Alrighty then! I'm still trying to figure out how to do the cool signatures thingie.
And it's not working! Help me TattingChic!!



OK, that just might do it. woohoo! I DID it!!

Hemp Jewelry

I'm learning how to make jewelry. Nothing grand mind you. I've starting out by learning to make a hemp choker using a square knot. The book I'm using is called "Making Beautiful Hemp and Bead Jewelry" by Mickey Baskett and this is the 1st project in the book. The hemp is a variegated tan color and I think it makes it look dirty so it'll probably be delegated to being a core thread for future projects. (This really makes the fingers sore! . . . and very time consuming also, well starting out for me anyway.)

HDT

The top left one is supposed to be mauve, blue, and white, then sky blue and below green, yellow and white silk HDT. These are after the wash and rinse.

Who would you be in 1400 AD?

LOL!! I just took the personality test I saw on Tatting Chic's page and I am a scoundrel!! I started off saying I liked to wear worn comfortable clothes and somehow ended up in the lap of luxury!! Don't I wish! LOL! Thank you Tatting Chic, this made my day!!
