Yes, it has been several weeks since I posted – again! Just when I think I’m getting into a schedule, life happens and everything changes. Then I get out of the habit and I don’t get around to it. I’m sorry, I’ll try to do better!
I have been doing some tatting. I added a bit more to my purse.
I thought it needed a bit more than what I started with. This vertical strip I put in stiffener before sewing it onto the bag. Now I have something to compare with the method I used with the others. I’ve had several nice comments about my purse since I put it on. 😊 I think I have the stitch count figured out for the square, now on to writing it out.
On the way to making the square, I also made a round medallion.
It’s kind of a snowflake but it looks a bit off. I think it would look better if I’d made it with six or eight points instead of the seven that I did. To me, this looks a bit wonky, not just because it is blocked badly. I’ll probably go back and play with it another time.
We’ve had a temporary pastor for our church for the last several months. We said a fond farewell to him this last Sunday as our new pastor will be here this weekend. I added a cross bookmark to his card.
For some reason, I kept breaking the thread while making this. I think it came out okay in the end.
I have a whole list of items I want to tat but am finding myself not getting to them. I need to knuckle down and get started but my mind keeps going in random directions, not accomplishing much at all. Hopefully, I’ll soon become more focused.

I do like your medallion, I don’t think it’s wonky in fact I think it would make a nice snowflake, after all not all snowflakes are the same size so why not have a seven arm one instead of six, who is to say it’s wrong and must be six.
Lovely bookmark, I am sure he will appreciate it at his next parish.
I know the feeling of a list of things to tat and not getting anywhere, I have just been tatting small items since the flu I can’t seem to get into larger items.
Thanks, Margaret. We’ll see where the snowflake goes.
