Progess and stuff

 I need to fix a tatted bracelet and I finally found the correct thread to do so. That's my next project. I've been working on tatting a couple aliens (Jane Eborall's 2023 TIAS) for a friend who recently turned 51. I have one in bright green just done and next is one in grey. Need to hide ends.

 

I finished 4th round of the Round Robin doily, but I need to block it and hide the ends. So yes, this photo is a bit sloppy.

 

No progress on the wrist warmers. I can't find the instructions for finishing off a project (do I just pull the yarn through the last stitch?). 

I've down to 2 pairs of (mended) work slacks, so as I got to that point, I've been going to the thrift shop to find more. Until this past Saturday, I was out of luck. I found 3 pairs (wow)! Two of them even have full sets of pockets, although the 3rd pair has those fake front pockets. When I have time, I can amend that.

Our DnD 5e game progresses. At least 2 of the PCs think we're on a wild goose chase and think we got this assignment to get us out of the way while the matter is really being handled at home. 2 PCs had backstory elements we were able to use to get more information for the next leg of the trip. I'm still not sure we have a grasp of the combat, though. And especially the short rest/long rest thing.

We also had a Pathfinder game this past weekend. We finished another stage in the adventure, without dying, although it was close. Two of the PCs were out of any spells above cantrip level and the healer was down to about a third of her spells/channels.

Does anyone know what season it is?

Tuesday morning I scraped frost off my windshield (found my ice scraper, yay!). Today, I sat outside in my shirtsleeves, short shirtsleeves, at lunch. It's supposed to be rainy and near, but not below, freezing by Sunday. Apparently our weather has been mounted on a yoyo.

I'm up to Day 11 on Jane Eborall's TIAS. I had finished Day 10 and was about to start day 11 when I realized I needed to reload my shuttles. For grins and giggles, I'm using a new color starting day 11.

 

I am toying with making another c. 1919 (or so) housedress. And trimming it with tatted lace. I looked at a lingerie dress, but that's a lot of lawn and lace strips ($40+ for the fabric alone, cotton voile isn't very expensive all told, but still). 

I finally got my State Fair prize money. I can about afford supper at a mid-level burger place. Including getting a drink. 

I did my 3rd round of the round robin doily for the Online Tatting class founded by Georgia Seitz. We all start with the same 1st 2 rounds. Tami drew several cards from the Tat Your Own Adventure card deck and we are to use those elements for further rounds. Tami intends to do a communal doily that will become the backdrop for the class website, etc.
