Another Doily and SPSD Reunion.

Well…. Here is another one. This one is pretty simple to do but I took forever. Actually this could have been done within a week since I could give just about an hour or so each day, but I took really long to finish this.

I have been suffering from chronic urticaria for over 6 months now. This is probably the third time it has struck me (once in 1999 and then in 2003). This time it is bad and I am thinking of getting a permanent cure, therefore resorting to homeopathy which is a bit more bothersome and painful than Allopath. This was probably why I couldn't finish this doily as fast as I can since last week I did nothing but itch itch and itch.

Nevertheless it’s finally done and I need to ship it away to a friend of mine. This is a surprise to her!
Another much awaited event was my reunion. Why do I call it much awaited is because this has been due for nearly 9 years now.
Here is the snap of the reunion.

Left to Right - Shradha (In Red) with her daughter Avni, Divya (In Pink), Myself and Preetha
BtwSPSD is Shradha, Preetha, Sapna(Me) and Divya. The doily is for Divya.
Shradha is a mommy of a 6 month old cute girl by name Avni, Preetha is due next month and Divya, already a mommy of a 3 year old Adhvik is currently into 6months of pregnancy with her 2nd child.

These girls are my childhood friends and the last we were all together was in 1996 I think. After that we haven’t had the time to meet as a group. This time this friend of mine was in town and we just put our foot down.

It was a very funny event I must admit cos way back in school we’d never thought that one day we will meet like this… and guess what the conversation was all about???? Babies babies and babies. Man was I out of place or what!

All the three are mothers or mom to be except me! I am not even close to it… as you can see from the pic… :-) And all they could talk was the d-day, or can you feel the baby kick and blah blah blah…

Sigh! It was all so nice to be back together… back in school we were inseparable. And the outcome of the reunion – I’ve got all the tips it takes to be a MOMMY!!!

That reminds me – I now need patterns for baby booties…

Tiger Eye Doily


Like it???? I love this one! look at the color unfolding... awesome!!!

This one is from Jan Stawasz book and I can never believe myself having tatted this... It is one of my best tatted stuff till date, no doubt and full marks to yarnplayer for providing this wonderful thread - HDT again.

It still requires blocking and I have just ironed it for now. I have never blocked till date and kept wondering if you actually need to do so, but with this I think I have to. The flower in the middle stands out so I got to flatten it quite a bit actually.

It matches with the coasters below, doesn't it???
