Plenty to show tonight

Here is the mat that I started.  I need to sew in the 
ends and block it, but it's done!! :)
 Here it is on the printer paper to show size.
Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves.
The tiny doily is done.  It's 4 inches across in 
size 40 Lizbeth Orange Crush.
Here it is on the pocket notebook for size. 
 I have a friend who makes fabric yoyos for her 
sister and niece for projects.  I thought it would 
be cool to make some yoyos, add tatting and put 
on barrettes or headbands.  Well, since there isn't 
much to do here, I asked our daughter to help me 
and she did all these after I showed her how to do 
the first, and then she was inspired with project 
ideas of her own, so, you may see the finished 
ideas soon.  ;)
 I made the yoyos below.
 She left me have one of hers for this 
Ice Drop embellishment.
 I emptied shuttles making small motifs to add to 
some of the yoyos.
 Today, our daughter, Sarah, made these 2 yoyo 
pumpkins(and another later).  Super cute.  Later 
when I get access to my tatting threads, I will tat 
leaves for them.
 Then I tatted a snowflake. I found the pattern when 
searching google and it came from pinterest.  The 
designer is DorARTthea.
 And today I tatted this angel by designer Nicola 
Gooday Bowersox at Just-Tatting on Facebook.
It's called Julie's Angel.
Hope you all have had a great day!!!
Happy Tatting all!!! :)

Square 3 of 4 added to the mat, and a new idea in progress.

The mat is getting close to getting completed.
Could be a day or two depending on what life 
throws my way.
I figured out that I mess up tons more when I 
am in the process of joining one to another so...
this last one has more joins and WILL get full 
attention!!!
And....I needed a color change in the middle so...
I started another idea and guess what it includes...
of course, Ice Drops.  So, this is how far I got today 
before I decided that I needed to get that square 
done today.  I will keep you posted as the project 
progresses and hopefully works!
Oh, this is the basic pattern, but I think it's been so 
long that I got my chains mixed up, but I like 
the look so I am keeping it this way.  ;)
I hope you had a great day and got your tatting in!!

Square 2 added to my mat

Tatting it in size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves.
I want to add 2 more and make it a square.   Not 
sure I could handle adding more.  It's a challenge.
Below shows that it's just a bit larger than the 3in. x 5in. 
pocket notebook.
I have just a bit left on one shuttle so...
I may just tat another pair of Maple Leaf earrings 
to take a small break from this and also to use up that 
thread before I have to add more.
Have a wonderful night and a great tatting day tomorrow!! :)

Working on my first tatted mat

Working on a very challenging pattern(for me!!).
I think I should be a master at "un-tatting".
First picture to show it up close, second picture is to
show size, it's on a pocket notebook which is 3in. x 5in.
Tatting in size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves thread.
Pattern: http://plant.mints.ne.jp/takara/tatting/Azulejo200.pdf
 I tried to tat from the computer, but I am better if 
I have it printed or written out so I can place 
something under each line a I tat, and then I used 
the computer and placed the mouse on the area 
I am working on the diagram.Think I will keep this small, 
so planning on adding 3 more to it.
It looks easy enough, but my mind seems 
to struggle a lot working it!!
For those following our house/land situation-
there is now a septic system finally installed, 
but otherwise it is still bare land.
Hope you are getting in tatting and having 
a great day!!!  :)

Saw this video a couple of times now and had 
to share.  I have enough trouble tatting while 
seeing, I can't imagine tatting all the beautiful
