#19 Motif Challenge
Yes, this is me, stepping away from the tallies - at least, tearing myself reluctantly away. So obsessive. I just want to try it "one more time"! However, I did randomly pick a book and flipped to the first pattern I was drawn to and this is what happened. You can always count on Konior I say. Mary Konior's patterns make tatters look good!
Finished up the dangle - for her bureau; or wall or window - for The Boss, whose bedroom is all pink and yellow. I will present her with this surprise later today. She is still at an age where all presents get a gleeful, "Ohhhh," and that is great by me!
#20 Motif Challenge
This is very exciting. I saw somewhere that someone had a book of her blog, printed by Blog2Print that gives you a bunch of options on how to preserve your blog, as a record.
I was so intrigued and had to do it and I am delighted with the result, so I am passing on the link. No, I was not paid to say this! This is not inexpensive, but it is a great way to have hard copy of your work. I can flip through and find something much faster than I can by surfing around my blog online.

Now: Roll Tatting, This is as far as I have come.
There are YARDS of ruined thread to attest to it!
I have collected these for him and will send them off in the mail soon.
Anon,
I've been looking into the book thing off and on for quite awhile. I just have so much editing to do after 7 + years of blogging.
ReplyDeleteI only had one year! So much easier!

Thanks for the link for printing the blog stuff. Must find out more about it!
ReplyDeleteThe blog book is so cool. The both motifs are lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so well with your clunies.
I think that bureau dangle is so cute!
ReplyDeleteLove the tatting for the Boss - darling!!
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good idea for bloggers whose ideas and thoughts, and tutorials are worth saving. Which is to say, mine fits none of those categories. But it is really neat! Graphic designers love stuff like this! Well, at least Fox and I seem to like the same things.
ReplyDeleteLove the stuff for granddaughter. My granddaughter and I found a 'bib' style metal necklace she loved, and I looked at it and said, "Shoot, I could tat that and a ring to match!" So guess who wants a one of tatted bib necklace and bracelet? Me and my BIG mouth..hoisted on my own petard. (sigh)
I told her, check w ith me before Christmas, I'm up to my ears in rosary, and sheep right now…

That is a BEAUTIFUL Konior motif! You did a lovely job tatting it.
ReplyDeleteOf course The Boss's dangle is a rollicking good time - SO CUTE! I see SOMEONE's been into the beads again! But the beads and the button SO make this dangle extra special.
The blog book is so neat! I like that idea. It crosses my mind every now and then that someday my blog might go poof! I think that would make me pretty sad.
I think your rolls are looking VERY nice indeed!

ReplyDeletePS: if you wish I can translate weapon names on the stamps
Fox, I love your header changes!
ReplyDeleteI think I am starting to recognize some Mary Konior patterns - love that motif. The Boss' dangle is especially cute with that kitty button - she will definitely love it.
That blog printing idea is great! I would even be interested in just having the pdf files - editing my mess into a book would be a nightmare :) Thanks for sharing the link.
Blog2Blog; You can also have your blog made into a PDF that you can save... Very inexpensive archive!
