I had an idea and wanted to have it for a Christmas
greeting here, but as you can tell it didn't happen.
I wanted to tat my own idea of a wreath.
Here is what I have-I quit and will try to improve
it later!!! It looks ok, but doesn't lay as I want it to.
It's size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Green with 3 different
sized picots randomly tatted along. I wanted the it
to look like pine needles of various sizes. I like the
look but my chains aren't correct, and I should have
had lots more seed beads and in more colors.
The decorations on the wreath came from the package
pictured below. I got it to make earrings out of those
tiny cookie cutters, and I thought those tiny buttons
would be great decorations for the wreath idea-which
as you see I added a bead to the top of for a little sparkle.
I found a small motif I tatted(not sure what it was for)
and thought it would make a great back for an Ice
Drop-yep it does. This is the front using my regular
size 40 stitch count from Diane's basic Ice Drop.
And this is the motif. Pretty huh? I love it!!
I think I might try to figure out the stitch count
and see if I can make others in better colors!!!
Hope you are having a wonderful tatting filled day!! :)

Love the wreath!!
I love your wreath! Maybe it's not quite as you imagined it, but it's great, a wonderful froth of greenery. The ice drop is fun, and red/white are perfect for Christmas.
Thank you both!! :)
I love love love your wreath !!! Whatever you visualized, this does it for me :-)
Thank you muskaan!!! :) It's close, but it really needs better embellishment which I planned, but not well(I don't want to add things on after, I would rather tat them in. ;) And the chains don't lay as well as I want them to, so....I will take time, since it is a good wreath, to work out the fine details. ;)
