Yes, I am lumbering along with the Burda pattern; nearly there.
In the meantime, here are today's lilacs, snitched from a neighbour's tree while on my run this a.m. Shhhhh. They sit atop the pattern of Liyarra's I tatted last year.
See! I put it on my table so I could see it under the flowers. Maybe I'm learning? Maybe.
Gian was not overly excited about the lilacs. Good - he won't eat them. ; )

He does love the welcome sun.
Love the fragrance I would snitch them too! :) Now that doily is not so lonely!
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs are gorgeous! Gorgeous colours :). Love the tatted doily too :).
ReplyDeleteWhat? Is this twice in a month that your tatting has actually been displayed as it ought to be? That's great! After all the work you put into it, it really should be on display and not shoved in a drawer.
ReplyDeleteSquijum has never met a flower he wouldn't eat, so sadly, I can't bring real ones into the house. I find it very odd that obligate carnivores like to eat flowers, but good on you, Gian for refraining.
I know! Twice. Old dogs, noew tricks sort of thing...
DeleteMisha used to eat everything including thread. I had to be really careful. Gian is not interested in any of it. He just insists on interactive play. Siamese cats - really smart! More like a dog in some activities.

Hey, Squijuum - you figured out what bugs her! Keep up the good work, buddy!
Your Pal,
Gian
I love lilacs and the go so well with that beautiful doily!! :)
ReplyDeleteGian, always so handsome! It is gorgeous - the lilacs with the doily. I wish I could enjoys its scent.
ReplyDeleteLilacs are one of my favorite flowers. Love the fragrance. The doily is lovely on the table, displayed proudly. And Gian - oh, what a totally gorgeous cat he is.

DeleteYou have lilacs blooming in Toronto? I'm right over the border and I haven't seen any yet. :(
ReplyDeleteYour combination is beautiful. Will you be going to Tat Days in Sept.?
Not sure Denise! Perhaps we shall meet? : )
DeleteOh, I bet they smell wonderful! And your tatting looks beautiful! Ours are almost out.......
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to find your blog again! I was quite upset when the link no longer worked! The lilac is beautiful - Gian has wonderful taste in flowers. I can't wait for my lilac to start blooming.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tatters.

DeleteWas 28C yesterday- and will be ten degrees lower tomorrow. Strange Spring indeed. Lily-of the -Valley just now emerging. Usually gone by June..
