Fiber Arts and Food

The danger of visiting the craft store, twice. They had beads on sale, and buttons (2-hole, so I didn't get many of those). I've been working on Beaded Path by Marilee Rockley from her book Tatting with Beads Jewelry. Alas, I put the beads I'm using somewhere safe and now I can't find them.

the thread is crochet cotton, I think the color is called Pinstripe. It's a nice ombre black/grey. I'm using black beads (see sale I mentioned).

C made this for a friend's birthday grill party. DR has a house too small for everyone he wants to invite, so he rents a picnic shelter and we grill and talk. This is the dessert C made. He said it took 15 minutes; marscapone and creme fresh, berries, more marscapone and creme fresh, with a touch of honey, then muddle and heat berries with honey and lime to pour on top. I'm really hoping he's going to make it again.

Buttercups for spring

C asked me to mend his hoodie. It's his emergency 'need to grab something' jacket he keeps in the car. The sleeve seams and cuffs had holes to I did a quick mend with crochet cotton. Yes, it's very visible but he doesn't care and it was quick.

I finally finished the 2nd Fandango and sewed both of them on my scarf to cover the darning.

I have now done 2 weaving something on my mini weaing frame.

Has it been just a week?

My woven patch is pretty, but to heavy for the scarf. I feared that might be the case. Guess I'll be tatting a motif to cover the darned area.

I am into the 2nd week of my 2024 TTAL. I should have done something to mark February 29th, but I forgot.

Mom got Covid and went to the hospital. Thanks to her vaccinations it was a mild case, no ventilator.

I made another Sand Dollar pendant, this time in Olympus metallic silver.

And isn't this bag cute? Gretchen made them for the Tri-Tatters.
