2012 25 Motif Challenge: Motif #6 Sidekick Doily

Doily is done!! Size 10 Passionata Aunt Lydia's thread. It's from Elegant Tatting Patterns by Janet Carroll.

My daughter has claimed it and already put to use. :)

Just bracelets today

I have made this bracelet before(one just like the bottom one). It's called the Wandering Blooms Bracelet and the pattern is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20051201013809/www.georgiaseitz.com/2005/dmcbracelet.pdf

I don't make it just like the one on the pattern, but it's close and from the pattern.

The top one is done in Lizbeth size 20 Black.

And this one is done in a HDT from Tatskool. It's Coral Reef size 40.

Requests getting done!! :)

Here are the suncatchers!! The top 2 are my mother-in-law's, the bottom rainbow is my friend's, and the last one is for me. :) Have a very happy day!!! :)

Oh, and I should mention that the beads are all cheap plastic kids beads I have had for years(since my girls-who are all adults now-were young and making little "necklaces" and such).

Suncatchers catching on... :)

I made our oldest granddaughter a rainbow suncatcher.

Then another..this for our youngest daughter(21). And as you can see it's hung already.

And my friend has requested a rainbow one. And my mother-in-law a rainbow one and a pink/purple/blue one. And this weekend when we surprised my mother-in-law with a birthday celebration she loved the bracelet I made her, and she saw the Valentine heart earrings I made and gave me $4 for them. The bracelet and one of the Valentine heart earrings is in this previous post: http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2012/01/lots-of-tatting-and-updates-and-2012-25.html

So....now I am off to make another 3 suncatchers(sure am glad I bought many bangle bracelets!). :)

Have a great day everyone!!!

2012 25 Motif Challenge Motif # 5 Suncatcher

Oh my goodness this is pretty(to me). This is Sue Hanson's Val's Suncatcher.

It's made in a bangle bracelet and in size 40 Pink/Purple/Blue variegated HDT from Jess at: http://jess-tats.blogspot.com/ I love this gorgeous thread!!! And I think this will be a birthday gift for our youngest granddaughter and make another for her older sister, and I have a request from my youngest daughter(21) for a Rainbow-licious one.

Lots of tatting and updates and 2012 25 Motif Challenge #4

First to start are 5 pairs of Christmas trees to fill my orders(minus the one for my granddaughter which I need special earrings and to alter the tree pattern and make it smaller).

Next is my Motif #4 Valentine Earring(s)-I only made one today. The pattern is here:

http://allcraftsblogs.com/tatting_patterns/valentine_earings_tatting_pattern/valentines_earings_tatting_pattern.html

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas red with clear glass beads.

I also made 3 more rainbow crosses so I have some in stock for when my mother-in-law wants more.

Next is a bracelet for my mother-in-law's birthday next week. It's the Wandering Blooms bracelet(slightly modified). The pattern is here: http://web.archive.org/web/20051201013809/http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2005/dmcbracelet.pdf
Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Royal Blue.

Update on the tablecloth for my husband. Still making slow progress, but at least it's happening. I laid it across the table for this picture, but it will go lengthwise when actually finished. I didn't plan on the empty circles, but without any pattern things happen. My husband is happy either way.

Needing a change of design and color I tried this doily with a size 10 Aunt Lydia's crochet thread. The color name is Passionata and it looked to me almost like an autumn rainbow on the spool, but.....I wasn't quite as thrilled when seeing it worked up, but it's nice for a color change and to try this doily-which will be done again in better colors(hopefully!). :) The doily pattern is Sidekick from Elegant Tatting Patterns by Janet Carroll.

I needed a little more tatting organized storage and so...I was ok'd to buy this. And it's almost full already. :)

And my favorite thing to show tonight!!!! New Bright and Beautiful Threads from Jess at http://jess-tats.blogspot.com/
