Feeling Better

Pearls & Lace

Good afternoon, dear readers!

I am feeling a bit better today.  This allergy season has been a rough one!  Plus, the weather down here doesn't help.  It will be nice, warm and sunny one day, then rainy and almost freezing the next.  It keeps swinging from one extreme to another.  Let's hope the worst is over.

 

It's been a while since I posted some tatting so, I'll show you a few of my many works-in-progress:

 

 

The motif on the lower left is the Easter pendant I started.  I am contemplating what to do next as my original idea did not work out to my satisfaction.  The motif on top is being made to go with a wonderful top I wear to church.  And the purple motif on the lower right is one of the pendant foundations I posted earlier in the week.  I've actually finished 7 pendants, but will post images of the pendants when I get at least 10 to 12 completed.  Who knows- I may have to do a special blog giveaway event.  What do you say???

 

Well, I need to get busy in the Atelier.  May you have a wonderful weekend full of creativity! Until Monday~

Happy Tatting!

 

 

 



Staycation Day Four

Celtic Faire

Good afternoon, dear readers!

 

We have had an absolute ball today!!!  After a lazy morning, we headed out to Corney Lake.  The picnic lunch Jocie & I packed was delicious.  We lazed around in our lawn chairs for a bit, then proceeded to play off road in the Jeep.

 

 

Here's Jocie behind the wheel of the Jeep- ripping through a trail.

 

Rosie Fey was riding shotgun and did very well.  She was securely buckled into the backseat via her harness.  At the lakeside, Rosie was most interested in the coots that were feeding nearby.  She would cock her head and listen to their noises, but could not work up the courage to go charging in after them.

 

Rosie is ready to get back in the Jeep and go again!

 

We will be heading out on a little jaunt tomorrow, so I probably will not be able to post until much later.  Hope you are having as wonderful a week as we are.  I am still slowly working on the Easter pendant and will have it finished soon.  Until tomorrow~

Happy Tatting!

 

 

 

 

 



Staycation Day Two

Celtic Faire

Good morning, dear readers!

 

Today is going to be full of laundry chores, tatting and the cleaning out and organizing of my various portable Ateliers.  I have a large chest that I use when on extended trips and several small boxes and such for shorter trips and jaunts.  As I am in the midst of designing a new collection, they all need revising and organizing.

 

After playing with Rosie Fey, I worked on the Easter pendant.  This is where it is at now:

 

 

I plan to add another round or two with some interwoven chains around the perimeter and am still contemplating what to do with the center.  Any suggestions?  I'm leaning toward a pearl with a purple seed bead accent, but may see how it looks with a picot laden ruffle center in lavender.

 

The washer just quit, so I need to pop that load in the dryer and start the next load.  Then it's onto ironing and folding.  Jim is busy with various yardworking chores.  Jocelin is supposed to be cleaning her room...yeah, right.  After I get 3 more laundry loads done, I plan to take care of organizing the portable Ateliers and then work on the Easter pendant this afternoon & evening.  Hope you have a great day & until tomorrow~

Happy Tatting!
