I really did have a great day of tatting and crafting planned out, but once again I let myself become distracted.
I must have spent three hours flitting from one page to another on the Internet. It all started because I wanted inspiration for my next band. I never did find what I was looking for, and to top it off, I didn't get my loom warped... not good!
I needed to move around some, so I worked in my sewing room until lunch time. I didn't accomplish much... I spent too much time looking at the books I was trying to organize. I did manage to gather up two bags of trash. That's progress, right?
After lunch, I sat down with my tatting. I finished "Maria" from Tatted Bookmarks ~ cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn. I had started this cross yesterday, but I made several mistakes. Why does it take so much more time to fix a mistake?
Once again, the left-over thread on the shuttles was used for an Ice Drop. I really like the way this one turned out!

Sounds like a good day to me.
ReplyDeleteNo 2 days should be the same :-)))
ReplyDeleteThat cross is awesome in that colorway!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd another great Ice Drop!!! :)
Just thought of a question-can bands be woven with words on them?? Maybe your name, or Tollway Tatters?? Just wondering. :)
DeleteYou accomplished a lot for one day and kudos to two bags gone. Love the Cross and Ice Drop in that colorway. <3
ReplyDeleteAs I un-tat, I always have that same thought... why DOES it take so much longer to fix one small mistake than the hour you spend tatting many repeats? : ))
ReplyDeleteSuch a good way to use up thread left on the shuttle. Well, some days are more productive than others, so be it.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a good job salvaging your day. Sometimes I think I should just shut the machines off- but then we would never have met...
ReplyDeleteSo I'll happily take some lost time for the pleasure of getting to know you and other tatters as well!
DeleteThat lovely farm looks like it has everything, including caves! Kind of unusual. I'm intrigued how the loom fits in your lap.
