More Mail Misery

This is as far as I can tat; I'm waiting for thread reinforcement! And you all know how very patient I am...

However, this took the edge off the my temporary tatting tribulations:

I had sent this very Tat-Pic (made by David Reed Smith) to a dear friend, who unbeknownst to me, never used it! I love them for I am always un-tatting and they work for me. She read of my NYC Lost Project escapade, and sent it back to me! Joy!

Also, she sent more if that fabulous silk thread and other goodies. Take a peek:

The thread is a new #80 Lizbeth colourway, rather like the thread colour of the last hankie border, but it has more pink in it. I ordered two balls, as it really called out to me.

Thanks to a tatting friend, I was able to have the perfect handkerchief for this pretty thread by Lea Rako.

Now, I am working on Renata's doily, wondering how large it will become and wondering also what design to begin for a new challenge... Ideas?

Canada Post, Take A Bow!

This time they got it right - my package arrived. 

The recipient is delighted and I can stop worrying! This brings the Jinxed Project to an end. Whatever happens to that piece has nothing now to do with me!

Moving on to Row 8 of the Renulek piece:

Nothing yet...

Beginning to move into panic mode...
I have heard nothing about the doily...

Enough said.

Both projects as of today:
