Serafina Doily WIP1 (LHO2)

Round 2 successfully added.

I had originally wanted to use a different colour scheme but had to settle for this in Daruma Lace Cotton Size 30 

Col. 3 (beige) & 10 (brown).

Globes of Flowers

This staircase was from the mall to the train station.

All decked up for the lunar new year

Perfect Distraction

Would this catch your attention? It certainly caught mine. I was walking out of the underground train station when I was greeted by this. Yes, it made me smile!

Serafina motif (LHO2)

I tatted the top one first and wondered why it would not lay flat like the pattern. Well, because it was missing plenty of rings. As you can see in the second attempt when it was done correctly. It was deja vu, I know I have definitely made this same mistake before with the same results.

Peacock Feathers

It was quite a sight. 

Pretty colours. Shining in the morning sun.

We were at a Sunday street market in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.

Three more rounds completed.

Chinese New Year Decorations

The mall decorations for the upcoming Chinese New Year are up. Cherry blossoms, red lanterns and flowers galore.



The flower tunnel with streamers was very popular with shoppers. Many family photos were taken here. Little girls and boys posing with dads and moms for the family albums.

Embroidered Shorts

It is machine embroidered. I practically waited a year to get this but it will be worn to welcome the lunar new year in mid February. Do I have 15 new outfits to ring in the new year? I might, but I doubt I will make an effort to do it. I will just wear whatever is comfortable. Oh yes, I have that ethnic blouse from this post to wear too and other dresses I bought from Shanghai.

Tatted 2 more rounds since the last update. Lots of tiny rings. My poor fingers are getting thread burn from closing the small rings. Many more small rings to tat. 

Decided to change thread colour to Lizbeth Size 40 Col 180 Honey Drizzle. When will I learn to use a solid colour thread? I started out with one which looked promising but too boring.

Pandas

I have not visited the real pandas at the River Safari but I have seen this panda family a number of times now. That is because it is on my way home on the train. They are probably more cooperative for photos.
