Ice Drop tutorial

Friday, February 10, 2017

Having fun!

Today was laundry day. It may sound strange, but I really enjoy doing laundry. My morning is automatically divided into chunks of time, and I like to set goals for those chunks. Sometimes it's cleaning, and sometimes it's crafting. Today it was a bit of both.


My plan was to tat just one Eightsome Reel motif for my sister-in-law's runner.


Sometimes plans are meant to be changed!


Because I tatted two Eightsome Reel motifs, I only had time for four Ice Drops.


I don't know if you can see this little cat charm or not, but it's really cute!


The Rainbow Taffy thread is so cheerful!


All of the charms I used today are from a pack of 100 assorted charms I found on Amazon.


I love the dove!


This cute little owl made me smile!

Daughter Alison and kids are coming down to visit tomorrow, so I don't think I'll be doing much tatting. It's a good thing I had plenty of time to tat today!

    1. Yes. Unfortunately, I had given away all my tiny flowers to a friend for scrapbooking. I've been using up the bits on my shuttles as I finish Ice Drops, but I don't have much to work with yet. Of course I could do something really bold and tat flowers just for my Ice Drops! ;-)
