Re-do

It turns out that I made a major mistake in Alenalea's mystery doily. Luckily, my tatting friend Linda saw the mistake and sent me a message. The mistake... I tatted 11 blue rings instead of 12! Since we don't know what the rest of the doily looks like, it could cause major problems later on.

Rather that fix my mistake, I started over. Now I'm ready for next Wednesday's post!

Yes, I tatted another red, white, and blue Ice Drop!

I did some major reorganizing in the living room today, so I didn't have much time for tatting. Now that the space is reorganized, I need to get rid of those dust bunnies!

Having fun

It was a busy day around here today! We started off with a little gardening, but that didn't last long because of the heat and humidity. I know I'd never make it in the deep south!

Dave worked on our bathroom for a while. We're hoping the update will be finished by the end of the summer.

Since outside work was out of the picture, I had time to sit and tat!

I joined Alenalea Rako's mystery tat-along on Facebook. The first three rounds were presented yesterday. More will be posted each Wednesday until we are finished. I love mysteries!

I also worked on my sister-in-law's runner today. I actually spent more time untatting than tatting, because I made the same mistake at the beginning of the pattern repeat twice! It would have taken less time to snip and start over, but I stubbornly took out every little double stitch. It's about 1/4 finished, and if I would stick to my plan of tatting one motif a day, I'd have it done within a month. I guess I let myself get distracted by too many other things!

Today's Ice Drop is another red, white, and blue!
