dragonfly continuation - nuntium duocentesimum quadrigesimum quintum

I've made two more sets of dragonflies.

Now there a 7 pairs of butterfly earrings.  Several of the threads she chose are variegated so I'm trying to find a pattern that's "long" enough without being too big (even in size 80).  Suggestions?

In October, my darling husband took me to a bed and breakfast in a lovely little town called New Ulm.  We've been there before but the proprietors are great, the rooms nice and the town just charming.  Mostly, we are too far away to do things around the house so it's a vacation.  Very nice and relaxing.  While there, we poked around a bit in the downtown and found a little shop called Nadelknunst.  It looked like a yarn store so we went in (my DH is very patient with this stuff).  The owner asked what I was interested in and I said tatting.  She lit up, told me that they have a lot of tatter in New Ulm, that they offer classes (sure enough, there it was even on the sign) and that the tatting supplies were around the corner.  When I showed interest, she told me anything I wanted would be 50% off!
Here's what I got:

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all that ecru but it was dusty and I couldn't just bear to leave it there.  My husband never lets me near pet stores, animal shelters or anywhere else with animals with big eyes, guess why!  I felt sorry for thread...

I feel a Fox-colored doily coming on.

Show coming - nuntium duocentesimum vicesimum septimum

Tomorrow is a craft show.  As usual, I've spent the last few days trying to make the next best thing.  My sister suggested earrings and said dragonflies are "hot".  She sent me a pattern from Pinterest so here's the result.

She's going to add the findings and then we'll see.

And I found a way to weave in the ends with this teeny-tiny thread.  I've been using beading needles and it works but I can't get the picture to my computer.  Maybe tomorrow.
