Progress and a surprise

I finished 2 angels and a pair of Small Maple Leaf 

earrings this weekend.  Lots more to get ready for 

Craft Show on Dec. 1.

 And the surprise was for me yesterday.  I went to 

our Sunday night church and my in-laws said they 

had something for me.  It was actually from their 

apartment complex manager.  She knew I do tatting 

because she has one of the crosses I tatted, and she 

told them she was going through some books and 

found this and knew that it was for me.  Wow!!!

I have the shuttles and now the book!

Busy working on about 3 projects at the same

time so...off the computer and back to work!

Have a wonderful day and get some tatting in!  :)

Post #1 Pink Firm Foundation Cross

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.

It's only about 2 inches tall.

It is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Pink Blossoms.

Just before the Craft Show I was busy trying 

to get some of Yarnplayer's Small Maple Leaf 

earrings done.  I made some for our daughter 

quite some time ago and she gets constant 

compliments on them.

I thought some ladies might prefer a golden 

leaf, but no one seemed to want them.

They are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Honey Drizzle.

 I also tatted them in my favorite Lizbeth Autumn 

Spice(size 40), and both pairs sold quickly.

The picture below shows that Lizbeth size 40 

tats up to the size in the pictures on the pattern.

 And, today I tatted them in size 40 Lizbeth Falling 

Leaves.  Lots more tatting to get done!!!

I want to play with some of my new colors 

of thread, but....important things have to 

be done first....hmmmm...maybe something 

needs to be tatted in one of the new colors(wink).

Have a great day and get your tatting in!!

This was the first of 2 posts, but Blogger 

switched the order so don't miss the post 

before it.  ;)

Post # 2 A white angel with blue beads

Love this angel!! :)  Prettier in person!

Size 40 Lizbeth Snow White with blue 

beads.  Larger beads than the Christmas 

Angel.

I also got 1 Small Maple Leaf earring done, 

and 2 angel wing centers done and ready 

for the final row before starting the 

bodies(skirts).

Have a wonderful day of tatting!! :)

A Christmas Angel

 I wanted to add beads to an angel and I 

thought I would start with Christmas 

colors.

I love it more now that it's done!!

When I had just the wings done it looked 

ok, but wasn't really inspiring me, but 

now I think it looks great!! :)

I love beads that you can see through!

I am working on the pink cross and then 

I want to start an angel with blue beads.

So many things I want to get done, but I 

am not able to do as much as I want.

Have a wonderful day and try to work 

on some tatting too!! :)

Oct. Tollway Tatters

We started off with a pretty good group.....

 And grew....

 Lots of tatting, chatting and goodies!!

Nancy brought these really neat zipper bags with 

the little bottle of beads, and the snowflake and 

elf charms, and the Ice Drop gems.  And Diane 

had (part of) her collection of decorated bottle caps 

and let us purchase some.  I love the Santas!!! :)

 And we continued to grow!!

There were 11 of us in total!!! :)

And while we were there the ventilation fans quit 

working so they opened the doors and left them open 

and froze us(ok, chilled a LOT!!).

And it started snowing, then lots and lots of snow 

like sheets and the wind was so strong the snow 

was going sideways.

 Last week I thought I would try and tat some of 

my dreamcatcher earrings, but I can no longer 

get my hammered hoop earrings so, I found these 

which are similar, but they have smooth edges and 

I had to guess where to make my picots, and I 

guessed wrong.  Oh well, our daughter calls it an 

autumn spiral.  ;)

 And, yesterday I remembered I needed a cross 

for one of our newest Sunday night seniors.  Her 

favorite color is yellow and so I tatted this cross 

for her in Lizbeth size 40 Pineapple Parfait. 

The pattern is Christina from Tatted Bookmarks 

- cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn.

I now have a pink cross needed for another 

senior so I will work on that this week, while 

trying to "build" up my stock for the next 

Craft Show.

Have an awesomely wonderful day, and 

I hope you get your tatting in too!! :)

A Purple Angel

At the Craft Show a lady asked if I had a purple angel 

and I said no I don't, but I can make one.  She said ok, 

and ordered 2 Blue Ice Angels also.

I had to order the Lizbeth size 80 Purple Iris Fusion 

thread and it made it here in record time, so I got busy 

and tatted her purple angel.  Her order is ready and 

waiting for her.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

Super Excited!!!!!!!!!!

I have just been accepted into another Craft Show for this year!!

Sat. Dec. 1.  This one is already established and according to the 

info. last year they had so many vendors that it was crowded, so 

I am expecting this one to be huge!!!

I have to get super busy with angels and whatever else I think will

sell. I think it will be hard to sleep tonight.

Have a blessed night!!!  :)

First Craft Show done

Well, we made it through our first Craft Show.

The Craft Show itself was a first also so it wasn't 

as big as many had hoped, but I am ok with that.

Here is our front display table.

 Below is our side table(luckily there was room).
Our friend does knitting and she brought some, 

another friend makes wooden keepsake boxes, 

and our daughter brought some of her books.
Oh, and the rack was large enough to display 

a Christmas wreath on each side(the blue one 

sold).

 And, we had the only touch of Christmas 

I saw, but it was the best way to display 

the tatted angels and Christmas Ice Drops.
Since we didn't figure on having electricity 

we used battery powered fairy lights.

For a double first I think we did well.

Hope you had a fabulous weekend and 

got your tatting in!!! :)

Now back to tatting work because I also 

received an order for 3 angels(one of 

which I had to order the thread this morning 

because she wants a purple angel.

Large Rainbow Cathedral Doily Suncatcher done

Finally!!!!

The design is Elaine P. Gan's Cathedral 

Doily.

 I wanted a rainbow suncatcher and here it is!

It's in an 8in. ring.

 I used all Lizbeth size 40 thread. 

The colors are:  Christmas Red, Bright Orange,

Bright Yellow, Christmas Green,

Bright Blue Dk., and Purple Dk.

And lots and lots of 11/0 Preciosa Ornela glass beads.

This one is so fabulous!!  I just love how it turned 

out!!  Thank you to Elaine for her beautiful designs!!

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!! :)
