Alright, this laptop is acting up big time today, so I'm going to see if I can get this posted somehow...
Back when I first posted about the Pregnant Onion, I promised to update when it bloomed. Well, it's been blooming for a little while now... so here's the update... better late than never, no?
And the pineapple top is showing signs of life. If you look really closely, you can see the roots starting to grow...
And finally, last but not least... these little tatted bracelets...
These started when I was using leftover crochet cotton to tat and crochet little "friendship bracelets" Those little bracelets take about 10 to 15 minutes to make, and I can sell them at the flea market for a buck each. Of course, you can only make so many of them before you get really, really bored, and I started tatting this flower lace, because I remembered the pattern, and then, I noticed that I could thread ribbon through them, and then I wondered what they would look like with buttons threaded on too... and I just happened to have these cool metal buttons from a shirt that had ripped, and now I got these bracelets. I may sell them at the flea. Or Etsy. Or I may find someone to give them to. Not sure yet.
Anyway, as you can see, I've been keeping myself busy, between making these bracelets, and making those crocheted totes which are selling really well at the flea, and I'm afraid I haven't been blogging as much lately.
I do check other peoples blogs, so I'm not ignoring you!
These are adorable!!!!! So you tat too???? Damn. You put me to shame!!!! You have so many talents, Claude!!!!!!! I am leaving in the morning on my 4 day trip so will miss seeing my crocheted bag till I get back! Oh well. Something great to look forward to!!!!! Now I need to learn to tat! Looks like fun!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJulie, I'm kinda happy with those myself. I don't like tatting much... it's much slower going than crochet, but it looks good when you're done.
Deleteohhh.. how I wish I had those onions!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are truly a beauty.
James - Pregnant onions are an interesting plant... I'd send you some little ones, but i don't know the rules for Malaysia.
DeleteI like the little crochet button bracelets!
