3/4

 

I can't believe I'm 3/4 of the way finished with round 11. This was a fairly easy pattern repeat to memorize, which makes the tatting go so much more quickly.

This weekend is the high school drama club production of Bandstand. Dave and I will be attending all three performances, I hope!

Not too tired to tat

 

I followed my chiropractor's instructions and took a short walk this morning, only ten minutes. Boy, did that ten minutes wear me out. I really didn't have much energy left for anything.

I did, however, get a good start on round 11 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. For this round I am using size 20 Lizbeth #649 Baby Blue. I really like the way it looks next to the purple!

Round 10

My chiropractor told me to rest, so that's what I've been doing. Tomorrow, I'm supposed to take a short walk in the morning, and if I'm up to it, another short walk in the afternoon. I'm not supposed to go back to work until next week. I guess I'll be following doctor's orders!

The result of all this rest is that I've completed round 10 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I have not been spending all of my time tatting. My hands wouldn't be able to handle that. However, I have been tatting more than I normally would in a day.

I tatted round 10 in size 20 Lizbeth # 647 Purple Iris Dk. I really like the way this is turning out!

Pressed and ready to go!

 


With Dave's help, I hobbled over to my pressing station and pressed Sue's table runner. I hope she likes what I've done with it!

After a trip to my chiropractor, I spent time working on Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. I really thought I had tatted much more than this. Maybe I dreamed that I was working on it while taking a nap today!

Sciatica

 

I finished the crocheted edging on Sue's table runner today. I still need to steam the lace edging. Once that's done, I'll give her a call to see if it's what she was hoping for.

I've been dealing with sciatica pain today, so I haven't felt like doing much. I did make a little progress on round 10 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2026. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day!

Lots of crochet

 

Today I spent a lot of time working on Sue's table runner. I really thought I could finish it today, but I have quite a way to go.

I did manage to quilt six more blocks today for a total of 36. I used quilt blocks as my break for all of the chores I needed to work through today. I only have 12 blocks to go!

Quilt day

 

Today was a busy day with lots of back and forth in the car. So, I didn't have time for much crafting. I did manage to finish another six quilt blocks for a total of 30. I should be able to have all 48 blocks within the next week!
