Tatting along........

I tatted this cross for another senior who 

recently joined our Sunday night group.

It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Red Burst. 

Pattern is:  http://www.georgiaseitz.com/2002/ginabcross5.html

 Next, I wanted to empty a shuttle and tried to tat 

my own tiny heart design.  It's ok in the picture, but 

not to my liking.

 Attempting another heart I ended up with this cute 

little motif.  It kind of resembles a heart.

 Now, this is so far off from what I thought I was 

going to tat.  I wanted a bracelet, but when the first 

round curled instead of going straight I knew it was 

not a bracelet.  I tatted the second round and like it.

 Then, trying for a bracelet shape again, I ended up 

with a pretty bracelet!!  :)

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Coral Med.(I believe).

 And, yesterday while out I found these cute turkey 

buttons.  They had little signs which said pardon me 

and pick him, but I only wanted the turkeys for these 

fabric yoyos to put on headbands or barrettes.  Well, 

our older granddaughter saw them and wanted to know 

how much I wanted for them and I told her I didn't 

know yet, and she claimed the bottom right one for 

her own and wants it put on a pin.
Her sister has claimed one of our daughter's fabric 

pumpkins already.

Well, it's been a long day after a super long sleepless 

night and we have to be up in less than 8 hours.  I 

am going to try and find sleep again.

Have a wonderful day or night wherever you are, 

and get your tatting in!! :)

Tatting fights boredom!!!

Since we are running out of money and 

of course that means we can't "run around", 

it gets awful boring in this room!!!
So, more tatting is getting done.  I tatted 

this cross today for a sweet lady who makes 

the breakfast they serve each day and she 

spoils my hubby!!!

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Juicy Watermelon

(left on shuttle from the doily).

Yesterday I tatted a heart in the same color for 

the lady in housekeeping.  I didn't get a picture, 

but here is the link to the pattern:

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

Some tatting just for some color and sparkle while it was gray outside

A Juicy Watermelon Heart.

The pattern A Heart for Him from Elaine P. Gan.

Size 40 Lizbeth Juicy Watermelon and tiny red beads.

 And tatted in the same thread and beads, 

another beaded flower from: Corina Meyfeldt        pattern here:  http://cmhandmade.blogspot.com.es/2013/07/pattern-for-beaded-flower.html  .

Still working at dwindling my challenge, but tatted these to empty a shuttle, 

and am working on a bracelet for the same reason.  Hopefully it will be finished today.

Lots of things going on this week so I don't know how much tatting I will accomplish, but if I get anything done it will show up here!  :)

Have a wonderful day, and hopefully accomplish some tatting!  :)

Hope your new year of tatting is starting well!!! :)

Well, Christmas was very nice to my tatting stock!!!  :)

I actually got to pick everything out myself so it's extra good!!!  This first picture is of all the goodies I "received" for Christmas.  :)  Lots of thread, beads, and extras, plus a new book!!!

 Since last year was so super busy for me I wasn't able to share lots of things I "acquired" throughout 2014.  There was probably more, but I can't remember.  I sure hope this year to be able to tat up many of these beautiful threads and much of my new Christmas tatting items!!!  :)

 I have been test tatting for Elaine P. Gan  at Test Tatters on Facebook again.

This was my second test tat this year a heart in Lizbeth size 40 Juicy Watermelon.

 This is an earring(which is my second attempt at the pattern), and it's tatted in Lizbeth size 40  Green Coral Sea.

 We had one of our seniors from our Sunday night Bible group pass away the week before Christmas.  At her memorial was this beautiful banner.  While I was sitting there I noticed that from the distance it looked like tatted snowflakes.  

 Upon a much closer look I noticed they are stickers, but I think some could be tatting inspirations.  :)

 I also think someone more talented than me could actually create a banner as beautiful as this in tatting

(maybe not as large cuz' this is huge, but either way it would be gorgeous and a treasured keepsake I am sure!!!).

I have many tatting goals this year and I am hoping to meet most if not all of them!!!  :)

Have a wonderful and tatting filled day!!!
