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!!!

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.
