Karina

Karina's necklace is finished! This one is in 12 wt Sulky Blendables and a 12 mm Swarovski rivoli. I really am enjoying tatting these beautiful necklaces!

Playing with HWT

When I posted about my latest Spinning Wheel the other day, Jane suggested I try one in HWT... great idea! However, I didn't want to commit to that large a piece without doing a trial first. So... Stumpy to the rescue! I used three strands of Sulky Blendables, so smooth and easy to tat.

It's really very pretty in person, but it just doesn't show up well under the Ott Lite...

or in daylight. Oh, well... the test run was a success, and I think I will try a Spinning Wheel in HWT. Thanks for the idea, Jane!

Hmmm... can you tell it's a little bit humid outside? Just look at the way that Stumpy is curling. Looks like a trip to the blocking board is in order!

The Original Sewing and Quilting Expo

Daughter Alison and I attended The Original Sewing and Quilting Expo today, trying to get some inspiration. It worked!

First, we found the Sulky display, and I chose 12 beautiful new threads! This time I purchased 12 wt. The Sulky Blendables I've been working with is 30 wt. I'm really looking forward to tatting with these gorgeous threads!

A couple of aisles over we found a display of King Tut threads. Of course I just had to have a few!

I think I'm going to be busy for quite a while! : )
