Time and time again


I wonder how all ye folks have the time to do all your tatting! Even though this pattern was easy to follow I barely find the time and more importantly concentration to do it! Maby it is because I work at home with my phycically challanged husband (Goran got Guillian Barrés Syndrom in 2002 and was paralyzed from the ears and down, since then he has recovered toons but still needs the help of others) and when I don't work we have other assistants working 24-7. In other words, I am almost never alone when hubby doesn't need me and sometimes when he does I take care of our son. Who in himself is a challagen for mom being a very active and intelligent. I just felt I had to explain why this has taken such a long time to finish.
Well, Hubby's assistants was very happy for the gift and said she would use them at the upcoming Christening of Chalise so that was extremelly nice and grattyfing for me.
Thanks for hearing me out and thank you in advance for the comments you choose to leave! O:)

Chalise is her name


She was born on September 4th and is the daughter of one of my husbands assistants. She weighed 3.156 kilos and is the cutest thing you ever seen.

It was a girl!



And I finished the booties just an hour before they came to visit us.

No TV this time!



My work place. The time has come for me to add the medalion and there will be no tv watching with one eye! Now I just have to find some peace and quiet to do it.... he he! LoL

So far it has been a lot of fun to make and I am looking forward to see it finished.

As you can see I have a lot of help from Pamelas photos as well as Rebecca Jones book.

Futher progress

My sofa is as ever the background for my tatting. The weather here is extremly rainy and cloudy so no fun photos to add and even this photo had to be taken with a flash in spite of it being in the middle of the day.

I'm so happy!

I'm making baby booties for a dear friend of mine who's baby is due in September. And since I was watching tv with one eye... I made a mistake and closed a ring way to soon. But this time I had not pulled it closed too tight so for the first time ever I managed to open my ring!!! I usually grow so frustrated that I pull out my scissors and cut the mistake out of my project



Not this time, I made it work! Can't help but feeling so proud of myself! I'm also very indebted to Pamela at "tat a kool challenge" for her photos of her progress of her booties! It made it soo much easier to see how it is done!



I thought it would be a much bigger challenge! I may have to regret writing that but I don't mind. I promise to post a photo soon.
