Wire Wrap Jewelry for my Sister in Law, Darlene
I created these designs for my Sister in Law, Darlene. My Brother brought back this beautiful blue saphire and some blue lapis from his time in Afghanistan and I told him I would make her some earrings and a pendant. This is the result. What do you think?

OMG!! I've discovered filigree!!
I have discovered filigree and with the help of the internet and a wonderful Book called "Silver Threads", I have been making some awesome filigree pendants. Well, two to be exact, but I'll be making more. What do you think? A little rough, but still beautiful, I think, I want to add some gemstones and I want to figure out how to add the little silver balls, without melting the thinner wire. Hmmmm!! Any suggestions?

OMG!! Not Again!!!
Soooooo Frustrating!!! Everytime I use this "Dream Machine", The darn thing freezes up, I mean, really freezes up!! All I was making this time was these little blankets, a total of 4, and BAM! I'm almost done, and what do you think happens? This stupid machine locks up. I've got to take it in again!!! Does anybody else have this problem with their Innovis 4000 D. I WANT A NEW MACHINE!!! I have had this one for 2 years, and it's in the shop as many times as I have used it.
I had to switch to my old standby, my 33 year old singer futura. At least it never gives me any trouble. Never been in the shop, never misses a beat. It just can't embroider like these new ones!!!! UUUUUGGGGHHHH! Why does it do that!!!!
Anyway, here are my finished blankets. Thank Goodness I was done with the embroidering, so I could complete them on my old faithful.

The birth of a new TattBaby - Abel - Sons of Anarchy, has been born!!
This little TattBabie is Abel, from Sons of Anarchy. He was born today, and Nyah is thrilled to show him off.
Here are a few more pictures of Abel before he even had a diaper. While Nyah keeps him warm, I am going to make his little doo rag, diaper cover, and blankie. Tattbabies.com is the babies adoption site, and is at the moment under construction, but, will soon be up and running.
