Looking forward to the next luminary, and I love the way you team them up with tatting patterns and things!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-30496819449553260392010-08-10T22:51:02.266+01:002010-08-10T22:51:02.266+01:00Loved that info about FN.

Thanks for tips regarding the parasol, will have another go at one, perhaps nearer Christmas as they do look good on a tree.Sally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-72624804764084229852010-08-10T19:21:52.388+01:002010-08-10T19:21:52.388+01:00Again you have surprised me! :) I certainly enjoy...Again you have surprised me! :) I certainly enjoyed the story about Florence Nightingale (most informative), and as I scrolled down I saw the cute parasol and then a link to MY blog, which was so kind of you! (I did notice that the link was broken at the time, and Tatknot confirmed it wasn't just my computer!)<br /><br />I thought you did a wonderful job on the parasol, and constructed it very well, with the lining and the handle, and bead at the bottom! The only thing I did differently was to add a wider lace at the top.<br /><br />I show photos of two parasols I made, one with the handerchief doll (May 4, 2009), and the closeup of the one hanging on my tree (March 3, 2010). If you type "parasol" in my search box, both posts show up. Also, clicking on the Christmas tree photo shows the comparative size to other ornaments<br /><br />I notice that by tying a ribbon tightly under the wide lace (as in the March 3 photo) there's more of a ruffle, making it look more like the parasols of old - rather than an umbrella! :) <br /><br />Look for an e-mail from me soon, as I received your package yesterday and am still in shock!Kathy Niklewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471658272689112787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6773419808528632842.post-64152184658529707712010-08-10T18:01:32.741+01:002010-08-10T18:01:32.741+01:00Jane is so right!
