Staycation Day One

Celtic Faire
Good afternoon, dear readers!
 
It was so nice to sleep in this morning and be lazy.  We are in the midst of a bit of Spring cleaning and a few other activities.  Jim is bottling his most recent batch of stout beer, Jocelin is tending to her chickens and I've been taking tatting breaks in between Spring cleaning chores. 
 
I found some lovely lavender AB Swarovski bicones whilst cleaning and had to stop and play a bit.  This is what I'm working on:
 
 
The thread I'm using is Valdani Luxury Pearl Silk in S49 (Subtle Elegance).  There are also quite a few Czech seed beads, too, in a nice purple/lavender color.  I'm trying to decide what I want to do with the center- add a lavender freshwater pearl or do a fluffy picot center in a complimentary purple.  What do you think?
 
Our Rosie Fey is growing like a weed!  She is 10 weeks old and is so full of energy and attitude.  Here are some shots from our walk in the Piney Woods yesterday:
 
"Where's that squirrel, Mama?"
 
Pollen is everywhere!  My boots are a very dark brown, but they were totally covered in pollen with just a few strides in the woods.
 
Here she is, being sweet for her Mama.
 
Well, I had better get back to the cleaning.  I'm sure the scrubbing bubbles have done their thing in the bathroom.  When I'm through there, I hope to get back to my tatting project.  Have a great day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!

    Your thread may be called Subtle Elegance, but your pendant should be called Total Elegance!!! :)

    Gods kid is so right and Fox has summed it up, there's not much left for me to say. It's beautiful, it's too cold here for a walk anywhere, with a bitter easterly Russian wind blowing across the UK, it's not spring it's more like January, parts if the country have snow drifts of twenty feet.
