I am wearing my Christmas present today and tatting!!! :)

 For those who don't know, I received a 

fabulous sweatshirt for Christmas(in the 

center of the picture below).  :)

And the beads on the left near the ladybug 

which are in this tatted necklace(and were in 

my last one also).

 Here is the close-up.  This is a shell necklace which 

has matching earrings(which I will be added tatting to also).

 I have to sew in the ends and add a clasp, but for the 

most part it's finished.  :) 

This necklace pendant has a whole in the center and

I wanted it to have a tatted piece so, I placed a free 

swinging butterfly inside.  Our daughter really likes 

it, so I am sure someone else will also!!! :)

 Here is a close-up of how I finished the chains.

I tatted the main parts with beads, but...

 for the shoulders and back I used rings and 

chains to the beads and tatting wouldn't rub 

against the neck.

The beads and tatting kind of swirl a bit, 

but I am going to try and tame that with 

blocking if it's possible.  ;)

Have a wonderful Palm Sunday weekend, 

and happy tatting!!! :)
