Test Tatting Lace

Tatting this summer has been very slow for tatting and me, and then Robin from Tatting by the Bay let me test a pattern I feel honored.
It was slow going with color changes 3 times,and forgot how to do Catherine Wheel.
After a trip to You tube where Marilee Rockley does a great job, it all comes back.
  

A fun bracelet that was on Facebook sent to me by Michelle (thank You very fun) and the designer's name escapes me right now, but had fun making tiny tassels with a bead and bit a glue.  

Then another experiment of soaking leaves for a week has started so I can see if I can tat around them
The mixture consists of one part Glycerin and 2 parts water 
so this should be interesting
Have a Great Sunday
from down south :)

    Not sure about tatting around leaves, I’ll wait to see if it works
    Hope to get back to knitting now it’s cooling down

      Sometimes I think our weather mirrors each other when it comes to weather.
