Microdragon

The only thing I have to show for the entire weekend is this one tiny little microdragon. I decided I need to practice SSSR's before I forget how to make them so here is another one. The microdragons are going to my great nephew to add to his scrapbook. He now will have three of them, two are microdragons. I do like to make these they are fun to do.
Tomorrow, it is back to work. Boy, I am not sure this is a good idea. Driving 70 miles is just such a pain and will it really be worth it?? Yes, I can get a lot of tatting thread and some more tatting books so.......
Sadie has spent a lot of time out doors this weekend she need to adjust to being out. I am thankful the weather has changed and she can be out. I don't trust her in the house while I am gone all day. And I don't think it fair to leave her tied up indoors. She has a wireless collar. It is great. She can roam about 90 feet away from the house in any direction and she doesn't have to be tied. So far it has keep her off the road and that was one of my big concerns. Traffic goes by here at about 70 miles an hour and it wouldn't take much to squash her on the road. I think my dad will check on her during the day too. He may even take her over for a visit. I know that Martha would love that.

Ringtrim, at last!!


After a few false starts, and rings that would close properly and using the wrong thread for the two color split rings I finally have a gorgeous Ringtrim of my own. I am so excited to have mastered the SSSR and made this little guy. He is just right. First he has to be added to the 25 Motif Challenge, as he sure was a challenge for me to make. Then to decide where he might fly off to. I wonder.......
After I finished Ringtrim I made two loaves of bread can you just smell my house. The warm yeast bread scent if wafting through, doesn't it make your mouth water. I may have to go cut a piece and cover it with butter and peanut butter. No jelly to drip onto my hands though. It is for my dad when he comes by with the hay bale. Do you think that is a fair trade? Two loaves of fresh bread for a bale of hay!
Miss Piggy and family are on the way. I haven't heard a word from them yet but assume everything is on track and going well. I am sure she would call if they ran into any problems. I hope her grand daughter is not to fussy. Bella is just a year old and it is a long drive to GGpa's house all the way from NE.

Dragon


I finished Martha Ess's Dragon for my nephew. I am sure my sister will like it for a scrapbook page. I do have some error's but I don't think that will matter to Sir Mason. He was knighted this summer at the Remaissance Faire. He and a friend took fencing lesson this fall but I don't think he was too excited about fencing. I think he would like broad swords better.


I only need to finished off my ends and I will have a bookmark completed for Christmas. I am making progress!
