HDT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lord brightened my day by allowing my 2nd 

order(first order is still lost in mail space) of HDT 

to arrive today!!!

These are from AlenAleaDesign on Etsy.

Colors are Magic, Joy, Classic Rainbow, and Bloom.

For anyone who prays, I could use prayers.  I  teach 

the Bible on Sunday mornings outdoors in a poor town 

and this Wednesday afternoon I have to do a funeral
service for one of our teens.  It's been a hard day and 

I am thankful for the cheerful threads!!  Thanks to 

all those who pray for me!!

Have a wonderful day!!! :)

H E L P !!!!!!!!

I am so upset!!!!!!!!!!

I found a mistake 3 rows back and the only thing I 

know to do is cut off the 3 rows and re-tat all 3.

If you look just to the right of the purple clip you will

 see that I joined to a picot when I shouldn't have and 

this has created an extra chain(or arch) that should 

not be there and I am not sure how to correct it.

Hey Experienced Tatters, is there a way to correct this

and the other 2 rows after it so it's correct-without cutting 

and re-tatting??? 

If not, then I will get to cutting.

Hope your Saturday is going well!!! :)

Another Twin Cathedral Doilies update

Here they are again.  Ready for row 30 of 33.

Again, they are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth 

Rainbow Taffy.

They are sitting on a table which is 4ft. by 2ft.

so...they are almost 2ft. wide.

 I wanted a way to set short goals for myself to help 

complete them quicker.  I think I found the right thing 

to help.  These are Stitchpins (Susan Bates brand)-I 

found them at Hobby Lobby and thought they would 

help me.  I didn't know how many chains around the 

rows until I placed these pins every 10 and there are 

96 chains to tat!!!!  But, I try to tat 10 at a time and 

it seems to help me get through it much quicker than

just tatting along.

 Also, I had mentioned that our daughter is part of 

a Pirate Crew and wants to bring things to sell when 

they have a vending event, so to add something to 

tat for change of pace and color I tatted this cuff 

bracelet.  I just made up the design hoping some 

pirate lady will like it for an addition to her costume.

And, I have another in mind.

Hope you have a wonderful day and achieve some 

tatting too!!! :)

Tollway Tatting at home

Well, since I couldn't go to Tollway Tatters  I had 

to find a way to join in from home.  I put on my 

new tie-dye T-shirt 

 and my tatted earrings which go well with the shirt

 and was tatting on one of the twin doilies

I think everyone who wants to join in from home 

can join this way.  Sure, we miss the chatting, but 

we are still a part of it all!! :)

Have a wonderful day filled with tatting!! :)

Hopefully some new sparkle for some new suncatchers!!

I found Crackle Beads on Amazon and thought they 

might bring a great new sparkle for my suncatchers!!

There are fabulous colors and quite the variety!!

 They are glass and that proved to be a tiny problem.

 The 6mm box was broken on one corner and so were 

some of the beads.

 Here is the broken corner.

 Thankfully there was only a spiderweb looking 

crack over the pink ones!!!

Working hard to finish the twin doilies because the 

lady who requested them just had 2 mini strokes and 

she wants to give them to her daughter and I really 

don't want it to be too late!!
So...suncatchers and pretty crackle beads will be 

on hold(possibly until after we move, but I hope 

not!!!  I want to play with the pretty colors!!) :)

Have a wonderful day!!! :)

Tatting goodies!!!

Our daughter needed to get out of the house for a bit 

today so I suggested that we walk through Hobby Lobby 

because we haven't been there since around Christmas.

Well...they had Lizbeth threads for clearance and I spotted 

the size 80 black first, then our daughter spotted 2 of the 

size 3's and I caught the last one.  At those prices I could 

not leave them there!!!  Then I noticed the little pamphlet 

in the center of the picture which has 3 tatting patterns in it 

and it was free.  And then I had to see what was on sale in 

the beads section(TROUBLE!!!).  I found these discs(top 

left side) and the strings of beads.  Now hoping for 

inspiration after we move(not now!!!  although, tempted!!!).

 And, last night I wanted to empty a shuttle(the one used 

for our granddaughter's small doily), and I decided to 

see if there was enough thread to tat the center of the 

doily with beads as another pendant-yep!!  :)

Hope your day is filled with peace and tatting!!! :)

Cathedral Doilies Update

The Twin Cathedral Doilies are ready for row 28 of 33, 

and the multi variegated Cathedral Doily is ready for 

row 30 of 33.

Making progress.  Hoping to have the all done before 

moving, and using them to keep sane during the search.

The Twins are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy, 

and The multi variegated in on Juicy Watermelon as the 

final color choice.

Hope you are having a tatting filled day!!! :)
