Mom and I had a busy day. We started off with a little housework and some crafting. I sorted through one of my jars of buttons, deciding which ones I realistically might use and baggings up the rest to give away.
My main reason for sorting through buttons was so that I'd have easy access to the size needed for tatting these crosses. I do like this pattern, Coronavirus Button Cross by Laura Blanton. It takes me about two hours to tat one of these crosses, which is pretty good time.
It's been a while since I've tatted an Ice Drop. It felt good to get back into the Ice Drop groove!
I finished my sixth pattern repeat today. Mom is quickly catching up to me, the difference being that she's on her second border and I'm still on my first. I am enjoying knitting this Orenburg warm shawl!
I love the way all the colours - including the ribbon - match on your ice drop. A lot of our trees are getting autumnal now, and looking very pretty. Won't be too long now before Christmas, about two months I think!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves on our trees are starting to turn. We mostly see yellows, but I do love seeing red leaves every once in a while. Two months... yikes! I haven't even begun to think about Christmas!
