Life has been full of grandchildren, baseball (5 games this week), and other child-related activities. We even made a trip to the zoo today. Butterbean is cutting 4 new teeth at once which has been trying at times for both of us. I've also got some sewing started. Tatting is low on my priority list for this week. At least one of the doilies I have in progress is always with me just in case, but the practice of new techniques like filet tatting and Ikuta overlapping picots in a ring will definitely have to wait. I love learning new things, so I can't bear to put either of those off much longer. Hopefully, I shall get to them next week. That's the plan anyway.
Don't be surprised if you don't see another post from me before the weekend, but I'll try to pop in to read your blogs now and then.
Happy tatting!
NOTE: If you want to see a scan of the original pattern showing what the final full-size doily looks like, Jessica has it here. I'm not sure how far I will go or what changes I may make as it gets larger, but I really like the center.

Looks like you are off to a great start on the new doily!! :)
I love this, I looked at other blog too, but did not find the whole doily are you teasing us cause the beginings look very nice :) I will google this name and see it it will show whole doily :)
Looks like you have been as busy as me take care from Carollyn
Well, life is the art of the possible, you'll get back to experimental tatting when the time is right. Good start to the doily, I look forward to seeing your progress.
Very pretty! Isn't it funny how the grandchildren make the days zip by? I've accomplished very little this week.
Thanks, all.
Madtatter80, I added a link to Jessica's post showing a scan of the original pattern with picture.
Yes, Diane, they do make the time fly. Oddly enough, they seem to go on and on like little Energizer bunnies, too. LOL
A nice start. You have to take time to enjoy the grandkids when you can, they grow sooo fast! We'll enjoy your progress as you have time.
You are so right, tattrldy.
I have been following Jessica's gorgeous doily !
Have fun with the grandkids - everything else can wait, but not the little ones :-D
Hi Eliz, Thanks for the link and for all the feedback!! The notes have been great and I'm excited to be making improvements to the pattern based on your feedback. :) If anyone has questions about the project, they can email me at jessica@snapdragonlace.com
