Still no zipline pictures

 I still haven't gotten pictures from my zipline experience. I think I'll need to request them.

Rain spattered car window looking at the sky, there may be rainbow visible

I swear, there was a rainbow. But there was also lots of rain.


Ombre red triangle of tatted lace sewn to triangle of fabric. Fabric is tan with blue checks and red hearts.
I've tatted more triangles, but I need to find matching fabric. Or at least coordinating.
Mullein plant going to seed. Growing in area growing wild.
My plant id app says this is mullein.

There's a few flowers left at the bottom.


We finally got some rain, but not enough to get us completely out of drought.

Still staying at home

Heavy storm hit this afternoon and an online friend asked for a video. But they were too large to upload to the site in question, so I'm putting them at the bottom of this post. Take your pick.

I made fingerless mitts and a headband/earwarmer to match my cape. The headband isn't done; I haven't affixed the braid.


The mitts don't exactly match; the downside of long run variegated/ombre yarn.

I also made these mitts (too small for the original recipient, but a friend has a teen who wants them).
Played around with this edging. I think I might like it better with dark green instead of the pale green/tan.

The 1st cotton yarn trivet/hot pad is my attempt at a 10-stitch blanket; it works great as a trivet
 This is deliberately a trivet/hot pad. The yarn I plied from 2 strands of cotton worsted; one yarn ombre white and blue, the other solid blue. I ran out, so I plied some more, using navy with an ombre navy/white.


I made some masks. These are the same mask; machine sewn. Below are the masks I hand sewed, including a bit of metallic thread lace I added to one.



 Oh, I finished the feather and fan scarf. I ran out of black (as I mentioned), so I ended with red.

I finished the tatting on this bracelet, now to block it, trim the thread ends, and add fasteners.
