Ummmm....I have been tatting....and messing up!!!

Since I keep messing up, I will tell you that I have 

added a few motifs to the tablecloth(and cut a couple 

off after finishing them and noticing the mistakes!).

Today I was looking for cheap wedding decorations 

for a couple getting married after our Sunday morning 

lesson(they are really poor and I thought I would 

try to make their wedding a little brighter), and I 

found these Ice Drop gems in the "wedding" section 

at Walmart. So....I splurged!!!  

 I just had to share this beautiful flower with you!!

I saw it enjoying one of our 92 degree days 

yesterday.  It brightened my day and I hope it 

will yours too!! :)

Have a wonderful day and hopefully some 

tatting too!!!! :)

Some weekend tatting

It was an awesome and very busy weekend, but at 

least I got some tatting time.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

Personal Challenge #12 out of 24 done!!!!

Same pattern as last, but on a red ornament this time.

 Bottom view.

 12 on the stand!!! 12 left to go.

Somehow I lost the picture of just the small 

ornaments, but I think the picture above shows 

them well enough on the top section.

 The group of medium sized ornaments.

 The group of large ornaments.

 The three sizes, large, medium, and small(tatting a 

little loose makes it look larger).

More to get done, but also lots of other things too.

Have a wonderful day and hope you get your 

tatting in!!!!!!  :)

Personal Challenge # 11

This fits one of my medium sized ornaments- approx. 

2 or 2 1/2 inches across.

The pattern is here:  http://koroneczka.pl/     

which is only part of the actual pattern which is here:  

http://koroneczka.pl/  

Side view # 1

 Bottom view.

Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Snow White.  The plan 

was to tat the whole pattern, but the top center 

would not go over the hanger piece on the large 

ornament and with a tiny stretch on the joining 

picots it fit around the medium ornament top. 

Top view(same as bottom).

So....I had to improvise and ended up tatting the 

same top and bottom sections, but I left of the 

thrown rings and joined to them instead.  The 

other problem was that the pattern shows a thrown 

ring with the counts and only 6 picots, but I later 

noticed that there are supposed to be 7 picots 

which would have made joining easier.

Instead, I tatted 11 ds on the chain, joined to 

one of the 2 middle picots, then 2 ds and joined 

to the next middle picot, then 11 ds again.

Next time, there will be 7 picots and the chain 

will be 12 join 12.  :)

 Side view # 2.

So....I am 1 ornament away from 1/2 way through 

this personal challenge.  The  store which I bought 

the stand from would like a picture of the stand 

full of the tatted ornaments-before Christmas, 

so....that is my goal!!! :)

Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

Personal challenge #10 done!

This is the same as the red ornament last time.

Needing to get some crosses done for men, so...

off to tatting work I go!! :)

Have a tat-filled day!!! :)

Next ornament in progress.

I love the look just like this(ok, with the ends 

sewn in) !! :)  This one is obviously in Snow 

White Lizbeth going to go on a red glass 

ornament.  This still needs the outer round, but

I stopped to see if this would fit one of the 

smaller ornaments-I think it will!  :)   So, that 

will be one of my next tries.  ;)

Oh...guess I should say this is the same as the 

one 2 posts ago from yesterday-the red one.

Have a wonderful day with lots of tatting!! :)

First the ornament earlier(last post), now angels!

I tatted 2 of Elaine P. Gan's angels 

today.  They are tatted in size 3 thread 

with an iridescent thread in it.

Displayed on the beautiful scarf our 

daughter knitted for me!!!  Can't wait 

for cooler weather to wear it!!! :)

Have an awesome day, and hopefully 

get some tatting in!! :)

Tatting on glass ornament for my personal challenge

I started on Saturday tatting a snowflake pattern 

which has captured my attention.  It's from this 

link:  http://koroneczka.pl/

This is a view from the side.

 A view from the top. I left the center of the snowflake 

out to fit over the top.

 A view from the bottom-the full snowflake.

I loved tatting the whole design!  It lays beautifully, 

and for some reason I think it's really beautiful!! :)

It is tatted in 4 rows.

Working on angels(one done & one in progress).

Have a fabulous day!!! :)
