We had a very busy weekend with work around the house and spending time with family. Saturday was very hot and humid, but Sunday was absolutely gorgeous!
Somehow, I can't stop myself from collecting tatting supplies, and I love collecting bags. This weekend I received two of Jane Eborall's Roly Poly tatting bags. These are perfect for carrying around in my purse! I was only going to order one, the one on the left. However, those cute little bugs were calling to me, so I had to have two.
I finished the last of my skein of the pretty blue/green. I didn't quite have enough thread to go around the button. It still makes a cute pendant!
Moving on to another hand-dyed thread, I was in the mood to tat another Curds & Whey bookmark from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior. The thread is Just Daffodils by Tatskool. I could not get a good picture of this thread. It is absolutely gorgeous!
I love the way the colors flow on the Workbasket cross pattern. I am so glad I decided to start using my hand-dyed threads. Life's too short to save everything for something special. Sometimes we need to enjoy what we have right now!
The bags reached you quickly. Yes, yes, use those gorgeous threads! I like the button with tatting part way round, space for the chain, very effective.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bags did arrive quickly and I'm already using them! I do like the way the button looks partially surrounded by tatting. Sometimes it pays to take a chance!
DeleteGlad they arrived safely, Diane. Love that cross at the bottom - the colours are great.
ReplyDeleteI do love your Roly Poly bags, Jane! The bright colors in these two bags really appealed to me. I need to replenish my cross bookmark stash. We went to my granddaughter Eva's 19th birthday party on Saturday. I took some tatting along, and her friends claimed all but two of my cross bookmarks. Who knows... maybe someone will ask to learn how to tat!
DeleteThose are great bags!! :) I too thought those bugs were cute!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tatted pieces!! :)
Thanks, Sue! Now I need to work on finishing the projects that are in each of my tatting bags!
