I’m a bit late to the party, but I made it! The day isn’t over yet. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I wanted a pair of green earrings for several events this week. I waited until the last minute to make any, so they couldn’t be too fancy, but I wanted something a bit more than thread. I’ve had these little keys for years, never knowing what to do with them. They looked good for these earrings. They did end up being a bit longer than what I usually wear, but I like them.
I am a member of the lady’s bible group at my church. I decided this year that I would gift each of the members a bit of tatting for their birthdays, in their birthday month. There were none in February, four in March. I was planning on making crosses for them but ran out of time. They were not disappointed with these heart paperclips, even if they weren’t crosses.
Of course, I forgot to take a picture before giving any away. I did remember before I gave them all away. Too bad it’s a bit out of focus.
The weather here is mostly warm, trees and flowers are starting to bloom. Now we are expecting a hard frost… My poor apple tree.

I love the earrings! I am just a beginner tatter and your blog has been a great inspiration. The Easter egg is adorable and I am going to try a heart bookmark, someday!
Thank you, Carlie! Welcome to the knotty world of tatting! Have fun!
You made me laugh, so glad you can still fit into your earrings, so can I, that makes two of us.
They are lovely earrings for the day, hope you had a lovely St Patricks day.
Lovely paperclips, I am sure they will find them useful.
Thanks, Margaret. I’m glad we can both still fit into our earrings! ☺
Yeah, that quote about fitting into earrings also made me laugh! Yes – I, too, can still fit into my earrings!
Yay!
