What's on the Agenda For Today

Well, I *did* finish the Amusement Doily before the weekend!! I haven't managed to get it blocked yet, but it's finished & the ends are woven in. So here it is. It's done in Altin Basak #30. I lost the label so I can't give you a color number... Sorry :)

sorry for the picture quality. I'm no photographer!

Now. What's next? I started Nancy Tracy's "Mom's Pink Doily" last night for my "big project". Got the first round done before bed time. I have to confess, I have a serious love for her web site, Be-stitched . When I first got started, I signed up for her news letter & to this day I still get it every month. Now there are 2 - one for a recipe, one for a tatting pattern. She's also very kind & will help you when you need it. All you have to do is shoot her an email. The link for that address is on her site.
I also said I was going to start working on Celtic Tatting when I finished what I was working on. So. I started the first pattern in the book I showed before. It's a simple snowflake that's all chains that is proving not so simple for me. This is my progress from last night. The thread is a sample of Lizbeth I got with an order from Handy Hands. I don't know the color number, & to be honest when I got it, I thought it was an odd combination. But now that I've tatted some up, I kind of like it.

This is what mine looked like, in order of number of tries. 1,2.3. Still far from perfect.

I'm also planning on making another hair pin for Brother's Girlfriend, Brit. It'll be red & brown, or brown & red, or one or the other. *sigh* Who knows?? 
So now you know where I'll be!
Enjoy your day.
