This was taken out my front door this morning. As you can see Mother Nature fooled us again here in beautiful (tongue in cheek) Northern Illinois. They cancelled church because we got 2" of ice under 8" of snow! Welcome Spring! ( Love snow on the Colorado Spruce but in December not March!) Oh well there are dozens of children screaming with glee they can get their snow suits on once again! LOL.
Here is 'Quadrille' earrings in size 20 in 'Brilliant Sunset' thread by Yarnplayer. Below is them compared to a penny-so you get some idea how big they are. I really like this pattern for earrings. They are light enough you don't notice they are in(no chance of ripping holes out either) but large enough they don't fall out!
Below are a pair done in 'Roses' size 50 (also Marilee's thread) compared to a penny . I already had to make a replacement earring because I lost one. These are lighter still and I would put a back on the wires so you don't miss place one. After all it is a shame to put all that work into them and loose them!
Here they are by themselves. Click on pictures to see them bigger. All of these have been needle tatted even though Marilee's pattern calls for shuttles. Next challenge is to make a pair using shuttles- but what color? So many to choose, so little time. :)

It's still snowing here (50 miles south of Chicago), but it's not sticking to the roads. I can still see grass... it's just frosted!
The earrings are beautiful!
Look at all that snow!
Yarnplayer's new pattern looks beautiful in that "brilliant sunset" and "roses"! So pretty! Thanks for sharing the pics.
