Snow, snow, and snow...what is a girl to do?

Ah yes, zipper pulls using Yarnplayer's HDT fiber and free pattern by Grace Tan.  Yummy fiber - yummy color!

Yarnplayer's HDT fiber and free pattern from
#8163
The Spool Cotton Co. c.1936

My onion rings are kinda wobbly.  more practice needed.   

Tatting WIP - using Yarnplayer's HDT - which I find looks pretty good when I have to untat & retat - open closed rings to fix an error -- and the colors!!!!  beautiful colors.

I enjoy getting the Tatting Bella On Line newsletter via e-mail.   Georgia Seitz, Editor, shares fabulous articles.    Recently, she began sharing diagrams + patterns of tatting motifs, edges, from this 1936 publication.   While the black-n-white photos from the book are good - I find it so much easier to have a pattern to follow and diagram.    Link to the newsletter archives - HERE.


This is TIAS - day 11 (day 12 available today):




Thank you Jane for the funness!!!  Such an interesting motif.     Looked forward to all the pattern days and learned how to add buttons into my tatting.

Beautiful photographs of the birds !!!
Nice thread colours & tatting :-)
A craftsperson does need as many scissors as can be possible, right :-))

Snow and tatting do seem to go together well! You have a lovely collection of scissors... one for each project!
