What's new, pussycat?


With the beginning of a new month, I decided it was time to get back in to the Ice Drop groove. My supply is seriously depleted, which is a good thing, but I want to make sure I have plenty on hand for the holidays. This is the basic Ice Drop pattern with five graduated picots in Lizbeth Spring Green, not your typical holiday colors, but I like it! The shuttle is from Grizzly Mountain Arts. Isn't the cat adorable?


My tatted hanky edging is coming along slowly but surely.


Ella's afghan is growing. I'll need to crochet faster if I'm going to finish four afghans in time for Christmas!


I spent time decorating bottle caps today. I have some ideas for these, so stay tuned. Who knows? I may come up with something worth trying!

  1. Wow on the decorating of the bottle caps, your good😃 also those colors on the afghan are really pleasant they should make a tatting thread these colors👍 and finally I was wondering when I would see an icedrop again we are suffering from withdrawal.

    1. The bottle caps are quick and easy. I found all the supplies on Amazon, of course! Hmmm... thread idea... if it works for yarn, why not thread? I have been kind of lax with the Ice Drops this summer. I guess part of it is that I feel like I should be designing more, and I'm just not in the mood for that. Back to basics!

    1. Aren't we lucky to be crafting when so much variety is available?

  3. Lovely ice drop and shuttle,
    Your hanky looks beautiful,
    I wonder if the bottle tops will end up in the ice drops???

  5. The plain green ice drop is kind of a misfit among the splendidly colourful happenings ;-p
    I'm guessing you painted the caps and used round stickers? Eager to see more of their future transformation

    1. No painting involved! I found them already painted on Amazon. If I had to paint them, there would be no bottle caps!
