A veil with macramé edging in 29 days?! Hee hee hee.....

...hee hee...haw...Haw...HAW...Ha...HA...HA...HA...HAAAAAAA!

Such a funny girl I can be. :)

Not that I have given up. The work continues, but it's going to be a while. Don't hold your breath!

(Now back to that laughing......)

Speaking of moving...

I just have to mention that I just finished a wonderful dinner of sushi, sushi made with brown rice, which we ordered on-line, and had delivered to our apartment. Yep, you read that right. In West Lafayette, Indiana you can get delivery of sushi made with brown rice!

I love it here.

:)

There and back again

My weekend has been devoted to making another (hopefully the last) trek back to central New York to get the last of our stuff and sign the papers for the sale of our old house.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for the next few days ... 'cause it's not over 'till it's over!

We interrupt our regular schedule to bring you this important message...

Happy Valentine's Day!

I haven't nearly finished pulling all the fringe on the first edge of my veil, but I've followed in my usual impatient path and started a section of the macramé, voila!

Here it is with my test sample, for perspective.











I'm working the pattern using 3 strands of the warp of my veil fabric for every one thread of the test sample and you can see how teeny tiny this is going to be. Hopefully I will get better at it...

One year old!

This blog. As of today. (And embarking on it's second year.)

Woohoo!

About that challenge...

Yes, I am working on it. Yes, it is going really slow. We're not talking treacle slow, more like cold tar. (sigh)

I'm pulling thread to prep the fringe for knotting. Over and over again.

I won't bore you with pictures.

The only bit of interesting news is that the actual thread of my linen cloth seems to be about 1/4 of the thickness of my test piece. If I stick with single threads this lace is going to be teeny tiny itty bitty wee!
