"But, really, why does anyone create? You feel a... a restlessness inside, a need to make something new, something no one has ever seen before. You want to add to the beauty and the richness of the world with a gift, an offering that is uniquely yours. It's an act of selfishness and generosity, all rolled into one."

Correction to the Connection


See, I told you it wouldn't take long. The green part is now joined to the correct place on each plowshare. The place where I joined before is actually one of the places where the flower is suppose to join. It will all make sense when you see the next part. Hopefully I'll pay enough attention that I'll only have to do it once.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Marilee's pattern. The instructions are very clear and accurate. It's just that I'm apparently not reading on a 5th grade level this week. On the upside, I'm getting really good at adding a bead to the center of a ring.

  2. It's comforting to know that even the experts can have an 'off' day - or two! You could have just showed the completed 'perfect' piece. (I had problems seeing the mistake in the first section. I had to enlarge the photo!) This is such a unique pattern from Marilee.

  4. Ah, yes, I see what you did! Glad you re-tatted as it is such a minor change but does make a difference.
