shape ivory is actually a prehistoric critter tusk. It is mastodon. The tatted rose of course is one of my favs, by <a href="http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2002/jlrose/jlrose.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">Jeanne Lugert</span></a>, her 3-d Rose Earrings. Here I used a black size 10 crochet thread, probably coats n clarks or something like that. And then in one of my tatting thread exchanges,,, (Please forgive me I can't find my notes or remember who) gave me some beautiful gold metallic thread, I separated and used in the rose and then the chain.

Not going to say all of it is 'constructive' but busy. I have managed to get in a little knitting here and there, a tad of tatting, a bit of crocheting,,, gardening, having a BLAST with the grand babies!!! And learning some strategic games online. Otherwise you will likely find me in facebook. </div><div><br /></div><div>However,,, I have a couple of friends are working on me, getting me back into the tatting mood. The past 9-10 months have been a little rough, dealing with some issues. Hopefully they are subsiding, would be better is they would disappear completely :)</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway,,, I'm going to try to make an effort to do a little more blogging. A couple of ppl have told me they miss me blogging. :) Thanks ladies! </div><div><br /></div><div>Well about all for now. I do have tons of knitting pics, some tatting pic, from my last tatting exchange I think to post when I get to it.

Peach is now home! We got her home yesterday afternoon. She is definitely almost back to her old self again. It is so great having her home! <br>I am a little upset with the vet's office. The told me over the phone I had a little credit coming,,,,, LITTLE is RIGHT, a whole whopping .72 cents. They made it sound like it was definitely more than that. Then there was NO instruction care at all, just 1 bottle of anti-biotic and 1 bottle of Vitamin K pills to give her,,,,,,and then they left the 'IV' needle (stint) in her leg still. And like I said not a single set of instructions! <br>At least she is OK though!<br>Here is a picture of our furry baby!<span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SXnq9goKCtUAAFSKX-01"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SXnq9goKCtUAAFSKX-01/06-16-2005c-007-Peachi.jpg?et=1HQwDzu8Te7x%2Bjo8TyRz5A&nmid=0" border="0"></a><br>This is a few years ago it was taken though. She hasn't really changed any. <br><br>It is also snowing today. At least we had a nice break from 'new' snow. Though the last week almost 2 we didn't have much melting as temps stayed pretty cold. This weekend is when another 'artic' front is coming and it is suppose to get back down into the single digits again! UGH!!!<br>I won't get it done today, But I'll try get all of my latest tattings, and knittings posted this weekend. <br>Hope everyone is ready or is having a GREAT WEEKEND!!! Stay warm all of you in COLD areas!!!<br>Blessings N Thank you for your prayers for our little dog. Please add our youngest son to prayers now! <br></span><br> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>'RainbowRose' Connie Faulconerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17414582375044331412noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761053895325623017.post-58113240677097237012009-01-19T18:14:00.000-08:002009-01-19T23:14:50.068-08:00I must apologize,,,,I must apologize to everyone who takes the time to read my blogs. I didn't get the tatting posted for a few reasons. First we ended up getting our grand daughter for the weekend. The got to also have 'Mom' 'Dad' and 2nd grand daughter for Sunday afternoon. Besides I was working on finishing up a couple projects I had going and now today,,,well today our little Pomeranian isn't doing too good. We don't know what is wrong with her. I am praying she will make it through the night and I can take her to the vet in the morning. We don't have the money in anyway,,,so I don't know if they will even look at her. If there was a way I would take her right now. But this little town,,,I doubt we could get someone to look at her anyway. <br><br>Anyway. I'll post things when I get the chance. And update you all. Right now, I just can't focus too well. <br>Catch you later, Blessings, <br>Connie<br> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>'RainbowRose' Connie Faulconerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17414582375044331412noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8761053895325623017.post-30753146341529347772009-01-15T02:46:00.000-08:002009-01-15T07:46:14.753-08:00Rosebuds After Below Zero temps<a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZDgoKCtUAAFAmGrA1"><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZNgoKCtUAAHROnaE1"><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZXwoKCtUAAHrnyrc1"><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZegoKCtUAAHa5unQ1"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><span class="insertedphoto"></span> Here are some photos I took of what was left of my rosebuds during our 'below zero'<a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZegoKCtUAAHa5unQ1"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a> weather we had in Early Dec, late Nov. <span class="insertedphoto"><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZDgoKCtUAAFAmGrA1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SW9ZDgoKCtUAAFAmGrA1/winter-2008-09-001-HeartOfGoldAfterFrosted.jpg?et=PyAP%2BA6pQVYCbp4m5AuHPw&nmid=0" border="0"></a></span><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZXwoKCtUAAHrnyrc1"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZegoKCtUAAHa5unQ1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SW9ZegoKCtUAAHa5unQ1/winter-2008-09-003-FrozenRosebud3.jpg?et=9Pwy7F3lq4sso4J1NhaqbQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZNgoKCtUAAHROnaE1"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZDgoKCtUAAFAmGrA1"><span class="insertedphoto"></span></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZXwoKCtUAAHrnyrc1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SW9ZXwoKCtUAAHrnyrc1/winter-2008-09-005-FrozenRosebud2.jpg?et=5mWbcefFdDG5d06ydOgmfQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZNgoKCtUAAHROnaE1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SW9ZNgoKCtUAAHROnaE1/winter-2008-09-002-frozenrosebud4.jpg?et=C0qUF7g%2CmV%2CxKY5sKk7D1Q&nmid=0" border="0"></a><a href="http://rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SW9ZpAoKCtUAAARL@4Q1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.rainbowroseconnie.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SW9ZpAoKCtUAAARL@4Q1/winter-2008-09-006frozenrosebud.jpg?et=mwtrwIbeFhnRn4LCs7LdXQ&nmid=0" border="0"></a><br><br> <!-- multiply:no_crosspost --><p class='multiply:no_crosspost'></p>'RainbowRose' Connie Faulconerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17414582375044331412noreply@blogger.com0
