Again!

Well, I've managed to tat a border that will necessitate having at least one side in another thread.

Though I picked a very simple Mary Konior border, to try to avoid running out of thread, it seems I underestimated what this edging requires.

I am NOT going to order more, as thread from Australia and the post office do not play well together.

The good news is that the thread for the Land of Laces piece has finally, after three months, arrived! Now I shall have to summon the interest needed to get back to that pattern - after the edging, maybe.

The Post, The Thread and the Boredom

Tatting on. Waiting. Trying to decide on a bigger project, but do not want to start anything till the Land of Laces piece is complete. After all, I have mainly been a serial monogamous tatter.

Really? Five Years?

Remembering my Misha with love...

My beautiful boy.

For Now, Fruits!

Yes, fruits it is: oranges and lemons, courtesy of Mary Konior.

As I wait for thread to arrive, I  am using the last of my HDT - #70 - a gift from Lea, sent along with my last order months ago.

Not wanting to run short, always a consideration of mine, I opted for a simple pattern that I figure will go well with the variegated colours and will last till the end of the border. 

I think the colours play well with this hanky's embroidery, even though they are not, by any means, a match.

The pattern is relaxing and easy! A treat. Love MK patterns.
