forgotten

 Forgotten, not in the 'out of sight out of mind' way. Quite the contrary! It is the 'right in front of my eyes but no longer visible' kind of way.

The photographs tell me it was 19th June. After that things got so busy that I had to keep this project aside. However, I kept it in the middle shelf of my bedside unit, in plain sight! And yet it wouldn't register and I forgot to post and share. Such a disconnect!

3 sides done, and the ball of size 20 Red Heart gives an idea of the dimensions.
 
4th motif attached.

 If I were to tat this again (no way!) I'd make the picot at the tip much longer. Or, do a swirl join. 
I used a square bottle to try and block it - not quite successful. Nothing like a rolling pin to flatten out the bumps, LOL.

5th motif joined! There is space between the motifs as is visible in the above pic. One can add a ring as I had done for the mat. 

Instead what I have in mind is to make a box from transparency sheet to fit inside this. It will act as a proper container, give the lace shape and sturdiness, too. Yet, after more than a month on the shelf, it hasn't lost it's shape!
This project will remain stalled for a while, with lots of stuff taking precedence.


So, dear readers and bloggers, I hope you haven't forgotten me in the 'out of sight' way? 
I have kept abreast of blogs, quickly browsing or reading without leaving a comment. Yet the time was well spent and satisfying. 
Our EP doc (Endrucks 1920 Project document) is now all laid out and every section is covered. Some day I will get around to polishing the text, too. Last evening I sent in the 2nd of 3 articles on Endrucks to the IOLI Bulletin, phew! Many ticks against several task boxes,  with a huge sense of accomplishment.

    Good to see you posting. Of course we didn’t forget you! Know you’re very busy with the Endrucks project. A neat little box. I like the green and yellow square best.

      Ah great minds and all that jazz, Anita 😜😍 However, Mel had explained in her comment here - https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2022/06/3d-multi-use-ornament.html. Hence I am not sure it will work with this motif without several tweaks. May I look forward to you giving it a whirl? 🤩
