Winging It!

-

Thank you to everyone who commented on my last blog post, you sure did cheer me up I was almost in tears having to destroy all that work.











'Winging It' is what I am doing now with regard to tatting this doily.  As you can see it had the 'big chop' and now I am continuing using a different design which is being made up as I go along. Hence there is no preparation, just chancing it, so far so good, but have no idea what the next row is going to be.   Wish me luck

    Somehow, I missed your previous post. It sure is pretty. Maybe you were just meant to do your own thing. :-)

    It looks great! It's very difficult to cut off a huge chunk of tatting, but we all have to do it at one time or another. I'm sure your 'winging it' doily will be beautiful.

      Thanks Madtatter. That idea sounds a very daring but great idea! Actually I am finding this very stressful so not sure I would want to do it again, would far rather have a pattern to follow.

    Sometimes you have to. I had to. Yesterday. Didn't like it. But now it will be what you want. It will be fine. And I do like those colors!

Which One?

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles! So the result is these two button eggs, well I hope you recognise them as such!  I showed the first one to several people but did not say what it was supposed to be and they all said it was a pendant.  I was rather deflated at that, but how would they know what I was trying to design?  I then came up with the second button egg.  So which one should I run with?...

Just popped in to say 'Hello'

There are many reasons I have not kept up this blog, one being that I have to now recover the email that was originally used to set it up, so not exactly sure if any comments will be seen or recovered.  The other is that I keep up numerous facebook accounts (other groups) plus twitter and instagram so not much room in my life to blog! However, a comment from Maureen on my sister's blog has prompted me to post the dress we have each bought and how we have embellished it with a bit of tatting.
