Yes, I have been tatting.

My daughter gave me lots of stones to 

tat around and sometimes they really 

inspire me.  This is one of 3 similar 

stones.  They are all the same greenish/

blue.  I like how this turned out!

This is Lizbeth size 40 Countryside with 

clear glass seed beads.  I thought it was 

Blue River Glades(which is set out for 

the next one.)  ;)

This is a Tiger Eye Tear Drop stone.  I 

like these colors for autumn.  Lizbeth 

size 40 Golden Honey(limited edition) 

and brown glass seed beads.

This is a dark Chevron Amethyst stone. 

I love the deep dark purple(very hard to 

photograph for an amateur).  I used 
Lizbeth size 40 Elderberry Jam and dark

 purple metallic seed beads.

This one is a Rose Quartz Tear Drop stone. 

I used Lizbeth size 40 Raspberry Frappe, 

and the chain has pink glass seed beads.

I needed 4 crosses for some very dear ladies I  know. 

I still have to sew in ends as usual, but they are all 

tatted.  First two are Elaine P. Gan's My Portion Cross 

in Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion, and Elaine's Love on High 

Cross in Raspberry Frappe(size 40 of course).

And the next two are Elaine P. Gan's Justification Cross 

in Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and Purple Iris Dk., and the 

next is Mary Konior's Small Cross in Lizbeth Wildflower 

Garden and Snow White(size 40 of course).

Tons more in the works, but nothing near finished!!  ;)
Hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend and 

make sure to get some tatting time in!!  :)

 

Tatting, tatting, lilacs, tatting......

Row 8 of my test tatting doily by Elaine P. Gan is 

done, but with problems which have been "fixed" 

after this picture.  And I am on row 9 now.

My daughter gave me many "stones" for Christmas 

so that I can tat around them.  This one is one of my 

favorites.  It's quartz, but it's the shape of this one 

that intrigues me.  This picture has the best chance 

to see the design.  It is somewhat beveled a straight 

light down the center and a "V" shape at the top and 

at the bottom.  The back side only has a straight line 

down the center.

Tatted with size 40 Lizbeth Coral Pink Dk. and 4mm 

crackle glass beads.

The stone below was the reason I bought this thread. 

I thought it matched somewhat, the color of the stone

(which in the picture looks to me like ground beef). I 

don't know what kind of stone this one is, but I thought 

someone would love it.  Same thread and some beads 

which look black, but in the sun have a bluish tint.

My hubby and I love lilacs, but have never had a 

bush of our own.  Last year he found 2(different 

kinds) for 1/2 off the price and we planted them 

and they survived the year(no flowers), but...it looks 

as though we may actually have lilac flowers this 

year!!!

Since my daughter and I signed up to do another 

craft show again this year(Nov.) I NEED to get a 

stock of things or just help her, but I paid for my 

own space, so I NEED to get to work!!  ;)
So, besides the stone pendants above, I tatted a 

bracelet(as you can see the pendants and bracelet 

all need finishing!!!).  This is what I hope it looks 

like when finished. I used Lizbeth size 40 Black 

and Caribbean thread.  The pattern is an alteration 

of Muskaan's

It's not as I expected, but it's nice and I like it! :)

I hope you have a tatting filled week.  :)
