Projects, Websites, and Mom

Maybe it's the season, but I've been looking at clothing websites. There's the legging shop I mentioned in the last post (I ordered a pair from their sample shop to try them). There's also this one, which makes the clothes to measure, when you order them.

Then there's these undersleeves. I really want the jersey ones, the lace ones, and the bell lace ones; in black and ivory, maybe in white. I have at least 2 or 3 sleeveless shirt, a couple cap-sleeves shirts, and one or two dresses that these will work with.

I am working on pendant for my niece (she doesn't read my blog, so it's safe to talk about it). I'm tatting a bezel for a penny minted the year she was born. I have a moleskine 2017 planner for her, too. I'm using Diane's icy drops pattern.

I went to see Mom this past Sunday. It was not a good weather day and the drive back was horrendous. But we went to a used bookstore to get her a new dictionary. Her current one was pitiful; thin and large print. We got her a good one and a couple other books beside. I also delivered her jade plant. I'm still looking for a small aloe plant.

I wrote and mailed my Christmas cards. I don't think I got everyone but it was a good 1st batch. I got all my aunts, my one uncle, my Dad and stepmom, and responded to one card. I have finished much of my shopping. I just have a few things yet to pick up. Either that, or I've forgotten whole swathes of people.

I don't have any new pics to show, sorry. I have pictures of a couple tatting books I want and a business card for a place that might carry tatting supplies in the area. But I'm not sure anyone would find that of great interest.

Thanks, Kathy for the heads up.

Website: Someone went through Google image search to find pictures to match the words of Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. The person did a good job, too. That reminds me, I don't own the album. I think I'll buy a copy of the song from iTunes, if they have it.

Christmas cards: I have finished all my cards but the one to Aunt Lillian & Uncle Sherwood (Granddaddy's youngest brother & sister-in-law). I just need to seal & mail them.

Books: I finished A Clue for the Puzzle Lady by Parnell Hall. It has a crossword in it. I'm going to copy that & then try to solve it. I also read Vol 1 of Ranma 1/2.
