AUGUST OTTBS CHALLENGE

Well, this months challenge was a challenge. Of sorts. Trying to finish my OBS challenge & with the fires here in Oklahoma & my son & his family home in the path, I didn't think I could get it done. I had something else in mind to make, however, I was running short on time.

So I took my challenge a twist off of  Deborah Roberti's Twila Curve Bracelets. It is easy and fast. Thanks Deborah.

ROLLER COASTER RIDE

I can't believe it's been a month since my last post. I've been on such a roller coaster ride lately, I'm just glad I know my head still attached to my body.

We had fires here in Oklahoma & my son was part of it (weekend of August 3rd.). He and his family had to leave home on Friday & didn't get to back home till Tuesday. The in between times tho, just had you going up and down. First fire heading to their home, then the wind changes & home safe, the wind changes again. This went on all weekend long. They got to walk property on Sunday cause fire got within 1/4 mile & fire department & my son was checking for hot spots. But they still could not stay due to the uncertainty of the fire. They finally got to sleep in their own beds Tuesday evening. Said it smelled like smoke, but was very happy to be home. They have been very fortunate. I am so happy things are looking good for them. They worked so hard the last 9 years to get to this point. Today they have been married for 9 years. Happy Anniversary Frank & Tina!

Now then on to my OBS challenge project. After several attempts & ripping out at least half dozen times this is what I will be putting in. Called "Su-da-li" (pronounced Sue-dah-lee). Cherokee word for Six. That is my entry number for the challange

My earrings on the other hand are not what I really wanted. Don't know if there will be any. Still got couple more weeks to get it figured out.
