Feeling accomplished!


I find that if I wind my shuttles before going to bed, I accomplish much more the next day. I love this shade of pink. It's size 20 Lizbeth #621, Dusty Rose Lt. I have quite a few handy-wind shuttles from Grizzly Mountain Arts. With so many shuttles in my collection, it's easy to forget which ones I enjoy using, and I do love my handi-wind shuttles!


This Doodle Ice Drop is in size 20 Lizbeth #628, Salmon Med. I feel so accomplished when I manage to tat more than one Ice Drop in a day!


I had another good knitting day with my Sanditon MKAL. I've now completed twenty rows, with only six more to go for this week's clue!

Day 6 TIAS


It's hard to believe that we're already on Day 6 of Jane's TIAS! I'm still not fond of split rings that have a picot on the second side, but I am getting better with them. I guess the old saying is true, practice makes perfect!


I'm not much for Valentine's Day, but I do enjoy St. Patrick's Day. Yes, I am part Irish, but that's not the draw. I think it's the abundance of green, reminding us that spring is right around the corner.


I found some cut St. Patrick's Day charms at JoAnn Fabrics last week, so I think I'll make use of them and my green threads for a bit.


My sister-in-law asked if I would be willing to make a runner for her mantle. Mary Konior's Masquerade came to mind immediately! I'm practicing the pattern in size 20 Lizbeth #628, Salmon Med, because that was what was closest to me. 😊 However, the Linen Med is closer to what Karen would like.

Needless to say, I'm having fun!

Every girl needs a backup!


Since I rarely do one of anything at one time, including reading a book, I decided I needed a backup bookmark. This is the same pattern as the one I completed yesterday, but I think it looks completely different in a solid color (Lizbeth Salmon Med #628). The flowers motif isn't as obvious to me.

I decided to braid the tassel. What do you think?

Doodle, doodle, doodle


That's all I did today... doodle. Well, not all... I did do the laundry and the grocery shopping, but whenever I had a little free time... doodle, doodle, doodle!

The top piece isn't a doodle. It's Mary Konior's Leaf Braid from Tatting with Visual Patterns. I used size 20 Lizbeth for all of my tatting today. The green is #167, Jungle Greens. The pink on the left is #621, Dusty Rose Lt. The pink on the right is #628, Salmon Med. The doodads in the center are from Hobby Lobby.

Maybe I had a little too much fun today!
