To Change or not to Change

This 

started as a re-work of this,

but, as it often happens, the mind wonders.

I have some issues with the (lower) pink doily, so I decided to re-work it. It is difficult to try and stick to the original design plan and it turned into the upper design.  I may decide to come back to the pink at some point.

Other tatting updates.
I have finished the Spring 2015 doily.
Size 40 milford in two shades, 16 inches wide.
Tatted a bookmark for a friend who wants to start tatting again,
Pattern by Robin Perfetti from the blog Tating by the Bay
I sewed a few fabrc bookmarks as part of a Crafting for Charity event by the Arts & Craft Guild, KL and Selangor. These were later finished with button embellishments but I forgot to take any photo with the buttons on.

I think this about sums up what I have been doing the past few months.

p.s. the title of the blog refers to the re-working of the pink doily.

p.p.s Oh, my birthday was at the end of August and I treated myself to these goodies.

    All of your tatting is superb and what color is the spring doily? Is that grays or greens? I order the shuttle you have and was a bit unhappy with the flower ones because what every they used to put the flowers on with pulled the tips apart and small threads do not stay clipped in and it unwinds.

      The thread I usede are in cream and a darker shade of ecru (don't know a name for it). It look paler in real life than in the photo.

    I do like that top one with the little picoted rings one atop the other... Your Renulek is fab! The colours are gentle and soft, and your tatting is, as always, impeccable - a joy to look at.

    Lots of goodies! I love the doily as it is. Why change it? Then again, change can be so much fun. I look forward to seeing what you decide!
