I've no new tatting to post as my current migraine has been with me for almost two weeks. We've become quite attached. I can't sit here but a minute, but wanted to share these pictures with you. I have had the large orchid for 3 or 4 years now. Can't remember which. The little one I split off the big one a year ago. This is her first time to bloom. I hope you enjoy looking at them and they brighten your day. They sure brighten mine.
Is that a cat curled up in the window by the orchids? - the orchids are such a wonderful colour, thank you for sharing them. I suffer from migraines too, so I send you lots of sympathy. The dr always used to tell me that I would "grow out of them" when I became older - now he's saying "perhaps when you're REALLY old...." lol.
I hope that nasty migraine leaves you alone for good! I came back over because I wanted to let you know that I'm having a giveaway! Be sure to come on over and join in!
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on the orchids and the cat! Maybe that is why the orchids thrive and bloom so - she is guarding them! Much love to all of you. Thank you for continuing to comment on my occasional blog post and please understand my lack of commenting. I have just got to get better.

That is the most beautiful orchid I've ever seen! It does look like a dancing lady... a flamenco dancer!
Oh, how I wish I could take that migraine away forever!
Very pretty but I'm looking forward to you getting back to tatting. Poor, poor you. If only you had no brain like me then you'd not get migraines.
Those orchids are gorgeous! WOW! I love those "dancing lady" ones! I hope your migraine gets better! ((Hugs)) for you!
Beautiful orchids. I hope that your migraine goes away soon, for your sake. However, I have missed seeing your colorful snowflakes.
Is that a cat curled up in the window by the orchids? - the orchids are such a wonderful colour, thank you for sharing them.
I suffer from migraines too, so I send you lots of sympathy. The dr always used to tell me that I would "grow out of them" when I became older - now he's saying "perhaps when you're REALLY old...." lol.
Golden Shower orchads were the favourite of my mom and grandmother. hope you're feeling better soon
Pretty orchids, so sorry you have had a migraine for so long, hope it clears up soo.
So pretty! Darn it...I wish that headache would go away once and for all!
They are GORGEOUS!! Nero Wolfe would be proud of you!
Hope you feel better SOON!
Your orchids are so pretty. So sorry about your migraine. I hope it goes away soon.
Hi Laura, I hope your headache is gone by now. Feel Better!!
The orchid is lovely. I didn't know an orchid could have so many blooms at once.
Thanks for Sharing!
The orchids are just beautiful. I love the cat also. Hope your migraine goes away soon. Madeline
Your orchids are beautiful! You must have a green thumb. . . my orchids always die within six months of coming near me.
I hope that nasty migraine leaves you alone for good! I came back over because I wanted to let you know that I'm having a giveaway! Be sure to come on over and join in!
I'm back again! This time to say thank you for entering my giveaway! Good luck to you!
