A touch of sunshine

We had a tiny bit of sun today, not much, but enough to brighten my day!

Following my morning routine, I started off the day tatting an Ice Drop. I've given away or sold most of the ones I've made, and if I want to have them for Christmas, I really need to have a good supply on hand!

I spent quite a bit of time weaving today. This is the scarf I started several weeks ago. I really like the way it turned out. It's just under 100" long!

I also worked on my band weaving, but it really doesn't look any different, so I didn't see any point in posting another picture.

It was only natural to finish off the day with another Ice Drop. How did your day shape up?

Snowflakes and shuttles

A while back I posted that I had an idea of something I wanted to do. That idea is to post pictures of my shuttle collection, using the shuttles with snowflake patterns. I have no clue how long this will take me or how regular I will be with my posts, but I'm starting today!

I was chosen as a lucky test tatter for Frivole's 2015 snowflake. Isn't it pretty? I should have used the blocking template that comes with the pattern, but I was so excited to finish it, I didn't take the time. Luckily, I can re-block it! The blue shuttle is a Clover that I decorated a few years ago. I think this may be one that I used in a shuttle give-away, but I'm not sure. The reindeer is one of my La Cossette shuttles, which I am really enjoying using!

Early this morning I finished round three of the Heart Doily from Land of Laces. I'm finding the pattern very easy to follow!

Today my goal was to finish my pink scarf. I had fringed one end last week, but I just didn't feel like fringing until today. Since I was on a roll, I decided to finish the scarf that I had on the loom. Dave really likes the pink scarf, but the beige one is much softer!

Joanne sent me this picture of the twins today. Look how strong Karolina is! Joanne said that Jan can lift his head well also, he just wasn't cooperating for a picture! In this picture, Karolina looks just like her Auntie Carol at the same age... lucky girl!
