Market....Party Time

      If you haven't come to the Bonners Ferry Farmers market yet, this it the one you can't miss.  The music is phenomenal!  Don't for get to check us out.  You can also find things for sale, on the right-hand column of my blog.  There is also a special link for Jan's wonderful cards (J.S. Designs).  We have been working hard to get her site, up and going.  

      The Bonners Ferry Farmers Market is today, from 8 am to 1 pm.  We will be at the City Parking Lot.  I will be demonstrating/teaching tatting and have all you need to tat, including tatting lesson packages.  I have prepared, tatting lessons and don't forget to check out Jan's latest cards.

Hummer

    I, finally, had the courage to work on the hummingbird watercolor.  I added metallic, gold paint to the pigments to give the bird an iridescent look.  This went better, than I thought it would.

Brooch

     I wanted something different.  This pansy became a brooch.

Doily

Doily

      Finished the doily in time for the fair.  It measures 12" across.  It's from Jan's, "Tatted Treasures," pg 63.  This has been on my bucket list, from the time I received the book.  Maybe, one day, I'll make the matching flower picture that goes with it.
