Busy Busy Bees

I have been so busy, but busy in a good way. First, design! my sister actually helped me design a bear last night. Its a single shuttle bear, which means that its pretty difficult to do. There is SSSR and Split rings and thrown off rings and joins, and its pretty cool. I just need to work out the kinks. It really boosted her interest in tatting.

Second, I got a van, its so pretty, but there are things, as we go along, we find we need to fix or upgrade. Here is a photo.
We need to get new tires. But i am really excited. I really want to keep this van up, and not let it putter out like my mom did to her car.

My sister came over Monday and left today. My niece....my niece is very, too cute. Just like with Anavay... too cute i wanna kick. :) but don't...get real! lol

I received a desk from a friend that was broken and i fixed it. As i type i am at that desk. And it is very sturdy...I am so proud of myself for fixing it.

Well. I really actually need to go find some fun stuff for the kids to do... I'll hopefully post the bear pattern later this week.
