A Very Merry Christmas and a great start for my New Year!!

 Here are 3 of my Christmas gifts


All 3 of these have been on my Amazon wish list 
for what seems like forever.
The top on is my 3rd Mary Konior book.  Last 
time I saw it the price was $180 some dollars. 
I just kept watching hoping the price would drop.
Then over a month ago it was at a terrific price 
coming from the UK. It said it was used, it looks new.
  I had no way to track it and thought I wasn't getting it, 
and it came in yesterday.
May your day be blessed with love and tatting!!! :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

 We have no snow so it's not quite Christmas for us,
but we have been blessed with some awesome sunsets!!






My daughter got me these super cute slippers.


I have been doing some tatting, but nothing to show.
And, I am making my own Pop Tops for Pop Top Drop 
Ornaments for next year. Rudolph the 
Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Peanuts Christmas.
So, first assembly and then tatting!!! ;)
Merry Christmas and Happy Tatting New Year!!! :)

Lots of little ornaments

 Tatting along and going to craft shows.
I love tatting around the flattened Pop Tops (bottle 
caps).

I tatted around some teardrop earrings and my 
daughter added angels for me.

Another Pop Top Drop ornament.

I received some small 2 hole buttons from a tatting 
friend and came up with these small ornaments.

Hope you are having a great tatting time!!!  :)

Tatting Christmas Pop Top Drops and Mirror ornaments

 So, I have been tatting along.
I am working on these ornaments
for a couple of crafts shows the next
2 weekends.  I hope they are well liked!
Linda Davies 3D Christmas trees make
nice flat Christmas tree earrings.
All the Pop Top Drops and Mirror ornaments
are tatted with size 20 Lizbeth Snow White
and all have beads.
These first are just cute snowmen.

Next are my Mirror ornaments.  My hubby
saw the gold one and made me make a 2nd
and wants them to be made into earrings (not
for him of course).  ;)
I started with these 3, blue red, and green.
Then, a Christmas color mix, and then silver.
Then gold.
And then Frosty the Snowman Pop Top Drops. I
did tat one with blue beads, but I guess I didn't
take a picture.  Oh well.  ;)
I tatted this one while waiting for the turkey to cook.
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!! :)
Have a great weekend and get some tatting in!! :)

First craft show of 2021 for us

 I didn't prepare for craft shows this year because
I wasn't sure they would happen.  My daughter and I
signed up for 3 this year.
We just did our first Saturday and did pretty well,
especially since the first time we were in this one
we didn't sell anything.
Here are the pictures of our "booth".
This first section is our daughter's mermaid items
and autumn pumpkin decor.

I took the side table since I didn't have much.
They wanted us to have red table cloths which
neither of us like because it's hard to see how
nice things look sitting on red!
We had large hail on the way to the show. It only 
lasted about 10 minutes, but it was quite the heavy
downfall!!!

One of our dear sweet seniors came to me last night
and gave me these beautiful pillow cases.  She thought
they might be tatting.  I know they are not tatting, but
I have no idea what kind of lace this is so I told her I
would ask those who know more than me!!  ;)




I have been tatting!  I have a baby boy suncatcher
almost done, and a winter suncatcher in progress,
plus I have been adding motifs to my tablecloth,
and have Christmas tree earrings that need to be
tatted, and some Pop Top Drop ornaments waiting
to be done also. 
Hope you are all doing well and tatting along!!!
Happy Thanksgiving early since I don't know if
I will post again before then.  ;)

Not for now, but definitely in the future!!

I am working on a baby boy suncatcher and I was
designing the next row, but it looks too pretty for
what I want, so it is a sample for a future project.

Hope you are all enjoying your autumn(for those in the US).
Have a happy tatting filled day!! :)
