nuntium secundum et quadragesimum (42nd post ) digitabula

Been a while, huh?  Well, that's the school year for me.  I love it. I love school.  But there's not much time for tatting.

Our weather is changing, the leaves are absolutely gorgeous.  The way we get those leaves is by cool nights and glorious days, the huge temperature change is the key to beauty in the leaves.  But it makes for cold hands in the morning so we go for those little $1 gloves from JoAnn's.  But they're so dull.  So I thought I'd jazz them up a bit with some tatting.  My daughter chose the colors and the pattern is from Lyn Morton's Tatting Patterns.  I did the colors wrong but she likes it.
motif #17
It didn't go quickly, I did one repeat short on the second glove so had to cut it off and restart. sigh.




And I've decided that sewing with invisible/clear thread is IMPOSSIBLE!


On the girl's hands. 

Maybe now I'll go back to the Quatrain.  Or grading. Or sleeping?

Latin for today:  digitabula mea sunt pulcherrima = My gloves are very beautiful!
