Too Little Time!

Wow I keep looking for my bag of extra time! I know I've put it somewhere but can't seem to find extra time! I've been super busy lately! As a friend of mine would say busier than a one armed paper hanger. Did you know that Christmas is only three months away! Yikes!

I've been trying to get my fair entries ready to enter for next week. Well my gloves I worked on last year are ready but I still have to block my doily. I don't think I have posted a picture of my tatted gloves on my blog before so here they are.



Not to toot my own horn but I'm proud of these as I did them from a pattern from an Italian magazine, Il Lavoro chiacchierino #9. I found some translations for Italian tatting terms and followed the picture and was able to do them. I almost didn't purchase this magazine but I'm glad I did the patterns are beautiful and luckily most are diagrammed. The gloves, however, were not but with the translated terms and being able to look at the picture it wasn't too hard to figure out. Although in some areas I used my best guess, it was, in my humble a opinion, a very worth while project.

The doily I did is from the same magazine but like I said I have to block it so I'll take a picture of that before I enter it. I'm excited about entering my tatting into the fair this year and can't wait to see how it does. I'll keep you posted.
