Twin Rainbow Taffy Doilies Done --- This could be the last post for awhile

Please forgive the bad quality photo, but I had to 
get this done early because we have a granddaughter 
invasion this afternoon and a house that needs a 
lot of cleaning amidst the packing for moving.
Here are the twin doilies with all ends sewn in 
and they have been blocked.
They measure 20 inches across.
 Below is a picture of them in front of our loveseat.
Yep, they are large!!!  :) I will deliver them Sunday 
evening.
As for this being possibly the last post for awhile:
we have to be moved out by next weekend and 
still have no place to go.  We have been working 
on getting a manufactured home on land, but their 
process is taking forever!!!!  There is a possibility 
closing next week, but we still need somewhere to 
go, and a place for all our stuff.  I have been packing 
for what seems like forever, and am not anywhere 
near done(you sure do accumulate tons of stuff in 
33 years of marriage-and I have gotten rid of lots).
So....until the next post happy tatting and may you 
be blessed!!!!!!!!  :)

Another Twin Cathedral Doilies update

Here they are again.  Ready for row 30 of 33.
Again, they are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth 
Rainbow Taffy.
They are sitting on a table which is 4ft. by 2ft.
so...they are almost 2ft. wide.
 I wanted a way to set short goals for myself to help 
complete them quicker.  I think I found the right thing 
to help.  These are Stitchpins (Susan Bates brand)-I 
found them at Hobby Lobby and thought they would 
help me.  I didn't know how many chains around the 
rows until I placed these pins every 10 and there are 
96 chains to tat!!!!  But, I try to tat 10 at a time and 
it seems to help me get through it much quicker than
just tatting along.
 Also, I had mentioned that our daughter is part of 
a Pirate Crew and wants to bring things to sell when 
they have a vending event, so to add something to 
tat for change of pace and color I tatted this cuff 
bracelet.  I just made up the design hoping some 
pirate lady will like it for an addition to her costume.
And, I have another in mind.
Hope you have a wonderful day and achieve some 
tatting too!!! :)
