Hi!

Hello,

Long time no posting.

It's not that I'm out or anything,
just not getting enough time!

I've been busy at the Hospital and have got a little

tenosynovitis of the thumb joint of my left hand

(and I'm left handed)

But not that I'm not tatting!

I've got a lot of WIP's at present.

I'm continuing with the Iris TIAS.....

and this is as far as I've got.....

.
Then I have the Design-tat group which is keeping me glued to my computer,

playing around with the drawing programmes.

I'm still very raw and end up with ghastly looking designs

but I'm trying......

.

Well ,let me show off a pattern that I made ...

Just a simple motif using small five ring flowers.

Then I added a little difficulty as I wanted to make it in one go

So, I inserted split rings.

The worst part was the stitch count part,

but I did manage it somehow.

Here's the pattern in variegated purple thread

Doesn't the negative image look interesting? That's here just for fun!

I have made the pattern diagram and posted it on e-snips.

You can find the link under My Patterns on the side bar.

Do take a look and tell me how I've done.

I think it looks a little crowded but this is the best I could do,

Maybe I'll get better with time!

And

here's another motif I've made,
It started out as a doodle on my desk

and ended up into this

.

.

A simple ring and chain motif.

Let's make the two new motifs No. 23 &24

for 25 Motif Challenge.

After all they have come up from my own little grey matter!

;)

Happy easter!!!!
