I have been very lax with blogging lately. I've been busy, in a relaxed sort of way. I get plenty done, but I'm working at a very slow pace. There's no need to rush, because I'm not going anywhere!
Jane Eborall has been busy translating and drawing A Bow called Medina. Last Thursday, Jane asked if anyone would be willing to test tat the pattern, and I volunteered. I was concerned about tatting the top part of the bow, but it turned out to be a pretty easy pattern to follow. The tails were another story! Again, the pattern is pretty easy to follow, but I made the mistake of having conversations with Dave while tatting. I found several mistakes as I was tatting, but once I was finished, I found even more!
Don't be put off by this pattern when Jane posts it. It really is enjoyable. The next time I tat it, I'll make sure Dave is outside working so that I can concentrate and not lose my place in the pattern!
While I thoroughly enjoyed testing the pattern for Jane, I felt the need to doodle with Ice Drops! This is the Doodle Ice Drop pattern with beads in place of picots.
Of course I then needed to tat another!
I've been managing to get my 10,000 steps in each day. I keep going outside for fresh air, so I'm probably missing phone calls. I'm not very good about checking to see if someone has called. I figure that if it's important, they will call back!
