I ordered a butterfly shuttle

 On Apr. 1, 2022 I ordered a butterfly shuttle from Etsy.
it says it would be delivered by Apr. 25(yesterday).  They 
got a shipping label around the 16th, yet it hasn't been 
received by the post office yet, and they decided to take 
a break(according to Etsy), so I can't contact them and 
just have to sit and wait and see if I get my shuttle.
So frustrated!!

Having trouble commenting on blogs again.

 I tried to comment on Lace-Lovin' Librarian's blog and West Pine Creations blog and it acts as though I am not logged in, but I am, and it keeps telling me to use my Google to sign in.  

So, just so you all know I am trying and when it works again you will see my comments.  I even tried a different browser and it still didn't work.

My necklace is finally done!

 This single shuttle pattern sure made me work! 
I love the design and am going to try and tat it 
again, but it's finally finished just for me!!  :)
It's Laurel Wreath by TheKimAndI on Etsy, link 
here:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/249463110/tatting-lace-necklace-pdf-pattern-laurel?ref=yr_purchases

Tatted in size 40(original pattern says 20-
I edited the stitch count) HDT 
Gold Crimson from Yarnplayer with transparent 
gold seed beads.



Colors are truer in the above pictures, but I wanted to show
the shirt that I tatted it to go with.

And, it's nearing the end of April and as we know here, 
that just because people and the calendar say it's spring 
doesn't mean it's true in Michigan!!!  ;)
It's snowing today and has been all morning.


I hope you all had a blessed Easter!!!
Have a wonderful week and hopefully lots of 
tatting!!! :)

A New Pattern to try

 I have been wanting this pattern for awhile 
and I finally purchased it.  I thought it would 
be simple---that is what I get for thinking!!!
It has challenged me and there is plenty of 
room for improvement, but I am loving the 
design I fell in love with from it's pictures!!  
It is Laurel Wreath from The Kim and I on 
Etsy:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/249463110/tatting-lace-necklace-pdf-pattern-laurel?click_key=da2f2d13c44a39302c76a8c5a3609ef01abc143a%3A249463110&click_sum=77171473&ref=shop_home_recs_9
I am not very far, but maybe a quarter or a 3rd 
of the way done.  ;)  It's slow, but I am getting it.
The pattern calls for size 20 thread, but I am using 
size 40 HDT Gold Crimson from Yarnplayer.  I 
tatted a ring in size 20 and then one in size 40 to 
compare and have adjusted the stitch count to match 
the size 20 ring.  I love how it's turning out!!!  :)

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)
