Lovin' the Charcoal Med

I really like this shade of gray, or should I say charcoal?

My little girls finished their pin cushions today, and true to form, I forgot to take pictures. :-(

However, I did remember to take pictures of the pin cushions I completed today...

I have 18 completed, and I plan on taking them to a craft show this weekend. It's been years since I've tried selling at a craft show. I've never had much luck. If these pin cushions and my scarves don't sell, I think I may be all set for Christmas!

Pin cushion passion

No, I haven't given up tatting. In fact, I was able to accomplish quite a bit today.

I would have finished, but my Internet was down for about seven hours, and I foolishly kept trying to fix the problem. About 7:30 tonight, it magically came back on. I guess I should have ignored the outage.

It was easier to work on pin cushions than tatting while fiddling with connections.

As a result, I've finished six more pin cushions. My little girls are coming for their sewing lesson tomorrow. I'll try to remember to take a picture of their pin cushions!

Inspired by gray

It does sound a bit silly to say I've been inspired by gray, but it's the truth!

This beautiful thread was in the bag that Jane Eborall won at Palmetto Tat Days. The photograph does it no justice. The thread is so shimmery and soft to the touch, and the color was absolutely gorgeous1

I didn't have any Mimosa thread in my stash, but I did have some size 80 Lizbeth #607, Charcoal Med. I do like the way it's turning out!
