In case you were wondering, yes, I did fall off the face of the earth. Or maybe it just feels that way.
Despite all the real world fiascos I won't bore you with, I did get in a little Christmas tatting. For the girls at work, I made Jane's Flurry Snowflake set in bangle bracelets. I forgot to take pictures of them, oops. I admired the pattern from the start, but did not realize how really clever the constuction was until I made some of them.
For some other friends, I made the teapot above. It didn't start out as a Christmas pattern, but the Christmas colors adapted rather well, I think. There were several versions, but I forgot to take pictures of them too, except this one. Organization has not been my strong point lately, and I was in a big hurry to get them in the mail. Some should reach their destinations by Christmas, and others will arrive late, I am sure. The pattern is destined for an upcoming issue of Tatting Times.
I wish everyone peace of mind, hope for the future, comfort of friends and family.

ReplyDeleteMartha I also think that Jane's flurry is a cleverly constructed. But your teapot is fabulous, well have to get a copy of this Tatting Times sent over to the UK.
