A Tatted "Name Tag"

 

I was working on trying to make a "name tag" for 

someone I know and struggled a ton with it, 

but today after watching 2 video tutorials 

and sitting down and realizing I need to 

slow down and do extra checks, I got it done 

and it really didn't take that long, which is 

frustrating since it has taken me over a month 

to figure out.

Here it is done with the tatting part. Next is to 

get a pin or something to be able to wear it.

It's Robin Perfetti's Meandering Bookmark from 

Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks book.

Only tatters will find my mistakes(yep, there are mistakes!!!)

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and 

get some tatting in!! :) 

Still having trouble commenting, but I do have some things to show

 Blogs have me as Anonymous, but I am not. ;) 
I leave my name and blog name so people know it's me.

I haven't had much time lately, but am gaining a little.
I had a cross I needed to tat for a lady. It's ready to go, 
but she was sick yesterday so I will bring it till I see her. 
**update: so sorry, I forgot to say it is tatted with Lizbeth 
size 40 Purple Iris Fusion-hard to see through the plastic.

I have also been working on crochet which I am so 
excited about....besides my tatting.  ;)

I made a cocoa mug scarf(you should know that I 

LOVE cocoa!!!).

***update, my apologies, I forgot to say the pattern 
is from Crochet Collector on facebook and Etsy.

 And, I am on a plastic canvas project for a guy 

who wants a Go Blue sign(for football I think-
I am not into sports). ;)

***another update- this sign is finally done:

So, I am doing something.

Have a wonderful week and happy Tatting!!  :)

 

Cannot comment on blogs till they fix it again.

 I signed in to Blogger, and started checking blogs in my list, but when I went to comment I said comment as anonymous, and I decided to check the top and it says "sign in".  But yet, I am already signed in.  It goes through this once in awhile and so, I just want to say, what I saw on the blogs I usually comment on looks great!!  Will start commenting again when possible.
That is my only real complaint about the blogs. ;)
Have a wonderful week and great tatting times!!! :)

A necklace

 It's a pattern by Madjar Tatting on Etsy. Link here:

  I really like the design. 
But as for tatting it....I found that she calls for 81 beads, but I 
would need more to have it go all the way around my neck, 
and I did add about 8 more beads and it's still too short. 
I wanted to make a necklace to go with this shirt I got at 
Hobby Lobby.  I love the color!  It's so different than common 
colors.  I feel it's a pinkish purple(almost raspberry). 

The pattern says size 20 thread, but I only had a size 40 
that would compliment the shirt and beads.  It's Lizbeth 
Purple Iris Dk.  I used 2 strands hoping it would be good 
enough to equal the size 20.  Beads are size 6mm which 
I had to order from Amazon.  I was so happy that the color 
was so perfect!! :)

So, I have to either tat some more to get the sides 
close enough for a clasp, or figure some kind of 
to connect the ends to the shoulders while wearing.
Either way I do like it!! :)
Happy Tatting everyone!! :)
