Valentine's Day Goodness

Go on and embroider these, paint them over some kitchen linen, print them out and give them to the kids to color... Whatever!

Thank you for all the warm New Year wishes, ladies. I hope this will be a blessed year in the lives of each one of you and your family members.

E para as minhas amiga que falam Português (ou Espanhol, mas entendem o idioma um pouquinho ), que 2011 seja um ano de muitas benção para vocês e seus familiares.

Here are the last 2 kitty patterns. Actually, 3: Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy!

Ok, since yesterday was kind of a rocky day for me and I have been worrying about the baby because I started eating smaller portions at meal time because of the GD and such. I was feeling so week my husband took me to the ER. Everything was fine, they said, and my glucose was at 120. Still, until I get an ultrasound done and see the little one moving and doing his little dance, I won't have peace. Mama says I've been feeling weak because I'm used to eating as much as a peon and now I have to eat like a bird. lol Whatever, Ma! You're probably right.

I didn't post the Tuesday pattern and for that, I apologize. Here it is, along with the daily one and a little bonus. I hope you'll enjoy! XOXO

Hubby went voting this morning. I was like: "I 'wants' to vote too, I care!". Then  before getting out of the house and a phone call later, we find out that Georgia laws prohibit me, a Permanent Resident card as well as a Social Security card holder to vote for anything! I do know it takes being a citizen to vote for certain positions but it seems in Georgia you must be a citizen to vote, period. Good old South! Thank you for other 3 years of jury duty free life! Because that's how long it will take for me to be able to apply for citizenship. Went to Michaels to buy some yarn after that. Life is good.

Yet, another Treasury on Etsy: Fruit Punch.

Ever since I've changed my blog to my own domain last night, I cannot see any of the old comments people have left me and there are other small glitches, too. I'm sad... But I got stuff to share: cool vintage pictures of people knitting or crocheting or just modeling some groovy stuff. I think it's awesome that a whole new generation is crocheting and knitting, and embroidering... again!!! Moi included. But then, again, I have never stopped.

WOW!!!

I couldn't help but being awed by these baby pictures of Queen Elizabeth II, in celebration of her 84th birthday, according to Yahoo.com. Wasn't she a cutie-pie?

I totally snapped the other night and ordered several Blythe dolls (how expensive those little suckers are!) as well as some Master Piece and probably a Berenguer one (I've lost track by now). I know, I know... I have never before blogged about my (re) new-found love for dolls. It all started back in February when husband gave me a... how do we say... remake of  the 1966's stewardess Barbie doll. She is gorgeous! I need to take pics. Then came Master Piece's baby Sidney and Berenguer's baby Leonor. As I post is too late to shoot some pics. I like the day light. Gosh, 3 of them are scheduled to arrived any time!!! I cannot waaaaaay!!!!!!

Tenho que postar essas fotos de um artigo no site Yahoo. Para a comemoração dos 84 anos da rainha Elizabeth II da Inglaterra, serão publicadas algumas fotos da soberana quando ainda bebê. Aqui estão algumas delas. Que bebê mais fofo, não?!

Eu pirei totalmente noutra noite e encomendei algumas bonecas Blythe (eita bonequinhas caras!), algumas Master Piece e, provavelmente, uma Berenguer (Já perdi até a conta). Eu sei, eu sei... Eu nunca postei sobre meu renovado amor por bonecas. Tudo começou em fevereiro, quando meu marido me deu de presente de aniversário uma Barbie aeromoça, reedição de1966. Ela é linda! Eu tenho que tirar fotografias. Daí, veio a bebê Sidney (Master Piece) e a bebê Leonor (Berenguer). Enqunto post já é tarde pra tirar fotos. eu gosto da luz do dia. Meus Deeeus, 3 delas estão pra chegar a qualquer momento, hoje!!!! Mal posso esperaaaaar!!

Pattern extracted from the this 1975's book called "Make It Yourself". Of course my knitting skills are not that good (yet) but I'll get there. Meanwhile, I would like to share it with you girls (or guys).
