Mid-August Catchup!

Aug 15th

Breakfast on the balcony was a bit warm but then the clouds came in and it's just right!  I don't want to leave now for my appointment! ☹

This evening again at the Lyric Theatre at Assiniboine Park listening to McGiver with Carmine LaRosa with Angela again (glad we're here, they are really good).  We thought it was Emm Gryner but that's Sunday evening!  Saw a friend Chris from years back!  WOW!!!!

OH OH OH, another lovely tatting exchange within Fringe Element Tatters group!  I can't wait for Sept 27th-29th when I get to meet some of these talented ladies at retreat!  Thank you Rita for the exquisitely made bookmark, earrings and the pretty Kleenex case!  WOW!!!!





Aug 17th

WOW!!!  Finally it's my kind of weather and I'm kept company with Fred n Zero on the deck.  Maybe get more tatting done before heading out to Hamish and supper with my sister!  Busy weekend!





OOOHHHHH I'm so excited and finally relieved that I've got the knack of this split ring under over interlaced technique!!!  NOW after like 10 inches I can finally tat on my fingers without the assistance of the TABLE to keep things in order!



Help please?  I've used my Celtic fabric with my own design but running out of fabric for the binding.
I've three options:
1. Left side and bottom is using the design at 45° angle for patches of dark and design?
2. Top and right side is using the outer border medium fabric?
3. Cut a strip of the dark green from between designs and sew to medium to make required width and seam at outer edge and sew so just the dark is the binding?
Please let me know your choice.  Thank you!

Ohhhh Ohhhh Ohhhh it's heaven on the deck this morning.  Earlier I was at the condo but too chilly on that corner!  😂  Even Zero is staying outside whereas the other day he stayed a bit then went in! Fred wants to play fetch!  OK!!!

Ohhhh they are sooooo tired!!!!  Zero guarding the door incase I try to leave him!!!!  Fred just wants to be beside me!!!!



Another evening concert T the Lyric Theatre at Assiniboine Park with Angela but it sure is "fallish"!  This time listening to Emm Gryner.

Well one more item off my bucket list.  Today Edna and I took Trolley 596, the free Domo Shuttle to Assiniboine Park foot bridge where we started our walk around before the ride back!  Lovely!









Yummy yummy yummy!  Again we shared a 2 piece pickeral and fries and our beer!  Now sitting in the blue chairs checking out the river action!  Stopping to pick up our cinnamon buns before heading home!


OMGG in all the visits to the condo I've never seen this.  I was opening the folding blinds and heard this roaring sound, looked up and saw this Herc coming towards me!  Kinda got the weebie jeebies flashback to 2011!  I barely had time to open my phone, so no zooming in just 1:1 photo out the window, no time to get to the balcony either.  It looks smaller in the picture but looked lots larger out the window!!!


OK this time I had time to get out on the balcony and video it before it headed out EAST!

Dang it's going over again and this time in the sky too are two parasailers too!  So quickly got a few shots before they landed at Shaw Park for pregame program and ended with another circle of the Herc.  Guess it's flying practice before shipping out???

#2 heading down

#1 slower but finally coming down

#1 heading in also

Herc around again!  Maneuers???

After my baked salmon and asparagus supper I decided to have a Nespresso with milk.  I stirred it and made my first foam design! HMMM!!!


DANG!!!!  It's thundering and lightening and I hate that!  Plus there's nothing but windows in this condo with lighter window coverings than my light blocking curtains!  It better fly over fast!!!!  And no power outages!!!!
