String Beans

I asked Chris ( my man/ lover) if he would help me name this new colorway.  He said it looked like Green String.... which turned into "G-String"  {Sigh......} SMH Grrr :o/ lol
But upon further reflection... we decided upon String Beans. :o)

So, here it is:

It looks a bit like "Havana" except with out the gold.  I shot the first picture on a blue book because for some reason, my camera is wanting to turn this Spring Green/ Chartreuse into very yellow and then yield everything else looking very blue.  This is annoying since this colorway is actually quite green.

Go figs.



On a more personal note.  Miss Livi has been ill.  Yesterday she went to the doctor and come to find out she  has two ear infections and bronchitis. :o(  Poor Boo!

After a round a antibiotics, and lots of loving care she felt good enough to go to school this morning. In fact, she was quite eager to back.  I think, in part, it was due to the fact that I just finished sewing her a dress.  (with a lot of help from my Mom).  She was super excited to actually be able to wear the dress to school.... I have no doubt that when she gets home she will be ready for a nap. 

And would you believe it, I actually forgot to get a picture of the dress before she left!  I couldn't believe it.  Hopefully it didn't get too messed up on its first outing.  But, oh well :o)

UPDATE:  Livi is back from school, so we took a quick pic of the dress before she eats her veggie soup :o)

  1. "G-string", huh? Some tatters' blogs show tatted thongs. You could market the thread under that name to them, haha ;).
    Miss Olivia looks radiant in her beautiful dress. Love that twirly skirt. You did a good job! Tell her she and I are having bronchitis together. I caught mine in Hector, NY, while attending Finger Lakes Tatting Conference. Gotta love this changeable Spring weather!
    Hugs, HJ
    P.S. thanks for the heads-up.

    1. Thank you for checking up on me! I finished up my exams today. I have one more assignment to finish up by Friday, but then I'm done. I'm excited to have a break, even if for just a little while.

    2. I am giving my last exam of the semester now. Glad all is well! My younger child has at least 2 more weeks of school, so I'm looking forward to a bit of unencumbered tatting time.
