Spring



1st September is officially the first day of Spring, so it's fitting that our first lamb was born overnight, and the apricot tree is full of blossom. The apricot tree has no leaves yet, of course, I'll have to lend it some of my tatted leaves. These are numbers 66 and 67:
This is  my second attempt at 66 and it still doesn't look like the picture in the book, I'm not sure why. These leaves, like several of the others, use pearl tatting, where the middle thread emerges to be used for the leaf outline. Clever.

    What a sweet sheepie! - our trees have blossomed as well, in fact they bloomed very early this year because winter happened only on one or two days for a couple of hours - but unlike you, I do not welcome this sight. Spring in Brisbane means the return of STORMS - which I hate.Soon the jacarandas will be in bloom as well, and that signifies the end of the academic year.Exam time for the students.

    Spring! And a lamb to boot! The apricot tree looks very pretty with just the blossoms.

    Haven't tatted much shoes seem like miracles to me!

    I really like the use of pearl tatting in these. I recently noticed that we don't have very many leaf tatting patterns on the internet. It's nice to know that there are some books with leaf patterns. Love the seasonal pictures. We are enjoying temps in the 80s here for a few days after weeks and weeks of 90s. It reminds us that fall is not far away.
