here's another pix of baby Ryan

she isn't too happy with this little beret-- or the other one, either!

"Leave me alone, mammam, I'm busy minding my own business!" ;>)

Going Back to Crocheting....

I'm been taking a break from beadweaving for a bit and doing some knitting and crocheting. Made a few crocheted afghans for daughters and making a red one for Coke Collector Hubby right now--

For another little break, I've been making sweet little hats for baby Ryan --( who weighs almost 19 lbs ---she's 5 1/2 mos. old!!!---has 2 teeth!!!) okay- back to the crocheting ;>)

I remembered how cute the babylicious berets turned out when i made them for the twinnies and thought I'd make some to put up in my Suchandsort Shop-- http://suchandsort.etsy.com --we'll see if anyone else thinks they're cute, too!

my valentines

I've been working on these- but i think i've finished the last one--just listed it tonight--( the little cupids sold superfast ;>))) )

they're altered Altoids tins, that i've kept for years, meaning to do something with them----of course! ;>0 so, it's done- no more usable tins...that i can find right now!

back from self imposed hibernation---again! ;>)

between taking the hubs to drs., going to the drug store, attending my 'stitch and bitch' sessions ;>), watching all the girlies and de-hoarding --time has again flown...

i did make a few Valentine goodies, putting another one up on etsy tonight--one sold-whoopee--working on some calendars for the family, crocheting the hubs a red afghan ( he's a coke collector--so....)--not much beading/beadweaving, though. i'm having a problem with bead embroidery around a metal face- i know there was a reason i didn't want to beadweave around cabs!

here's a new picture of the sweet little ryan---isn't she cute? but--i am her grama!

Sweetie Girl Ryan

Here is Ryan, all dressed up to have her first picture with Santa! She looks as though she doesn't really care, though- or else she's ready to pop Santa in the mouth with one of those little fists---she's in her own little baby-world! ;>)

Back Again!

I can't believe that it's almost 2010!
Happy New Year....

I've been trying to 'red up' ( on old Pa Dutch word!) around here, watched the baby for a while today---she was a fussbudget---and finally fell asleep on my chest---for over an hour! But she did sleep :>)

I had some time to list a new Peyote Cuff that I finished over the holidays---I love this robin's egg blue of the seedbeads and have had them a long time- trying to come up with something I liked---then bought the Vintaj charm and decided I loved these beads with the brass of the Vintaj charm---so here it is....

Oh- and here are the Goodman Grand-girls

in their matching jammies!

Joely, Ryan in the middle and Jillian on the right...aren't they cute!?!
