In Cherokee North Carolina.

Playing by the river, making cane fishing poles for play. and and searching for "skipping stones" you know the important things in life :)

I visited one of my Daughters house, and realized I made a tatted bread cover a few years ago, but she found a different use.
I was trying to practice this two different sized picots that are often showed in Jan Stawasz tatting, and using made up simple edging and directly attaching to some muslin cloth, size 8 ecru thread

I had to show this beautiful dress made by a woman in the Philippines names Rainy she made this for me little over 50 years ago, this last week end it was worn again by a 3rd generation.

Two of my grandchildren.  On Sunday :) 

Love this book, tatted many items this time tried Tatted, wheel 24 from page 49 all it said was make 24 long picots and even though I rarely use picot gauges I did, I guessed, and lost, they were too long :(

Leaving a cup like shape that just needed a "wonder what to do", moment.

Maybe this?

Along the small river that we visited in Cherokee, North Carolina USA  grows River Cane. which looks a lot like Bamboo :)
Yes my daughter and another grand son.

My husband  shows how tall this cane is.
Have a great week and remember to take breaks of recreation for your recreation of the soul.
