It seems ages since I posted anything on my blog. I am recovering well from my op and the infection has gone hooray. The nurses have stopped coming in and I have the last couple of days been out in the car for a ride. I am still not allowed to do anything, at times I forget but I am trying to be a good patient.
Wendy from Uni and Tsuru link to her blog suggested a tat along, this is the first round of the pattern we both chose, the first round is all split rings and a chain from one petal to another link to pattern. I used Lizbeth no 40 American Apple Pie, which I think was sent to me a while ago by Wanda. if I am wrong, its been a while ago. I have enjoyed this pattern something different, I will post the next round when done.
--oo0oo--
Now while I am posting do you remember this. This is the tat along by Renulek (intatters) its been ages since I posted this mat but finally I have finished the snowflake round and the little bits beside the snowflakes. I stopped doing this mat after Vernons Dad died in January and then I did a bit and put it down and lost interest in it. Well while I can't do anything but sit I picked it up again and here is the finished snowflake round, now I am on the next round with three more to do. I can't see this being finished any time soon but at least its back on track. I am using Lizbeth No 20 Sea Island Citrus thread.
Thank you for all your kind wishes and messages they are really appreciated.
I hope you are keeping well, until we meet again take care.
Hugs
Margaret
So glad you are recovering! It's so frustrating to have complications after an operation. You get sick and tired of being 'sick and tired'! I know - I've had a LOT of surgeries.
ReplyDeleteLove the variation on the crown earrings you did a few posts back!
Thank you, I have to re photo them as I put the back side on the photos, Silly thing to do but Sharon saw the cock up, so when I feel better I will re photo them and re post them

Hi Margaret,
ReplyDeleteYour doily is beautiful. The thread colour is lovely. You must find a way to finish it soon.
I enjoyed round 1 too. With a link to the pattern, all are welcome to join us in the tat along too. Just glad that you are having fun.
So glad to hear that you're feeling better! Your tat along looks great. That Renulek doily is definitely on my to-do list.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you back and feeling a little better keep it up. Fabulous work take care Ginny x
ReplyDeleteI will watch your progress with Wendy's tat along with interest!

Hi Margaret,
DeleteThanks, but not just now as I am working on a number of things. Maybe next time!
Hi Margaret so glad to hear you areslowly getting there just been to lunch with a friend h
ReplyDeletethat has been poorly after op DVT and is just getting out so we took out for her birthday. Loving the work and take it easy
That's a unique first round on the tat along, and the Renulek mat is beautiful! It will be worth finishing, but it certainly would take awhile! I couldn't believe it when Fox finished it! But you don't necessarily have to do the entire mat! I wouldn't have the patience! So glad you're on the mend. You may not have been posting, but you have been keeping in touch by commenting! Just continue to take it easy!
