Look! Look! I got the TIAS done! Yay!
This Burgundy thread (Lizbeth #672 size 20) was a little too dark – I couldn’t see what I was doing when I made a mistake. He did come out pretty cute – love the teeth and carrot!

One of my aunts ended up in the hospital Saturday, so instead of taking her real flowers I took her some fake ones Sunday (no worries about spilling the water or flowers drooping before she could enjoy them). It was a hurry-up job. The ‘vase’ is a spice jar with a piece of burlap ribbon and a piece of smaller, white ribbon wrapped around it and the tatted heart – which I tatted up on the way from our house to the hospital. I took the with me and attached the heart to the ribbon while we were in the parking garage. This was the best of the pictures I took of it before we left.
My aunt liked it.

This has been my take-along tatting project this last week. I needed something without beads or too complicated (like the TIAS) and one that I wouldn’t worry about messing up (like the Round Robin doily I’m working on). I made the rings of the arms a bit bigger than I made the bookmark I gave my brother-in-law; I think this looks better. My plan was to frame it and give it to my mother for Valentine’s day but I haven’t gotten that done yet. I’ll just give it to her when I get all the finishing touches done.
Now on to other things: the Round Robin doily I still have; a wedding gift for next month; the pincushions I want to make… It feels good to be getting over the funk I’ve been in.“With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.”
