Peony Ice Drop

My task today was to turn Samantha Melnychuk's "Peony" snowflake in to an Ice Drop. I think it turned out rather well! The pattern can be found in Teeny Tatted Snowflakes. My next challenge will be to take on one of Samantha's split ring patterns. I know I can do it!

Tomorrow is going to be another fun filled day. My sister is going to visit with her two grandchildren. I haven't seen Gavin and Abby since last summer, so it will be great to see them! 

Another fun day!

Before visiting my sister-in-law today, we washed cars. The little ones wanted to help, but they kept dropping their sponges in the gravel. Believe it or not, we did not want gravel scratches on the cars! So, we sent them over to wash the lawn mower. They loved it!

On the tatting front, I worked on "Peony" from Teeny Tatted Snowflakes by Samantha Melnychuk. I would love to say that I'm going to tat all the snowflakes from this wonderful book, but I'm not sure that will happen. The rest of the patterns have split rings in them, and split rings are not my friends! I did try, unsuccessfully, to tat two of the other snowflakes. I just could not make my fingers work properly. I won't give up, though!
