The house is back to normal this morning as all our quests, also
known as my brothers and sister-in-law have gone home. They were in town
for my grandmother's burial yesterday which I did not attend. I'm sure
that raises a few questions, but let's just say I'm fine and it's a
long, boring story about destroyed and nonexistent relationships that's
probably familiar to a lot of people. I did however love having my
family back in town even though it destroyed my routine for a few days.
I
did get some tatting in yesterday though. I made some changes to the
motif doodle I did last week. I added some twisted picots both inside
the design and for joining it to another. I managed to get three put
together in a 'V' shape. It looks like it has the potential to be an
interesting necklace, or bracelet, or any number of things. I love the
way that the picots give it more internal complexity.
I
even think that I might use the center part as a stand alone piece.
With those twisted picots, I think it has just enough character to be a
small pendant or earring. I might even go crazy and add some beads or
dangles to it and see what that looks like.
I also have
yet another day of cleaning and laundry ahead of me. I always feel weird
doing things like laundry with guests in the house so it's piled up on
me. Hopefully I can balance the creative with the utilitarian and have a
nice productive day. If nothing else, at least we'll have our routine
back.

I like the look of this one and your tatting always looks good It is say you have to do any thing else but tat I hate that! But I guess it gives you time to think of what you will do to this piece :)
