Yarn and Thread

We are really in the 4th month of the year. Well that would be halfway through the 4th month. Easter seemed so far away and now it's only 7 days away.
Right now I'm working on a C2C baby blanket that I wanted to present by Easter. I'm working toward the last corner but I'm not sure I'll be finished and have it blocked in the time I have left. 😓

This weekend I started working on Smash again. I decided to go with the purple Hawthorne Tonal, Eugene, instead of the more red tonal that  I bought. The Eugene seems to match the purple specks better.

I've joined the Ice Drop Addicts FB group. I've completed a few and 2 pop cap Ice Drops. I would like to work to one-per-week. I haven't made it there yet. There are do many variations, I'd like to have one each for myself as well as enough done for Christmas gifts. Fingers crossed.

I've been looking for a way to wear/display my enamel pins. Thanks to All About Ami, I think I have the perfect solution. I'm using her instructions to make a liner for a see through bag. The first base I started  was a little to big, (I think my bag is smaller than hers.) so I decreased the number of stitches on my second try. Fingers crossed that it won't be too small.  

I'm using the recommended 24/7 Lion Brand yarn, but I'm using Aqua instead of the Ecru.

Thanks for your visit.

Some 2018 tatting.

Would you believe I have some tatting to report? I know, I know but it's a reality so here goes......

The year is almost over. I am happy that I finally picked up my shuttles again. I was able to complete 12 motifs that I used for ornaments. The frames were from Michaels. I think they turned out very well. The best part was I got them in the mail in time to arrive at each location before Christmas.

This angel by Renulek  was tatted for a close friend and co-worker who retired this month. I'm still working on my presentation. The wings are not as stiff as I would like.  I used liquid starch, now I'm considering using some glue.

I finally tried tatting an Ice Drop. This is a basic design from a tutorial by Diane .
