I've almost got my gold mask done. The braid for the top is done and just needs the final glueing. The friends I'm housesitting for have a dremel and I'll let Craig drill out the nose holes a bit more when they return.

Last night I couched down the last cord for my RPL mask. I have 3 more ends to hide and several edges to fasten together and then I can start the needlelace. One of the ladies who was at the OSHA workshop with me brought in some shuttles she no longer uses. One was the Boye metal one and the other was a red Boye plastic with the long nose. Nothing new to my collection unless I don't have the red one....how bad is that? I can't even remember if I have it! So during a boring part yesterday, I tatted off the rest of her thread on the metal one into a butterfly and some flowers. She quilts extensively but I couldn't tell if she liked Crazy Quilting or not....didn't exactly get a highly excited answer about that. LOL!

Not Martha changed from a blog to a website! I wondered why my link wouldn't work. I'll have to change that at the weekend...or maybe now.

By the way, that tatted braid for my mask would make a lovely bracelet or trim on clothing.
