You are striking a good balance with having a small project and a big one at the same time.Laviniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077833136741791230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-2165719297735510702020-11-20T15:42:14.536+00:002020-11-20T15:42:14.536+00:00That’s a good point too, victats@gmail.com!!!!

I enjoy the challenge that tatting still gives me. I have found patterns that comfort me and I return to them when needed. I also love the anticipation of the arrival of packages and I like your orange flower.

It’s been through marriage, divorce, several house moves and I think it’s still in the house somewhere!!!! I will NOT be finishing it - that’s for sure!!! Like you I work on several things usually too but at the moment the Fandango has my full attention!!!Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-44682295283760522902020-11-16T13:05:00.106+00:002020-11-16T13:05:00.106+00:00Love that tatted piece!!! :)

I have a tablecloth still in progress and am in no real hurry to get it done. I work on several projects at a time for change of pace, color, and design. ;)God's Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235608410243857253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-70913385471222342732020-11-16T12:48:19.660+00:002020-11-16T12:48:19.660+00:00I agree.

It's very gratifying to work it out like a puzzle, to learn and explore, and feel the materials and process unwind in your hands, before your eyes, and in your mind!<br />The medallion's colors are lovely- thank you, Jane, and all you other ladies for sharing, teaching and challenging.Eleanorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01979031572453105474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-49861515894098351392020-11-16T09:17:38.659+00:002020-11-16T09:17:38.659+00:00Lovely to hear from you, Jon.

I've now forgotten what I wrote about - old age, you know!!!!<br />If I sit and 'just watch' the telly I fall asleep!!! My long term project is the Fandango squares at the moment but I really need a reason for doing them now!!!

I don't know how long that is going to take. Sometimes I go days without picking up. In between, I work on smalls, bookmarks mainly, that I would give away. I seldom have 'what's next' moments, I guess. <br /><br />I totally agree with Jane McLellan on the 'doing nothing' bit. I couldn't even sit down just watching the tele without my hands working on something.Tat-a-Rendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15457269449603084653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-69906633214195803052020-11-16T08:44:40.628+00:002020-11-16T08:44:40.628+00:00Gosh, Jane, you're so right about sitting doin...Gosh, Jane, you're so right about sitting doing nothing. My father was an expert on that. He'd sit and stare into space for ages and ages. Never did understand that.

I certainly don't do megachunky! The other one that puzzles me is the remark I often hear - I wouldn't have the patience for that, from people who are sitting doing absolutely nothing. To me it takes more patience to sit idly! Jane McLellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221433363521511688noreply@blogger.com
