My Mainland concert ukulele should be here tomorrow. I can’t remember when I’ve been so excited.
I’m getting a hilarious reaction from my family…. like DON’T play the ukulele around us! But I am excited enough about the musical possibilities that I will love disappearing into my own little world of music.
In case you associate ukuleles with Tiny Tim, take a look at these two Youtube videos. This beautiful style is what I am most interested in learning.
Also, I’m working on tatting my first doily. It’s Mary Konior’s Flowerpiece from Visual Patterns. It’s a bit ruffly around the edges right now. Hope it flattens out when I put the last round of flowers on it.

/ May 5, 2011This is exciting. I hope we get to see pictures tommorrow and see a video soon thereafter! I don’t even carry a tune in a bucket but do enjoy hearing music by others. Karen in OR

/ May 6, 2011Looking forward to seeing your finished tatting doily. Once it’s done and blocked it will be awesome. I love Mary Konior’s patterns. I have worked on a few of her patterns too.

/ May 6, 2011Nancy, I think it is going to be okay. I plan to block it before I add the last round.
Her patterns are special to me, too. I thought this one was too advanced for me, but once I started working on it, it’s pretty straightforward. 🙂
