Catching up on the temperature tat-along. January at bottom. Now working on June. Got a bit behind due to a couple family members being hospitalized, watching grandkids, doctor appointments and a lack of wanting to do anything. Now that things have again simmered down, I am feeling more energized to work on things again. May has been warm being 80-85 degrees F. June looks like it is following the same pattern.In the meantime, I have been using scrap threads to make butterflies. These will be donated to The Palmetto Tatters Guild at Tat Days in August.

Temp Tat-Along and Butterflies

Much of Nothing
It has been a quiet month and a half tatting/craft wise. Grandson tonsil surgery, hubby had a case of pancreatitis and doctor visits have kept us busy and the feeling of wanting to do much of nothing. Was able to finish test tatting for Palmetto Tat Days which will be held in August. I’ll post pictures after Tat Days.
Did sign up for Palmetto Tat Days. Look forward to seeing everyone old and new.
Now that life has settled down, I have started tatting/crafting again. I am about 2 months behind on the temperature tat-along. Hoping to get catch up quickly.
Tat Tat for now.

Angels
When waiting for doctor and test results for a family member, you bring your tat bag. Yesterday was butterflies. Today is Angels to hand to nurses. Two already handed out. Tomorrow maybe more Angels to get ready for grandson’s tonsil surgery next month.
Pattern is called Marie Smith’s Angel. This was from Palmetto Tatters Tat Days many years ago. Thread is Lizbeth White and Blue Ice. Seed beads separate the rings in the middle.

TTAL Jan-Feb
Temperature Tat A-Long is done for January-February. February has been warmer than I can remember. Think I will give a nice pressing before I begin March!

Temperature Tat-Along
This is very interesting. So far, it has been a warmer than average Winter. I changed direction about 3 weeks in. Since this will be a wall hanging, I decided to make each month a column. This will make 5 additional columns wider and about half the length. I get the high temperature in the evening and start the next square. Wake up in the morning and record the low for the previous day.

Helix Tatting
The Online Tatting Class held a class on Helix tatting last month. This is a technique where multiple shuttles are used to make a coil/object. Richard Embrey is the inventor for this technique. Homework for class was to design an item using the Helix technique. I made a long coil and then carefully stitched together to make a coaster. Eventually I will tat something to fill the middle.

Project Poor
Well, this is what I have going on right now! I certainly do not lack projects.
Top is “Snow White” by Laura Bziukiewicz’s. It is my at home fill-in tatting project.
2nd row: Star Doily, author unknown, might be a Workbasket pattern. Don’t know if I will have enough thread to finish. It is HDT by me. I had one skein left so it will be as big as I have thread. Probably will start a new one once I have finished a few of my other projects. The little blue is from the Enduck’s Project called “Antiks Snowflake” adaption by Muskaan. It is another fill-in project.
Long vertical piece is the start of my Temperature Tat Along. Group is on Facebook. Not too late to join if anyone is interested.
Last is Starlight Doily from Paragon Tatting book. This has been a WIP for several years. Only work on it when traveling or when I needed to be at the hospital with mother.
Now that life has somewhat settled down, I can now start to finish these WIP’s

Tat Days 2023 Couple of Projects
I have several works in progress. Hopefully will have pictures and make a post this weekend. There are two doilies and the FB Temperature Tat-Along (that just started for 2024).
