Butterflies and Flowers


Hello friends, 
This weekend was busy and fun.
On Saturday, we attended a fall festival at a local school.  There were pumpkins, food, a small petting zoo, and lots of "jumpy things for the kids."  
It was 92 degrees F so I had on my flip flops and was drinking lemonade and looking for shade! 
"OK Mother Nature, it's October!  When can WE have some cooler weather?" LOL 

In between the busyness I practiced my tatting.  
Aren't the little butterflies cute?  




Of course, more flowers...it's still all I know how to do!




This is the beginning of a larger piece.
I'm just reading the directions, trying not to get frustrated and plugging along!
We'll see what happens!


More butterflies for embellishments.


While I was out photographing my tatting I noticed my lavender was blooming again!
Everything is so confused with this 90 degree weather we've been having.
I just hope it blooms so I can gather it before it gets too cold. 


Finally, crocheted flowers all in a row with shells in-between.





What did you do this past weekend?

I've been seeing lots of pretty photos out there of your beautiful autumn colors!
Oh how I envy you!
This is my FAVORITE time of year!

Blessings,
Becca

I adore those tatted, and the crocheted flowers. Still thinking that they would make the cutest throw, or scarf.

Lovely shots, and while we have sunshine, we do envy you, your hot temps.

Hello Becca! I love your lovely little flowers. I didn't know what tatting was, now I do thanks to you. Your photos are lovely too!

I had a weekend full of friends, some work at the hospital and painting! I've tried some collage work and that's been fun. I will post this week perhaps unless the wind blows me another direction. You never know.

This weekend I was buying pumpkins, decorating for fall, and looking for costumes...in my flip flops & sipping on iced coffee! It is too hot for October. I am waiting for the fall weather too!!! :) You have such gorgeous pictures - love them. :)
I love your little butterflies, Becca! We were very warm (upper 80's) here for awhile, too, but now we are in the 50's!

Fantastic fall weather here and a wedding that reflected the fall colors with browns and oranges, deep rusts and teals, and the beginning of some raking and getting ready for winter. Lovely crochet garland and you tatting is quite amazing Becca! xox Corrine

Those tatted butterflies are so lovely, Becca! Your crochets flowers linked could make a pretty bracelet or necklace. :o) 92 degrees... oh, wow... I don't think we even reached that in high summer here... LOL! I had fleece and wool socks on this weekend! Wishing you a new, creative, happy week ((HUGS))

Well this weekend I was outdoors at my art festival in very cold and rainy temps--but enjoying it, because sales were amazing!!
Love all of your thread work--you make me want to get out my crochet hooks again!

Love the pictures and the tatting; I spent time painting and then outside enjoying the lovely fall weather we have been having.

I love your butterflies and flowers they are lovely. I wish I knew how to make these. I crochet a little, but I don't know how to tat at all. Thanks for sharing.

I just love the flowers with the shells Becca. They really are beautiful. I was in Boston this past weekend for Parent's Weekend at the college my son attends. It was a great weekend.
I can send you some much cooler (colder!) weather, as long as you send me some of that 92 degree weather! :-)

Oh Becca ~ these are just beautiful. I can not believe what patience you have to be able to do this intricate work. And good eye sight I'm thinking! Ha!

I spent the weekend with my mom ~ she is leaving for Yuma in 2 more weeks. I won't see her for 6 months. :(

Hope you are having a super week friend!

Your butterflies and flowers are beautiful! And I think if you want fall weather you will need to move to the midwest... preferably near me so you can teach me how to tat. :-)
