It's Done!

I swear this is the longest it has ever taken me to finish a relatively simple snowflake! I simply did not get back to it for days at a time. Last night when I blocked it, it looked like it had dirty places in it. I washed it with soap twice and it still looked like I'd touched it with tea-stained fingers. It's not showing up now so I don't know what that was all about.

I tatted this with thread that was on a shuttle from A. J. Smith. She had taped a tiny piece of paper on the shuttle that said #30 so I assumed that was the size of the thread. It seemed finer than that though. There's still more than half a shuttle left.

Got my tree up last night but no lights or ornaments on it yet. The weather is very mild right now so I'm considering going to 1/2 Price Books to get rid of a few boxes in my car tonight. That means I probably won't get any further with the tree. I really don't like driving that far at night during holiday season so maybe I'll just wait until the weekend. Better to look at dryers and lights instead. LOL!
