Tatting on.......

It's very dark gray and snowy around here today 
so...since the lighting was as bad as last night I 
used flash and zoom to show the progress.
Yesterday it was almost 70 degrees F. here and today 
it's in the 20's and 30's and snowing(which is ok with 
me-great excuse to stay inside and tat!!!).
I hope you are all having a great Saturday and 
getting some tatting in!!!  :)

Making tiny bits of progress and am happy with the fix

Bad lighting!!!  It's dark and rainy out and there is 
no natural light, but the flash was too bright, so...
we are just going with this picture for now.  
Happy tatting and I will try to get more done 
tomorrow!!!  :)

Missed mistake??????

Oh, just so everyone knows, no one has notified me of my mistake!!!!  I found it yesterday morning while I was not able to be on the internet because it wasn't working.  Carefully look at the last repeat!  I sat to tat some more yesterday and realized in the morning that I made a mistake and switched shuttles without noticing.  Well, the scissors met the doily and the surgery seems to have went well.
  Have a great day and hopefully tonight I will post an updated picture!!  :)

Hmmm.... think the snails have passed me already

Well....I haven't gotten any tatting done until today,
and I actually got 3 more repeats done(if you look 
closely at the bottom of the picture you will see the 
tip of a shuttle marking the first one tatted today.
Life, financial struggles, and holiday preparations 
are really delaying this.  I am really looking forward 
to when it's complete so I can say I got it done!!!
I am hoping to have some time this Saturday to tat 
since we have no plans and the weather people are 
saying it's going to snow some, and I am hoping to 
have time on Thanksgiving Day since we are not 
having everyone over this year due to the finances. 
Hope you are having a wonderful tatting time!!!  :)

there has been progress!!!  :)
Happy tatting!!!

Tiny bits of tatting

Ok, only 3 repeats have been achieved so far.  At 
this rate Fox will catch up and pass me!  :)
Here's a view of most of the doily. 
 A lady in our Sunday morning group picked out a 
pair of donut earrings for her youngest daughter, 
but the sweet angel says she doesn't like to wear 
earrings even though her ears are pierced so, I told 
her I could put the donuts on a bracelet for her and 
she was very excited.  I went with a simple ring 
and chain design, and although the colors are not 
something I would normally choose, I figured a 5 
or 6 year old would love it more!  
  It's small and I made it so the lobster claw clasp 
can hook into any of those rings so she can grow 
into it.  :)  
So you see that I have been tatting like a turtle, 
but still tatting!
Happy tatting and have a wonderful day!!!!  :)

A little tatting

Ok, I have done some tatting and have missed getting 
a picture and posting some too.
I had a request for some green dreamcatcher earrings 
which got tatted and delivered already, and then a 
request for a rainbow pair for someone else, which 
I did get a picture of here:
These are my dreamcatcher earrings pattern 
tatted in size 40 Tatskool Rainbow Bright HDT.
Also, I have 2 repeats done on the final round of the 
Spring Doily.  And, working on Christmas Secrets too.
Hope you are having a wonderful tatting time!!!  :)
