Doily Update

I have made an unconventional move, at least for me, on round 3 of the doily. I'm not ready to show a picture, but I think you will be surprised. I know I am! It means slower tatting because of ends to hide. That's all of the hint you are going to get.

Also, I have finished round two on my Tat It And See, as I'm sure most of you have. It is so much fun wondering what I am tatting.

Hooray! I awoke this morning to my second sale on Etsy! And, it was highest priced item on there - the piano bench cover. Now I can buy more hand dyed tatting thread.

I'm off to check Marilee and Sherry's sites to spend my money.

Pictures tomorrow.

Sale in my Etsy Shop!

In anticipation of my first sale, I have lowered most of my prices in my shop. I have also lowered shipping on all but the piano bench cover as it is really heavy. I hope some of you will have another look! I will be putting in more tatting items soon.

My Etsy Shop

I opened an Etsy shop today. It might be temporary, might not be. We are trying to downsize and I might as well make some money in the process! I have so many things that I have crocheted over the years. Almost without exception, they have been stored in tissue paper for the duration.

What started this venture was a needlepoint piano bench cover that my mother just had to have. I worked for ever so long and then she never did anything with it! As there are very few things DH likes hanging on the walls, I have no use for it. We are "sans piano." It is a lovely piece worked in the basketweave stitch. I hope you will go to the shop and look at it.

I will probably put a few tatting pieces in there as well. I am so addicted to my tatting that I can't stop and I'm running out of places to put the finished products.

I don't know if any of my woodcarvings will end up there or not. They are too dear and take so long.

A knitted piece might pop up occasionally. I have made several baby blankets and some tiny little hats that I might not need. As a matter of fact, that would be an excuse to buy more baby thread! I love to knit with that Baby Clouds thread and size 11 needles. Fast work and nice results.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you a little bit about what I did today. Have a look!
