I feel very lazy today, and I though I hadn't accomplished much However...
It talked to my Mom and caught up on craft and family activities.
I talked to daughter Alison about recipes and lots of nothing.
I helped Dave empty our closed and move everything upstairs so that he could work on our bathroom.
I made breakfast and lunch.
...and I tatted! Not much, but I did tat. This is one pattern repeat of Edging 5 from Heritage Patterns by Norma Benporath. I like the way the pattern flows, but I need to work on picot sizes to determine which size picots are need where in order to make it work as an edging. I think I will be revisiting this pattern!
I managed to fit in another Ice Drop. This one is based on #37 of Patti Duff's Minitats. I'm really lovin' the red and white!
I pulled another one of my little books off the shelf, Nice and Easy Tatted Edgings by Diane DiRosa Biswas. The edging is "Itsy, Bitsy, Baby" and it is super simple! I played around with picot size and spacing a little bit, but I guess I wasn't in the mood to do much experimenting.
I wasn't able to find this book at Handy Hands, Tatting Corner, or Lacis, but I did find 5 copies at DS9 Designs under Catchpin Goods. It's a nice little book for beginners, or someone looking for super simple designs.
Oh, dear! I'm feeling the urge to start another Ice Drop! ;-)
