Now I Remember

      OK. Now I remember. The scanner doesn't really show the shine on this thread. It is Lizbeth Gold Metallic. Since I have been making earrings lately I thought I would do a pattern from the IL Mio Chiaccheirino #2 magazine. I wanted something different so I decided to use gold metallic thread. Not too bad, I suppose, but I wish the "gold" showed up better in the photo. I didn't use beads because the thread glitters and I think beads would not be seen very well.     But now I remember. I remember why I rarely use metallic thread. Hard to handle, feels sti ..read more

Once Again

        I have to admit, Corina Meyfeldt knows what people like. A neighbor down the street saw another set and wanted some for his wife. He had done me a favor so I did not mind doing one for him. This is turquoise Lizbeth with gold lined glass beads. I really like the color.     The guy I am making the doily for saw these and now I have to make a set for his fiancee. Those are a different blue and I used a different center bead. I may post those later. I am almost done with them already.      I like to make them, but I don't wear t ..read more

I Have The Cure

     I have the cure. Do any of you suffer from high blood pressure,like I do? Well, now I have found a new medical device that will help with that. Even if your medications are now working as planned, just like mine, this new device can help.      My blood pressure can go over 200/100 if I don't take my medications. With the medications, I can get it down to 155/85 and my doctor has doubled my dosage recently. This new device lowers it dramatically. I just finished using it and took my blood pressure. 122/66 and my heart rate has increased too. (It is ..read more

      I am still slowly working on the 2020 Spring Napkin by Renulek. This will be given to a friend for his mother. Round 14 is done. Only 4 more rounds to go. The next round is really difficult (sarcasm here). It is make a ring, make a chain, make a ring, make a chain, all around. Hopefully it won't take as long ..read more

Everybody Into The Kitchen

       I needed a break from tatting so I decided to make these. I got a recipe from the Joy of Cooking cookbook, but I don't really care for it. The dough came out too dry and it did not make the stated quantity. It said 60, I got 38. I do not think I made them too big. About the same size as other recipes for 60. I really think this one should have said 40. They do taste good, though. Now go make some cookies ..read more

For A Friend

      Here is another pair of the Wave earrings, this time in brown and gold. My brother had shown the black ones to a friend who liked them. I don't know her, but he sent a photo of her to me. She has the prettiest brown hair. I immediately thought that this color combination would complement her hair. I sent this photo for his approval and his response was "She loves them". The earrings are already in the mail. (He lives about 400 miles away.)     I don't know why, but I like making these. I suppose it is instant gratification or something because it only ..read more

Another Pair.

      It has been a while, but I have revisited Corina Meyfeldt's "Wave Earrings". When she first designed them and put them up for sale, I purchased the pattern. Now she gives it away, but it was well worth the few dollars she asked for it. I think I have made around 50 Pairs and given them away. I'm not going to wear them. I just like making them and the pattern is so easy.       I was showing my brother how I do them, making the rings, sewing in ends and then packaging them. He was surprised I put them in ziplock baggies, one on each side of a car ..read more

Glossy Mags!

    I probably shouldn't have. But they are so nice! And the glossy paper makes everything look so good! I already had a few. The temptation got to be too much. I did it.      I had 5 of these already. The magazine is IL Mio Chiacchierino. It is Italian and is all tatting patterns. Mostly jewelry. Remember the earrings I did a couple weeks ago? They came from issue No. 1. I told myself I don't need more, I have enough patterns, but then, there are only 15  issues in the entire run. Since I do collect tatting books, patterns, magazines, etc. I had to hav ..read more

    Round 13 of Renulek's 2020 Spring Napkin is now finished. My hand is working a lot better now and I am getting my speed back. The next few rounds are simple and should go pretty quickly.     Pleasant surprise this morning. I have been checking her website for the 2024 Spring Napkin every day. The other day, I emailed her and asked when and if the 2024 would be out. She didn't email back, but this morning it is on her website, here: http://renulek.blogspot.com/. I have already been to Etsy and purchased the pattern. I know I could just follow along on the web ..read more

Some New Earrings
Tim Tats Too!

      I have not made earrings for a while so today I thought I would. Something different to do. I found  the pattern for these in an Italian magazine called IL Mio Chiacchierino, Issue #1. It asked for DMC #90, oranges and yellow, for spring or summer earrings. I had Lizbeth 188, Coral Splash. I think it looks about as good. Now to find someone who wants them. I think I will check with the girl who cut  my hair the other day ..read more
