The Busy Month of May

May is jam-packed with events and special days, with several birthdays, graduations, and programs, as well as Mother’s Day.  Just signing cards takes a lengthy amount of time. Especially when I have to add tatting to each and every one 🙂

One of the graduates mentioned the Easter Cross I made would look good as a bookmark. Who am I to argue?

Easter Cross made as a bookmark

I have noticed that purple is a favorite color, so I made one in Lizbeth #641, Lilac Dark, in size 20. Other than a bit of trouble closing the large Self-Closing Mock Ring at the bottom it came out well. The recipient loved it!

Graduates card and Easter Cross as a bookmark

I’m very proud of my daughter for graduating college!

We have also attended a play, a concert, a soccer game, and a birthday lunch in the last twelve days. Considering both my husband and I work full time with a lot of overtime, we have been kept exceedingly busy. And May is not over yet!

I still have a couple of graduation gifts to finish. Both graduates live some distance away so cards will have to be mailed. Isn’t it great that tatting can fit so nicely inside cards?
