Just one skein...

was all it took to make these three pieces!


The thread is Bell Peppers, size 20 HDT from Sherry Pence aka LadyShuttleMaker. The patterns from top to bottom are "Honesty" from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior, "Stumpy" from Kersti Anear, and "Spinning Wheel Glass Mat" from Tatting with Visual Patterns by Mary Konior.

This is the first time I've worked with a skein of HDT until it was all used up! I have little bits and pieces wound around bobbins in little boxes and bags around my sewing room. Maybe I'll start using up some of them now!

Tantalizing tootsies

After seeing Fox's latest post, I just had to dust off my totally out-of-character shoe purchase from a couple of years ago. These are without a doubt, the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I own, but I just can't part with them! I wore them to school one time, and the kids thought they were wonderful... too bad they kill my feet! Yes, my skin really is that pale... I think I need to spend a little time in the sun! Anyone else out there have some funky shoes to show off?


On the tatting front, I just had to start another Spinning Wheel Glass Mat. I can't help myself... I LOVE this pattern! The thread is one I've been holding in my stash for the perfect project. What could be more perfect than Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel? The thread is Bell Peppers from Sherry Pence aka LadyShuttleMaker. In my humble opinion, HDT is the best thread to use, and I have plenty to play with!
