For the last couple of weeks I've been playing roulette with my CQ needles, my dyes and lots of tiles/grout for my new walk-in shower. Yea! The shower is finally done and I'm happy to say that I actually enjoyed my first loooong hot shower in my own home in over a week! I'll post pictures of the before and after once the walls are painted. I'm thinking maybe I'll give myself a break from this type of hard labor until next week. Already have my paint picked out (warm coco) and have plans on making a one-of-a-kind shower curtain - wait until you see what I've dreamed up - I can't wait to get that project started!
After my days of tiling & grouting I relaxed by catching up on some of my RR's. 3 of them are already in the mail leaving me with about 4 more to do. Once I've completed these RR's, I need to get caught up with the TAST and CQJP projects. I've decided to combine both and actually have January's done.. but here it is March so I guess I need to get my mojo working overtime! After that I think I am going to give my hands some much needed rest as they have seriously been hurting over the past week. I know I should have elected to have the surgery in January but I just didn't have the time to have my hands tied up for weeks at a time. Tough getting old.
A weeks worth of CQ -

Dear Nicki ~ You have been one busy lady. I can't wait to see what you've done and are creating for your bathroom.
ReplyDeleteYour laces are lovely as always.
I am so far behind with TAST that now it feels like a burden to get caught up.
I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about a calling card case from an antique pattern and trying to figure out how it's going to work. Then I got up this morning and cut out felt for lining my needle cases crocheted with the new colors. I have seven of them to complete, then photograph and get them uploaded to my Etsy shop too.
There just doesn't seem to be enough time to do everything, so I just do what I can.
Do give your hands a break so as not to hurt them further.
Hope your day is a lovely one ~ FlowerLady
Beautiful stitching Nicki Lee! Do take good care of your hands.
ReplyDeleteI shall be drooling over your new laces, I know.....

ReplyDeleteNicki, I am drooling over these photos and all the things you've been creating. I especially love that first image of the SRE roses...mmmm! All of it is gorgeous, gorgeous, georgeaous. I will be checking your shop. I need to get a handle on what I need for my current projects.
ReplyDeleteThese pieces are just stunning. Love all the detail. Really love the Cabbage rose frame for Ely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nicki, for checking out my blog, too! I have never tatted a seahorse, but I will sure try! I will let you know how I do, okay?
ReplyDeleteOh my....everything is simply beautiful! I love the framed lady ~ I have a special piece of lace I have been saving to do that and the clusters of flowers....now I am off to your etsy shop.....can't resist after seeing the new pieces!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Terri & Ladies!
DeleteSO sorry that I haven't had a chance to upload all my new pretties - trying to get caught up on a million things - hopefully I'll be able to upload a bunch this weekend. Please let me know if there's something you need (want LOL!)
Your laces are beautiful. I particularly like the blue heart.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have 2 more of these hearts dyed up in similar colors - if you are interested I can list them in my Etsy shop.
