I used up the thread on both shuttles at the end of a pattern repeat! I wonder if that will ever happen again? I'll rewind my shuttles before going to bed tonight. It seems that once I get past the halfway point on a round, my shuttles just fly. Maybe I really will catch up when we're on spring break next week!
I managed to finish ten more buttons for Rita today. I think setting a goal of ten button flowers per day might have been too much. Maybe I'll cut it back to seven for tomorrow. I need a little more tatting time to stay happy! ;-)
My head's kind of spinning. You're working on so many things at once; and you're now 'on the map' at that store! But it's fun to see so many different kinds of buttons and how neat they look with color! Good idea to cut back the production quota. Don't get 'burned out'! I'm exhausted just watching you! Congrats on finishing the knitted coverlet. I wouldn't find it easy to knit with that size needle, either.
ReplyDeleteMy head's kind of spinning too, Kathy! I think I'm going to enjoy retirement. :-)
DeleteStill awesome progress going on!! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't know how you manage to make prettier and prettier flowers but you do.
ReplyDeleteI take no credit, Jane. Rita provided the buttons and the thread. I just sit and crochet!
DeleteI love the buttons. What thread do you use?
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will catch up, and love the button flowers!
ReplyDeleteThe doily just keeps looking better and better. It is odd when both shuttles run out at the same time, doesn't happen often to me, either. The buttons look great. I just got a jar of buttons from a flea market and I'm thinking of trying a few myself, but with tatting instead of crochet. You have inspired me :-)
ReplyDeleteDiane - what thread do you use for the buttons? All the extras from your tatting?
