I helped out with play practice again tonight. Since I don't attend all practices, I think I get a better feel of how far the kids have progressed. They have five full cast practices before opening night. I think Shrek Jr. is going to be great fun!
It's been a while since I've participated in Georgia Seitz's Online Tatting Class. When I saw this week's lesson, I knew I had to give it a try. The butterflies are tatted in size 80, and the rest of the snowflake is in size 20. I can hardly wait to see next week's snowflake!
Again, it took me two days to finish a Curds & Whey bookmark. There are a couple of glaring mistakes in this one, glaring to a seasoned tatter. I missed one join and joined in the wrong place on another pattern repeat. It's still a pretty bookmark, and I don't mind keeping this one for myself!

Beautifully tatted flake !!! Your bookmarks are coming along nicely 💜💚💙💛
ReplyDeleteThanks! I did need to use some Best Press so that it didn't flop all over. Time to tighten up those stitches!
Deletethis flake closely reminds me of one I make a couple of years ago and I used the same colors too I do love it so :) and the bookmark is great! I like tatting with character :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tatted anything like this snowflake before. I enjoyed it, and of course it got me thinking of all sorts of ways to use what I learned!
DeleteThat’s clever, to make the butterflies in a finer thread. Not even a seasoned tatted familiar with the pattern would spot any missed joins, so add it to stock!
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of doing the butterflies in finer thread. It does work well!
DeleteAwesome snowflake!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnother great bookmark!! I think mistakes are a nice way to have a few things for myself. ;)
Thanks, Sue! I don't mind keeping the ones with mistakes. They are a good reminder that none of us is perfect!
DeleteCan you imagine if snowflakes were really that big. Or that colorful? It would be a different world in the winter!
ReplyDeleteIt sure would!
DeleteI like playing with two sizes of thread too. Amazing how it gives an almost 3D perspective to a piece.
ReplyDeleteIt does! I guess I'll have to do some experimenting with threads!
