Just about there

Amazing how you can get backed up on projects.... Finally gotten to my blocking. The petals came back into shape nicely.

Since the holidays are approaching - the pattern, as promised. It's an old December Beauty from our friend the Panda Man.

I got a stiffie

What better to do while watching history being made than to give my first shot at stiffening doilies. I have two snowflakes I made that I want to try to stiffen to see if that will work well enough to turn these into ornaments.

Stiffener is basically glue. You soak the doily in it, squeeze it out, and block as usual. When they dry they should be 'stiff'. To what degree that is remains to be seen. if it doesn't work well, we'll have to make up a plan B. :)

The both look less-than-hexagonal while pinned, but hopefully that won't be an issue once they are hanging.

The upper left one is Pretty Snowflake from jpfun and can be found here. The lower right is Fans Snowflake and can be found here.
