nuntium centesimum quadrigesimum tertium (143rd post) nix/snow

What do you think about the fact that word in Latin for snow is nix and that's the name for one of the get-rid-of-lice shampoos?

Makes me giggle.

Okay, Kristen, here's number 2!

BORING snowflake, definitely NOT my favorite, also from Festive Tatting? Lizbeth size 20
motif #22
What does say about me that I think the outer rings should have an odd number of picots so that I can put my wonderful-got-them-at-Michaels-on-clearance-last-year hooks in a picot instead of the ring itself?

Today was the 4th day with new 6th graders- they have to take one trimester of Latin in 6th grade. They are so fun!  I love middle schoolers, their enthusiasm is so contagious.  They told me they were sad that there's no Latin tomorrow (we have a rotating schedule so every fourth day there's no class).  Imagine, they're sad there's no class.  Tee hee.

  1. Nice snowflake, pretty little pattern.
    If I ever had a day off school I would have been over the moon, sorry to say I hated school.

    1. Oh, it's not a day off school, we just have rotating classes so every fourth day they go to a different class, they're still in the building and I'm teaching a different class too.

  2. A compliment to the teacher! I think the snowflake is a bit leggy.

    1. Exactly!!! Too leggy. I wonder if I made it with shorter chains?

  3. well I like the flake and the hook :) shortening the chains would give it a star like look and that would make another cut one!

  5. I prefer an odd number, it gives you a top point.
    That is an odd school schedule.

  6. The snowflake looks nice but those long legs... The six picots give it a nice rounded look but I would probably change it to 5 or 7 to give each a pointy look.
    My kids had block schedules back in high school, I never could figure out what class they were in when.

  7. I like this little snowflake, but I would add an extra picot for the hanger. It's getting to be time to tat snowflakes again!
