More suncatchers and a bookmark

This is Sue Hanson's Val's Suncatcher:  http://freespace.virgin.net/bo.hanson/Tatting/CrystalRing/CrystalsRing.html

This suncatcher is tatted with size 40 Lizbeth Island Breeze and cheap kids plastic blue beads.

 This suncatcher is tatted with size 40 Lizbeth Scottish Thistle and cheap kids plastic purple and green beads(the green beads have a slight blue hue to them, but when it the light it doesn't show as much).

And then this beautiful bookmark.  It's Hearts by Dee Powell from the book Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle.  It's tatted in size 40 Tat-ilicious HDT from Jess called Queen Anthias.  I love how beautiful it is, but I am not sure if I can use it as a bookmark, because I had to block this one to get it straight-so I wetted it down with water and pinned it to paper towel and some of the pink and purple colors bled onto the paper towel and I wouldn't want that to get on pages of books(unless they are mine forever-then no problem).  So I am thinking that this bookmark is for me.  :)

Rainbow-licious Large Cross done!! Thanks to Jess!

Here is the Mary Konior Large Cross that I started and ran out of thread awhile back. Thanks so very much to Jess from Tat-ilicous for sending me some to finish the last 2 rings and 2 chains!!! I have a very sweet lady I am going to give this too. I just know she will glow when she gets it!! :) Thanks again Jess for your kindness and generousity!!! You have just blessed 2 people, and may the blessings return greatly!!! :)

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).

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:

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/
