Frills

Today marks 19 years of blogging! I can hardly believe it. I started my blog on my 55th birthday, and today I turned 74.

I've never been one to keep a journal, so when I was encouraged by Sherry Pence aka LadyShuttleMaker to start a blog, I was hesitant. There have been some years when I've posted frequently, and some when I didn't post much at all.

I enjoy having people leave comments about my posts, but my main reason for maintaining my blog was to keep myself inspired to create and to keep a record of my works. I wish that I had posted more during the lean years!

I only worked on one project today, "Frills" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. The thread is size 20 Hakelgarn, hand-dyed by LadyShuttleMaker, and the color is Autumn Medley.

It's been a while since I've tatted this pattern, and I thought I could fit one more pattern repeat and still have it fit the bookmark sleeve. However, I didn't want to take a chance and have part of the bookmark sticking out. I should have taken the chance!
