Twinkle, twinkle, another star

This Two-Color Star is very slightly different... I forgot to change picot sizes!

Side-by-side, there's not a great deal of difference in size.

So, the girls' birthday presents are complete. This set is for Ella.

This set is for Lily. They're already tucked into princess birthday cards, ready to be mailed.

Now for my choices... finish my Spinning Wheel glass mat; finish Joanne's doily; work on one of my hanky edgings; finish my Yes-U-Can doily; finish my Clover doily; work on my Doodad Double Dare. I think I have too many choices!

Two-Color Star

Well, that's the name of the pattern. As you can see, my star is not in two colors!

Lily and Ella asked for stars as part of their birthday presents, and this one was great fun to tat! It's from Oh My Stars! by Kaye B. Judt.

I met Kaye at the Lafayette Lacers Lace Day the year this book came out, 2006. My how time flies! I feel very lucky to have an autographed copy!

I wonder if I could successfully adapt this pattern to have a doodad in the middle?

Speaking of doodads... I mailed off quite a few today, and I'll be mailing some more off tomorrow. There's some good news, and possibly some bad news. The good news is that I posted 25 envelopes today. The bad news... after all the postage was affixed, the mail lady told me that marking fragile on the envelope really wouldn't do anything. Everything goes through a machine, fragile or not. For those who receive domed doodads, I did put a little bubble wrap around the doodads. However, the mail lady said they could be crushed, and if I really wanted to protect them I should buy padded envelopes at $1.29 each. The doodads worked out to cost about 15 cents each. I just couldn't justify spending $1.29 per envelope. So, if your domed doodad arrives crushed, please email me and I will send you flat doodads.

Sheesh! Why does having a little fun have to be so complicated! ;-)
