It started out with sewing and knitting and as years went by I feel that I really graduated up to a lot of better things. My mother greatly influenced me as she to did sewing, knitting and tatting. I am a member of Lighthouse Lacers, I.O.L.I, Inc. and the Heartland Lace Group. I like to take pictures, even more now since I have gone digital.Barbara Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16845583757479690660noreply@blogger.comBlogger7125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763168139981321758.post-79867895413474116532014-06-22T20:48:00.000-07:002014-06-22T20:48:08.593-07:00Sheep and Wool Festival (My first)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">I was lucky enough to be able to go to the convention this year and I car pooled with seven more ladies from my lace group. Having met a lot of people on the internet only and now being able to meet them in person was also a great treat! The store opened up at 9:30 am and we got there just before that, so shopping we went. I ran out of money as usual and used my plastic only twice, so that's pretty good. I took a lot of pictures, so lets get rolling here!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is Marilee, Mark Tat-man and myself. I visit both of their sites quite often. (The original picture disappeared, so I had to replace it with a smaller one)</span><br />

This yarn is absolutely beautiful I have one of the books, but no yarn yet. Again, some day! If this yarn could be purchased somewhere around here it sure would help. The lady said no, so if anyone knows of a place, please let me know!<br />

I have been invited to join in a friendly game of tag by Margaret. From her blog at http://www.margaretstatting.blogspot.com/ I will be responding.<br />
<br />
Here are the rules:<br />
<br />
1. Link back to the person that tagged you.<br />
2. Post the rules on your blog.<br />
3. Share 6 unimportant things about yourself.<br />
4. Tag 4 people at the end of your entry.<br />
<br />
<br />
About Me:<br />
<br />
1. As a child I wanted to take after my mother and do the things she did such as sewing, knitting and even tatting.<br />
<br />
2. In my family I was the cleaner upper of everything.<br />
<br />
3. I love animals, but can only have birds, two cockatiels.<br />
<br />
4. A habit I am trying to break is, I love chocolate!<br />
<br />
5. I own four embroidery machines and three serger's. (Way to many!)<br />
<br />
6. I live in an apartment. The master bedroom is my sewing room, computer room and supply room for most of my books for all of my hobbies. I can barely get into my walk-in closet. I have to start getting rid of some of my material!<br />
<br />
The next four people whom I am going to ask to join in this game are:<br />
<br />

Once a year we decorate the window at the library. This year the theme was on Knit and Crochet Lace. We have a room across from the window where we demonstrate or show some of our finished projects. I didn't bring any work in progress this year, but I did bring some of my finished works. Another member of our group Marilee from yarnplayer, brought her camera and took more pictures. I have posted her site on the right so you can see the pictures she took.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lighthouse Lacers Activities and Accomplishments<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTV_UVXS_gzNbCTfkIASUoItAzCyhnui3DMaqzgcAOrBUVPgJdMkICbqYaWhglMYZgF5DRLe5K8jec40-rScaPt_usELuygmY73QusTUPTDsZvmCFMLyblQ_WO_Ghec2M_hnFJAPfSx8/s1600-h/P1010136.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpTV_UVXS_gzNbCTfkIASUoItAzCyhnui3DMaqzgcAOrBUVPgJdMkICbqYaWhglMYZgF5DRLe5K8jec40-rScaPt_usELuygmY73QusTUPTDsZvmCFMLyblQ_WO_Ghec2M_hnFJAPfSx8/s320/P1010136.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177218471983763602" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>Our group also goes on a retreat once a year to Green Lake , WI to a conference center where we have a nice large room to do our work in. We stay from Friday night to Sunday noon. Last year we worked on Bruge Lace and although it was a small piece, it was quite involved for a lot of us. Most of us finished up our first piece and started on a second with hope of doing more of this lace in the future. This picture is the view we can see right outside the windows from the room we are working in. We have been staying in cabins for the last few years that are fairly close to the Conference Center. Here is a picture of the cabin we stayed at last year and we just loved it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX9jLCLoRRSDFYlDMjhkfPMhfY5mb9Uaq88ribcKGrIyCj_e0XqLLxnHplRaeRUB2EioZhcaKoVf0vowhc4ObAUMjqrebEqH9q_Uq-fOCVGyRPgHmfFkChl3816cA7-XqgAnH3taHCsc/s1600-h/PA271073.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwX9jLCLoRRSDFYlDMjhkfPMhfY5mb9Uaq88ribcKGrIyCj_e0XqLLxnHplRaeRUB2EioZhcaKoVf0vowhc4ObAUMjqrebEqH9q_Uq-fOCVGyRPgHmfFkChl3816cA7-XqgAnH3taHCsc/s320/PA271073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177224287369482418" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Yj2-KwgPRpXDQv2XqWgmHvdEM0sd4rlXgl0rkT7c0JJOrZdzWyHSiWx76_RA5QHFW0h28-QCGmZXQXvPJ00ZFVqVDw-5UiMQ7trQ1-KR3wCA4YCE6flojnscPAhsIkzVl2wy0PGz4yg/s1600-h/Christmas-Tree_Hospice.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Yj2-KwgPRpXDQv2XqWgmHvdEM0sd4rlXgl0rkT7c0JJOrZdzWyHSiWx76_RA5QHFW0h28-QCGmZXQXvPJ00ZFVqVDw-5UiMQ7trQ1-KR3wCA4YCE6flojnscPAhsIkzVl2wy0PGz4yg/s320/Christmas-Tree_Hospice.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5177221426921263266" border="0" /></a>Every other year our group decorates a tree with all handmade ornaments. We started doing it for other organizations, but the turnout wasn't quite what we wanted. We than started doing it for the Hospice House in Kenosha, WI. We started there quite a few years ago and now that we have started with them we found that we were able to get not only more money for our work, but more money for them. They have been displaying the tree at different businesses here in the city and also at the Hospice House. The money collected for the last three times has been roughly $1,300 and I think that's showing pretty good turnout.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>Barbara Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16845583757479690660noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763168139981321758.post-16718321845784252622008-02-27T20:55:00.000-08:002008-02-27T21:10:19.321-08:00My Next ProjectI have really fallen behind on everything because of a serious illness in the family, but I have just decided tonight that I think it would be better to stay busy doing something creative rather than just sitting around reading books, which I do love to do anyway, but I don't have much to show for it after doing that. So here is what I have decided to do. With my new book that I just won on eBay, I am going to start doing motifs from it for my 25 Motif Challenge and then along with that, in the end I am going to be using a group of them to make a picture to hang on my living room wall. It's not all talk because before writing this I have already started it. I will only say that so far I am disappointed with the thread size and shuttle that I have chosen to use, but it was the color I was more interested in. I will be explaining more about this as I go along.Barbara Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16845583757479690660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3763168139981321758.post-74124678914066133432008-02-07T18:48:00.000-08:002008-02-07T18:53:42.822-08:00I Will Be Adding a New Book To My CollectionI was just brousing around in eBay the other day and I came across this tatting book called "Tatting Motifs" by Rosemarie Peel. Today I discovered that I won it! I am hoping now that I will find a lot of real nice motifs in there to add to my 25 Motif Challenge.Barbara Gordonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16845583757479690660noreply@blogger.com0
