Lazy wet days of summer

I've been tatting the Crown motif earrings a bunch.


This is part of a pair I made for a work friend. Note that I tat with whatever I can find. Earrings don't take much thread, just a bit - and these need two shuttles. So I'm using a large paperclip as a second shuttle.


Here's the finished pair. My friend was very pleased.


I was driving home a few weeks ago and spied the Google Street View car driving past Centennial Park in Hotlanta. The car has a big round camera on top (see read arrow) that is constantly taking pictures at all angles. I guess I'll be visible on Street View sometime in the near future! Did you know that these cars are generally driverless? Strange but true!

It's been VERY rainy and humid here this summer. So rainy that we've already had more rain in 2013 than we got in all of 2012! Neighbor's yards have mushrooms growing in them. Parents are stir-crazy with kids that can't run around outside. Moe and I are trying to get to the neighborhood pool for exercise as often as possible, but with this weather it's hard to manage. Some sun would be a good thing....


Cisco and Lily are enjoying lolling about. Happy tatting...

Inspiring Crowns

I saw Tina Frauberger's crown edging which Frivole tatted. And I was inspired.


So I tatted a bit.  Then I had another thought. What if I took one motif.....


And made earrings? These are tatted in Navy Lizbeth size 20. Nifty, n'est-ce pas? I'm going to make more...

Even though Larry is away in Florida, he still sends me funny tableau pictures of his super hero guys.


Here they are hanging out, having a brew, watching the tube.


And dancing together. A little weird, but funny.


Here is Lily hanging out next to me, in the mess on my desk. What a love she is. Purrrrr.
