3 Crosses and 3 slab pies

I needed 3 more crosses for some "new" 

seniors who have joined us on Sunday nights.

First is Mercy cross from Elaine P. Gan in 

size 20 Lizbeth Black.

 Next is Maria cross from Tatted Bookmarks 

cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn in size 40 

Lizbeth Caribbean.

 Last is Eternal Love cross from Elaine P. Gan 

in size 40 Lizbeth Pink Blossoms.

And, while trying to get those finished I made 

3 slab pies(my first ever).

Apple Snowflake

 Blueberry Christmas Tree

 Cherry Bells

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday!!! :)

Tatting here, Tatting there.....

Tatting, tatting everywhere!!!!
Ok, so I am back into tatting!!!
I started last night while "in" the Online Tatting 

Design Class, working on my design project at my 

computer desk(it was a change since I tat sitting on 

the floor).  ;)
Info for this project will come later.

 I also have several tatting supplies next to the couch...

 and at the other end of the couch...

 and last night I added more to the everywhere which 

is right in front of the Christmas tree.
I need 3 crosses for seniors on Sunday nights.  I ask 

them their favorite color and do my best to surprise 

them with a cross in a variegated thread with that 

color, but this is a first-one man's favorite color is 

black(small cross on the right side near the tree 

skirt).  ;)  I have a pink cross and a blue cross to 

tat next.

 I love "tatted" shadows!!!  This is a clear glass 

ornament tatted in Lizbeth Christmas Delight.  I 

was tatting by cell phone flashlight when I noticed 

this fabulous shadow!!  ;)

 And this pretty shadow of a metal snowflake 

ornament I have.  I think some day I may try to 

tat that whole design.  ;)

Well, got lots to do today, so have a wonderful day 

and get some tatting in, maybe even some 

everywhere!!! :)

Tatting Books, Craft Show, teen girls

Saturday was the last craft show for this year for me.

I had my friend, Peggy, join me.  She knits dishcloths

with pictures or patterns, and scarves, and she crochets 

towel tops, and even knits some patterned dishcloths 

to match some of the towels for a set.

Next, was my friend, Mary Anne(said more like Marianna),

who makes these adorable dolls, and "doll" jewelry stands.

Of course I was there...

 And our daughter, Sarah, joined me again.  She had 

some of her Christmas wreaths and a few autumn 

centerpieces along.

 A lady came by our booth last year and said she 

wished she had known I would be there with tatting 

because she had some tatting books and would have 

given them to me.  Well, at the craft show a lady came 

by and said "I have something for you."  And I said, 

you do??  and she said "I saw you last year and told 

you I have tatting books and that I would have given 

them to you.  I have them out in my car and will get 

them after seeing what else is here."  I was shocked 

when she came back with an arm load of books!!!
This is the whole pile spread out.

 I have all the ones in the picture below already, so 

these will go to help other tatters.

 I don't have these below, so they will hang around.

 Our older granddaughter and her best friend came and 

spent the weekend entertaining us and helping with the 

craft show.  I was serenaded by a flute duet, and had 

wresting, tickling, and handshake matches going on. 

Lots of fun and cocoa!!!!!

It was a very busy and eventful weekend!!!

Hope you had a great weekend filled with lots of

love and tatting!!! :)

FINALLY Tatting to show(just one)

I actually tatted last night while watching 

a new Hallmark movie.

This is Camilla from the book Tatted Bookmarks
- cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn.

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus.

It's for another one of our Sunday night seniors.

Still settling into the new house and probably 

will until next year some time.  I have a ton 

of stuff!!!  ;)

Have a fabulous tatting time!!!  :)

In the new house, and.....

Some space to live and move, a huge relief from the 

hotel room!!!

No, not done and this isn't finished, just live-able.

 We moved as much as possible Sunday and went 

to bed at 10:30pm with no snow, but woke Monday 

 morning at 8am to 4-6 inches.

 And then woke Tuesday morning at 8am to about 

2 ft. of snow.  The buried vehicle has sat since 

Sunday night when we got here.  the vehicle behind 

has about a foot of snow because hubby got in from 

work at 3am Tues. morning.  It snowed almost all 

day, and I shoved for about an hour and a half while 

hubby slept, but he woke up and had to find a plow 

to clear the drive so he could get to work(the main 

street wasn't even plowed).  He said there was so much 

snow on the road and in the drive that the suburban 

was pushing snow like a plow(and it was stuck in the 

morning and had to get pushed out by the plow).

I tried to open the door and see how deep the snow was 

and it wouldn't go any farther than this,  and when I 

closed it, it brought snow inside.

It looked like we had a 2nd propane tank sitting 

on ours. 

And wow!  Look at all the snow on the air conditioner!! 

 That's me making my way through knee deep snow to 

try and clean off the vehicles so that we could TRY 

and move them for the plow to clear the driveway.

Hopefully soon I will have tatting to show, but first 

I NEED to make sure to find a place for most if not 

everything!!!!  ;)
Happy Tatting!!!  :)

Housing update:

Ok everyone, it's insanity time!!!

Looks like we might be moving on Sunday.
We are waiting for the certificate of occupancy.

As you can see in the pictures they have work left 

to finish, but we are being told we might be moving 

this weekend, but....I have a craft show Saturday.
First picture, the livingroom.

 Second picture the kitchen(slight view of the  

familyroom off to the right).

Next picture is the design piece I am working on for 

the Online Tatting Design Class-will be a large 

tatted suncatcher-beads will be added when I tat 

it all over, I am just designing first(in size 3 thread).

 Next, I got our daughter started in crafting about 2 

months ago and she has really gone crazy and created 

a pumpkin patch to sell, and other items I have 

previously shown.  Well, I took my hand at it and 

made this candy cane "wreath" last night.  I love 

it!!!

 Below is a close-up to show the adorable 

snowmen(my favorite), and I have an 

order for one already(beside I want one!).

 Our daughter created this lighted wall pumpkin.
It's not lit in this picture, but it looks great both 

lit and unlit. It's more of a contemporary style-

not my thing, but it does look great!

 Just letting you know that I am not sure when I will 

be back online.  The internet is supposed to be installed 

on Monday, but....so far nothing has happened 

when it was supposed to, so I am prepared to 

be offline for up to 2 weeks, so you maybe 

not hear from me(plus moving takes tons of 

time), or you may get a surprise!

Happy tatting!!!  :)
Thanks for all the prayers and encouragement!!!

Working on tatting

Well, I thought I was doing pretty good, half way around 

but the ruffling is way too much!!
This is in Lizbeth size 3 Snow White.

So I started to cut it off, but then snipped a thread 

from the previous row and had no way to fix it, and 

since that row had a continuous mistake in it, I figured 

it was meant to be, so two rows to start over.

 Today I needed a change so I decided to tat an Ice Drop.
Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Coral Splash.  Just made up 

the design as I tatted.

For those who are wondering, nope, not in the house 

yet.
Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)
