Tatting and Other Hobbies

Our Twin Cities Tatters group met this morning, and this is ALL I accomplished.  And then I goofed up at the end there and got going the wrong way!  Must've either been talking too much or concentrating too hard.  Hhmmpphh.  I will have to find time to start again, because it IS an easy, sturdy pattern, and I'm just making a towel edging.  It is, however, also one of those old written patterns that is easy to lose your place on.  Obviously.  I think I'll diagram it for myself before I start again.


I haven't been tatting much, but I have been participating in a couple of photography challenges. The 52-week challenge has me taking a photograph a week, with a certain theme as a guideline.  Week 7 was to be a faceless portrait, so this was my photo:


I have yet to finish that doily, but I thought a photo might inspire me to get back to it!

And last week some friends were doing a 7-Day Nature Photo Challenge on Facebook, so I thought I'd share the photos I posted daily for that challenge.  I'm sure I've probably posted these here before, but these are 7 of my all time favorites:








And, I'm continuing with the Zentangle drawing as well - pretty much daily!  It's fun to have some new things to explore and practice for a change, though I really don't need ANOTHER hobby. But, what the heck?  A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do :)

    I LOVE your faceless portrait! When you finish the doily, you'll need to have that photo nearby. The steps are beautiful- local?
    Thanks for this morning- I had a great time!

      Thanks! Our tatting days are always fun, even if I don't accomplish much - ha!
      The steps are at Whitewater State Park - great hiking there.

    I also love your faceless portrait! I wish I could have joined you for a tatting day. I hope we'll get the chance to meet again once I'm retired. I picture longer visits to Minnesota instead of the whirlwind weekend trips we've been making the past several years.

      It would be great if we could meet up again! If you'll be here on longer visits, we'll have to plan that :)

    When I saw your title, I was going to ask "Other interest than tatting?" Nawwww. ;-) But, I can't make fun. You are a spectacular photographer! Obviously, you have some great lenses, also. The frog in the flower is precious.

    Yeah, I've done that, get to talking and mess up. At least it's wasn't in the middle of your beautiful doily! Your pictures are wonderful! You are doing great with them.
