I've done a little tatting here and there since my last post, but not much. My heart hasn't been in it.
My nephew Andrew passed away last Thursday, April 24. He and his brother Erich were each three months older than my younger daughters, Joanne and Carol. My sister's boys and my girls were very close growing up. Our sorrow is as deep as our love for Andrew. Rest in peace, dear nephew.
I just finished round 15 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. Round 16 will join the feathery looking elements so that they stay in place nicely. I used size 20 Lizbeth #187 Green Ice for this round.
I'm eager to get started on round 16, but we've had a death in the family, so I'm not sure how much time I'll have for tatting over the course of the next week.
I tatted two pattern repeats today, which means I only have two left to finish round 15 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. I have my colors chosen for the last three rounds. Dave asked me how long it will take to finish. I really don't know, but I'm hoping to finish before school gets out. I think I can do it!
I was able to tat another two pattern repeats on Renulek's Spring Doily 2025, which means I am halfway through the round. I feel like I'm on a roll!
There was no school today, so I was able to get a good start on round 15 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025. I'm back to using size 20 Lizbeth #187 Green Ice. I'm eager to finish this round, so that I can move on to round 16. The end is in sight!
Last night I finished round 14 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025 just before heading off to bed. I love the way this is coming together!
Round 14 is in size 20 Lizbeth #712 Kelly Green Med. On to round 15!
Dave and I spent the morning shopping for home improvement supplies, so I really didn't think I'd get much tatting done yesterday. I'm happy to say that I am halfway done with round 14 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025!
Today, I need to clean and shop to get ready for Easter company. There will only be seven of us, but I have pretty much neglected the housework lately so that I could work on the doily. I have my day planned out, and I think I can accomplish everything this morning. After that, I should have several hours for tatting!
