Nocturnal Tendencies

I'll start with the disappointment: This post has nothing to do with owls.  Sorry.  

For as long as I can remember, I have always been naturally nocturnal, especially in the warmer months of the year.  In trying to combat this and be awake during more "normal" hours, I often having what I call a "reset day."  This is when I skip sleeping altogether until the next night.  Usually, these days are not very fun.  I actually do try to sleep, but it doesn't happen.  Giving these days a name is my way of just accepting it as a normal part of my life.  

Often, those days end up being a Sunday (so, yes, I am writing on about one hour of half-sleep, its 9:20PM here, and I probably will not go to sleep until one or three AM.)  Yesterday, I decided that, if I was going to accept the sleep deprivation (which really doesn't bother me; if I'd listen to my body, my natural pattern would be around 36 hours awake; 12 hours of sleep; repeat), I might as well do something... so, I did...

 Two Keyed Up Earrings and Pendant sets from Tatted Jewelry by Marilee Rockley

Lacy Treasure Pendant from Tatted Jewelry by Marilee Rockley

I left the Lacy Treasure Pendant plain because I wanted it for size comparison.  Yup, be expecting to see it again. ;-)

Pendant based on Roundabout Earrings by Marilee Rockley

The last one I actually made a while ago, but it was sitting here and I couldn't remember if I'd ever scanned it, so here it is (possibly again).

Well, that's it for me.  Time to figure out if my night should include even more tatting or if my wrist needs a break (my eyes certainly do!). 

Here are so scans of the Keyed Up Earrings and Pendants. 

Oh, everything is tatted using Lizbeth size 10 or 20.  Colors vary and I'm too lazy to look up the names and numbers.  They're quite different from the pictures and scans.  When am I going to figure out how to do one of those right? >.<
