End of the semester stress but "Peacock" is the shop!

"Peacock just got listed in the shop--------------------------->
Which you find over there to the side.

I just had to do another of Frivole's "The Heart Within", this time in size 40.

Here is the size 40 next to size 80 that I showed last night.

Now, I am going to take a Biochem quiz.  I am not excited about it!! I can not believe it is already the end of the semester.  I am really freaking out!!

Peacockery, and many thanks!

I first off want to say that I LOVE this pattern by Frivole!!!!!

It's "The Heart Within"

It's a quick tat as well, which kind of surprised me. 

I've actually done 4 so far (in the last 24 hours, BUT I'm not done with the fourth just yet, and I dropped the shuttle with the heart attached between the seat and console of my car. :o(

Also, I messed up a little bit when cutting my threads on the one in the middle which is why it is destined to be forever attached to an ATC card via a little red brad lol. 

The one on the far right is the new Rainbowlicious (size 40)!

Do you like the first two??

They are both size 80 Tatilicious Peacock (I think it looks peacockish, don't you??)

The base thread is Lizbeth.  I am going to have two skeins in the shop sometime tomorrow. Because they are Lizbeth though, the skeins are only 40 yards. Well technically they are 40 meters, so they are about 43 yards.  But if you are going to get technical, my 50 yards meter skeins are actually 54.68 yards.

I scanned the threads, but I am very dissatisfied with how they look on my screen, so I'll photograph them tomorrow. 

Now a "thanks" to Sherry for posting a fabulous tutorial on how to do a spiral chain!

She may have posted it in 2007, but I only found it last week, so.. yea...

Before Sherry, my lame attempt at a Josephine chain to finish a bookmark.

After Sherry, this thread is some of the thread that I had dyed as it was wrapped around a ~2 inch cardboard piece. You may or may not remember it.  The base thread was some vintage thread. 

Pretty crazy how much her method helped huh??

Now.... Has anyone else gotten Karey Solomon's Bouquet of Bookmarks??

I really like the designs in it, but they are not easy (at least not for me)

Part of my problem may be that there aren't any diagrams and reading is already an issue for me.

But, I knew that there weren't going to be any diagrams so that's not a complaint!

I'll try to post some pictures of my several attempts at a few of the patterns. lol
