I had this Romanian point Lace flower started when I gave the program for my lace group. The red filling was done with the group but I used the rest of the petals to practice fillings Tuesday night and last night. I learned the backstitch wheel, petal weave, interwoven circles, chain stitch, and feather stitch. I really wanted to get the petal weave and interwoven circles down. Took me 3 tries to get the circles done in a way I felt comfortable with. The backstitch wheel and the petal weave were fillings I tried last week and knew I wasn't doing right. I got it this time. Now, just need to practice.

Wednesday night I took a watercolor class in brushwork with Rena Brouwer in Frankfort. The second half is next week. It's just really so much fun - I love looking at it the next day because it never looks like it did when I was actually working with it. I always think it's horrible. It's just so hard for me to visualize how it will look when it dries. The point of these classes is brushwork techniques so I haven't really made an effort to finish them completely.

I'm tatting too but have nothing to show yet. Life has just been very busy.
