The color wheel...in thread

Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a splendid weekend! The weather here is back to being sunny and warm, but the trees are still turning and boy it's just gorgeous outside! I have to tell you though, it's been really fun to have a school assignments that involves tatting! My floral design project has to be about color so 'TA-DA!" What do you think???

TATTED COLOR WHEEL!

This will be part of my display! I'm also working on doilies and motifs that follow color certain color schemes we are studying. This has been such a fun project! I just finished a landscape design for another class and am really proud of it...I'll get my grade on Monday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed : )

Other then school projects and Plant Identification competitions life is as normal around here. God is good, isn't He? Oh how He loves us and Blesses us! Be sure to stop by my mom's blog to see what our family is up too! (www.spendthethymefarm.blogspot.com)
Have a safe weekend everyone and I'll be in touch : )

Gotta Love 'Lizbeth!

Well...it's not quite tatting, but it IS Lizbeth thread! Last week I 'googled' (yes, that is a verb in our house) how to make friendship bracelets. I got something like 20+ pages of tutorials, patterns, books and the like. I ended up on YouTube watching a great 'how-to' video for the easy pattern pictured on the right. It is really fun! I've done macrame in the past, and the knots are actually the same, just in various orders to create different patterns. I made my first one in orange, pink and brown in honor of a Bible Study I just finished. A little daily reminder to hold onto my values and beliefs as I tread the waters of a secular college and such.  So the picture is my second one! I scanned this picture as well, so the knotted part is only about an inch long. It's fun to sometimes take a little break from tatting and experiment with a new craft!
Hope you are having a marvelous Monday! Toodles from Illinois,
Allison
