Tomorrow is the big day! Our neighborhood flea market starts at 8:00. It promises to be about 92 tomorrow so if you never hear from me again, it's because I've melted. But I'm thrilled to be hanging out with my darling girl all day and to be showing tatting to whoever shows up. My wonderful husband is going to be our "pit crew", taking care of everything for us. Aren't we spoiled?
I came up with this and am thrilled with it.

I made quite a few of
Jeanne's roses last year and tried this, thanks to seeing
Julie R's lovely pins. Thanks for the idea, Julie!
 |
| The model is my husband! |
And even though this isn't my own idea (I saw them on
Artlotus Handmade), I made up the very simple pattern myself.

| motif #2 |
 |
| Not my husband! |
This two-toned rose might be my favorite.

Okay, time for bed - it's an early start tomorrow!
Latin for today = citius elephantum sub ala celes = You'd more quickly hide an elephant under your arm (akin to "When pigs fly..."). This is not my own but I found it on this wonderful blog. It's from Erasmus.
Still love your roses! Essprecially the last picture with the two tones.
ReplyDeleteWunderschöne Arbeiten! Ich wünsche viel Erfolg beim Flohmarkt.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! We're sitting at home because it's raining and raining and raining. Sigh.
DeleteWhat fun! I'll think of you while I sit inside with air conditioning and two fans running. It's 61 now, but we're supposed to get up to 90 today. I prefer a temperature range of 60 - 85... not too picky! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSitting inside at home! RAIN, RAIN, RAIN - and lightning.
Deleteoh goodness, hope the weather clears up so you can have your fun time.
ReplyDeletemaybe the storm will clear the air and the heat will go away for a while. (yeah... wishful thinking I know)
the roses really look nice.
and your bracelets are very pretty. very nice pattern you came up with.
How sweet for your husband to model your hairclip!! :o) How sad for it to be raining. Was the event cancelled or postponed?
ReplyDeleteI hope the sale went well and the rain did not spoil it.
ReplyDeleteYour tatting is lovely
Well, the rain stopped and we went about 9:30am. I only sold one ring (to my sweet sister) and a cross bookmark. I gave out several Twin Cities tatters' cards for people who are interested in learning but only a few even glanced at the rings. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteBut the girls sold quite a few earrings, so a success in the end! (And boy, did it get HOT!)
For the record, I would have bought a ring in a heartbeat! ;-) The hair-clips and ring are gorgeous! Those roses terrify me, but you've made them look so lovely that I might just have to try them ...someday. LOL. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe bracelets are adorable, too! I love their... I want to say simplicity, but that's not what I want to say, LOL. Their.. Their... lack of needless frill. :-) That works. LOL.
