...following my heart, dreams and Jesus

Hi There! I am still around! Life just keeps on rolling along and I am trying to keep up with it! I had a request from a Tatter who shops at my Etsy for Halloween theme "ONS". This was a bit of a challenge for me... BUT I made a few. They turned out so cute, if I do say so for myself! If you are looking for some, just take a trip to my Etsy Shop, "  Yesterday's Scraps, Tomorrow's Treasures  " Here is an example of one! Thank you for looking and I hope all are doing well! ~Karrieann

What hatched, you ask? These beautiful "ONS"! Click to Enlarge  I needed to add more "ONS" to my Etsy Shop,  Yesterday's Scraps, Tomorrow's treasures . I had so much fun in decorating these new order of "nekkid" Clover shuttles. It amazes me that as I use up my scraps of fabrics that it appears... it doesn't even put a dent to my collection of scraps! I wonder... if they just keep multiplying when I am not looking? I am looking forward for March 17th.. to celebrate one of my heritage. Happy St. Patrick's Day to Y'all. Please be safe. Catch You Later, ~Karrieann

I have been having so much fun lately with dressing up the poor nekkid tatting shuttles! (For the story about "ONS", the once nekkid shuttles click  here  ) I dressed up so many of them... 17 of them in fact! I try real hard to do my part in this world, dressing up the nekkids! They are fashionable in many colors! Some even make a statement! Some even go wild! (this one below has been sold) Some like to be subtle!  ...sold Some are fruity! And these are just few of the examples of the latest fashion in the world of  "ONS"! All of these and other ONS can be found at my  Etsy Shop! I have also been busy with tatting! I been tatting up butterflies and they are taking over! But a gal gotta pay up her dues! My dues for the tatting guild that I belong to!

What are "ONS" you ask? I am so happy that you asked and I am happy to share that with you, with a story! The Story of how the "ONS" (Once Nekkid Shuttles) came to be.  Once upon a time, the tatting shuttles were feeling a wee bit... um.. well.. nekkid! The Nekkid Shuttles wanted to be pretty and not plain, not that there was anything wrong with being plain. These shuttles just wanna have fun!  They searched deep into Karrieann's box of scraps, scraps long forgotten. The soon-to-be "ONS" found a heap full of delightful scraps suitable for their "fun" purpose and using what was already available is a very wise thing to do! Karrieann was enlisted by the soon-to-be "ONS" for their fashionable attire! Love and patience went into each individual nekkid shuttles. Soon, one by one the nekkid shuttles bloomed into proud "ONS"  Now each tatter who proudly own an "ONS" or two...or three... will be able to tat without e...

Yesterday was my Hubby's special day, his birthday!  Sooo, did we do anything special?  Well, we did take care of our errands and contacts. Then got some gasoline for my vehicle. Gas prices... OUCH! Then we went to a restaurant in town, one that we had never tried. I have no idea why we haven't gone there for the whole 7 years of living here! Well, we are pleased to say that Mike's Pizza & Sub was well worth the wait for this realization! Hubby and I ordered the Bistro Burger and fries with sweet tea for Hubby and unsweetened tea for myself. The burger was as big as the plate. Below are some pictures to illustrate that! Mike's Bistro Burger, step by step, sizzling on the grille! Let's get it together! All together now! ...borrowed these photos from Mike Even though I was hungry, I was unable to finish my burger. I ate 1/4th of it and packed up the rest to have at home for the next meal and the next... See, it is big! Bistro Burger is 3/4 ...

I finally added some of my "stock" to my etsy shop! Everything and everything is made by me! I am trying to get back to making things. It is good therapy for me. I like sewing, crafting, tatting... ahhh the list could really go on and on. I am blessed for having being surrounded with generations of creative and artistic talents! Anyways.. I needed to have an outlet for all the creations! Or I'd have no room to roam in my home! There is a widget to the right of this blog that show various of items that are for sale at my etsy "Yesterday's Scraps, Tomorrow's Treasures" shop... for your conveniences !
