100 Days of Tatting

Yesterday I worked on the long next row of the doily on the left. Today I will continue working on that long row.

Also, yesterday I started another large painting. This one is 24"x48". I will post a finished picture of it next week. You can watch my progress daily of tatting and painting on Instagram.

I spent the morning falling apart,

but I like sorting things,

and organizing things,

and doing puzzles, so

I’ll spend the afternoon

putting myself back together.

100 Day Project: The Sun, Librettist Etraordinaire

First week, first big painting, 30" x40" acrylic on canvas.

I haven't signed this yet because I am going to look at it for a while to decide if it is actually finished or if there is anything else it needs, but in the meantime, I am very excited about starting the next big painting tonight. It will be 24"x 48". I post progress pictures on my Instagram page.

Mardi Gras Pop

You know it's Mardi Gras season when you can buy King Cake Soda at the grocery store,

"Party on, dudes!"

"Before New Orleans, there was Mobile, Alabama — the birthplace of Mardi Gras in America."

100 Day Project, Starting Point

Yesterday was the first day of my Painting Large project, The Sun, Librettist Extraordinaire.
This is what I'm starting with, a 30" x 40" canvas that I started a long time ago and set aside. I worked on it last night, and will keep working on it until it is finished. Next week I will have a finished picture of it to show you.

Monster Costume

Threadbare from continuous use, strained,

rent, fragile skin, dreadfully damaged.

Meticulous repair to manage.

The monster must remain contained.

100 Day Project, Starting New and Continuing Old

A new 100 Day Project is starting in 2 days, January 22, 2020. I am calling mine, The Sun, Librettist Extraordinaire, and I am going to paint Large instead of (actually, in addition to) the little paintings I usually do, painting every evening to finish a large canvas each week. This does not mean that I am going to quit my 100 days of tatting. Tatting will continue.

Here is an update picture of my continued tatting. I have not yet tatted today, but I will post today’s tatting on my instagram page later when it is finished.

Dessert First

He orchestrated

romance,

smiled

at the waitress,

told her the plan.

Dessert first,

then dinner.

We shared it

as if it was last.

It was not good,

but this date

was the best.

The moon smiles.

The stars twinkle.

The dark night covers the sky

as you and I

climb into bed.

Interrupt Me

I want your time and attention.

No matter what I’m in the middle of,

You are more important.

Interrupt me,

Please.

Find Me

Headphones on.

Music playing.

Counting stitches.

Lost in imagination.

Find me.

Reality with you

is better than make-believe.

Doodling Hearts

At night I dream of you

Awake or asleep, I think of you.

Everlasting, unfailing, my feelings for you

You mean the world to me

You are my sun, my moon, and the stars too.  

I love you in so many ways

Let me count the ways. It will take all day.

I’m writing over and over again

Doodling hearts until my pencil breaks

I Love you, love you

I love you, forever

Never forget, Always remember,

I Love you, love you

I love you, forever

100 Day Project, still tatting

Tatting every day December 21st, 2019 to March 19th, 2020.

This is what I have tatted since January 1st. 

I tatted the chain to my pretty stone pendant today.

You can see them each day on Instagram as I tat them.

 

 

The King Keeps the Key

Everything I do

reminds me of you,

even the smile

on the face

of the man

in the moon.

 What is the best time to rescue a princess?              .....Knight time

An Eclectic Mind

I love the sky,

the moon,

the sunset and sunrise,

the shapes in the clouds.

I’d give Rorschach butterflies.

His ink blots,

I would romanticize.

Find a story of a princess and a castle,

and with a dragon, glamorize.

“Passionately unhinged,”

he’d summize.

“Away with the fairies.

Must supervise.”
