I did manage to finish a Masquerade square before I went to bed last night. The end is in sight!
It was a good mail day! I received my nylon mold from Linda Williams, along with lots of goodies! I love the card she made, and she also sent me an Ice Drop. This one's definitely going on my tree!
Linda also sent a bag of cabochons and the Oren Bayan thread she likes for her boxes.
Lucky me... Linda also sent a jewelry set. I have a silver neck chain that will work perfectly with the pendant. Thank you for everything, Linda!
Inspired by Linda's fabulous package, I decided to sit down and tat with metallic thread. I chose to experiment with Liz Metallic Rose. I plan on this becoming an Ice Drop. I even remembered to take notes this time! This pattern will not work for the nylon mold, at least not with the Liz Metallic. The motif is too large, but I think it will make a pretty Ice Drop.
I did spend some time writing up a pattern I designed a week or so ago. Several people have asked for the pattern, and I really had to think about what I had done. I've decided it's time to keep a design journal so that I don't forget what I've done!
This evening I started the last row of my Masquerade doily... only four motifs to go!
That was an exciting package!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was! I hope to have time to work on my first basket today!
DeleteOh, oh so many exciting things! I think a design journal is a brilliant idea for someone ,Ike you who makes so many new and interesting designs. Loving the masquerade and the pink metallic!
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for my stencil to arrive so that I get off on the right foot!
DeleteI love that rose metallic - it’s a beautiful color and will make a beautiful ice drop! I agree with Michelle - a design journal is a great idea for you. I see it was like Christmas at your house - what a fun package!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful color. It reminds me of rose gold, which I love!
DeleteLooks like your creativity is taking another step with more things to tat around!! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful items, and the doily is wonderful!! :)
Diane, what's the nylon mold for? DH is looking for nylon stock into which he can make inserts for bird feeders he is making. I'm a lazy librarian and haven't looked for it myself -- yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
