Windmills and TIAS day 7

 Mary Konior's Windmills. This pattern goes by so quickly! I might make this into a larger piece, but I think I'll leave it alone for now.
TIAS day 7. My suspicions about it being an animal look to be well founded.

And the problem continues...and gifts

Sigh

Well, just as I was starting the last ring in a new Windmill, whadaknow?
The thread breaks again! I know I tat tight, but I've never had a thread break this much. Why Lizbeth, why?
So I had to add thread all just to finish the last ring. I haven't ironed it yet, so it's wavy. I can't figure out if that means I need to make my picots longer or shorter. Anyone know the answer?

And for xmas:
3 Lizbeth in size 40 (I've only ever worked w/ size 20 b/c that's what's available at the local store here)
3 Lizbeth in size 20 (to mach other variegateds I have)
Shiny shiny beads and Swarovski crystals
Also, some beautiful Kopper Patina size 50 from LadyShuttleMaker.
