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!
Happy Birthday!!! And thank you for sharing ice drops with us so many years ago. 🥰
ReplyDeleteThank you for the birthday wishes, and you are very welcome!
DeleteHappy birthday! And blogversary. I like seeing the different crafts you do and glimpses into your life. This bookmark is lovely, the thread suits it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane! I enjoy reading about what you've been making as well. Some day, I hope to conquer spinning!
DeleteHappy birthday! I always enjoy seeing your beautiful creative projects on your blog. You're an inspiration! Keep going, girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Happy Blogiversary! You are one of the more consistent tatting bloggers I know of, and one of the few who is still blogging regularly.
ReplyDeleteI love that Frills pattern! I think it's my favorite from Robin's Bookmark book.
