Passing the Time Away

Well unfortunately I have to do my civic duty but I have been practicing and working on a new tatted piece. So far I am in love with the colors and excited that I was able to handle a split ring and split chain. I want to work with beads but right now I am going to stick with getting comfortable the techniques I have been learning. I started out using a needle to tat but lately all I have been using is my shuttle and I am really starting to like it. I will still use my needles from time to time but shuttle tatting is central.

When this piece is finished and blocked I hope to use it some where in my living room or dining room. I keep doing my happy dance in my head.
