Another Frosty the Snowman Pop Top Drop

I love this one and it's mine.  I don't think I will 

tat another!!
Jean Inglis created the outer design for an Ice Drop 

and the pattern is in the Files in Ice Drop Addicts 

on facebook.  Her design actually has 2 rows and 

it's called Wee Snowballs.

I figured it had to be tatted for Frosty cuz' snowmen 

are made from snowballs.

I don't plan on doing another cuz' these are the best 

Josephine Knots that I have ever done and I don't 

want to do anymore!!!

Hope you are all having a tatting filled week!! :)

 

Can you tell...

what I have been practicing??
Yep, Josephine knots.  I think most of these have 

turned out far better than any I have ever done. 

There are a few scrappers, but I am pleased!!  I 

have a pattern I want to do which uses lots of 

Josephine knots and I want them to look good 

or just not tat the project!!  ;)

And, this week I received this wonderful book!!!

I have been watching it forever on my Amazon 

account and a week or so ago I saw it very reasonably 

priced and got it!  So, now I have 3 Mary Konior 

tatting books!!  :)  And one pattern has my attention, 

so you might see it sometime soon.  ;)

Hope your weekend has been going well!
I have had a great Saturday so far!!  We had 

another small Christmas and gave and received 

some gifts.  Here is our treasure:  A lighted church.

My best friend, Peggy's, sister and brother-in-law 

make and sell these gorgeous churches.  This is one 

of her small ones, and she has large ones too. 

Very beautifully decorated.

And, "stained" glass windows.

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, 

and get some tatting time in!  ;)

 

My Christmas doily progress

Well, I have gotten some tatting done.
I will post all the info on this doily when done 

so I don't have to carry the book and such to my 

computer(still having troubles getting around).
I am using size 10 Lizbeth Christmas specialty 

pack I purchased quite some time ago.

I am trying to include all the colors(5).

I believe the next row will take forever because it 

looks like you tat what would be 5 or 6 rows  out-

ward and then come back to the doily and do it 

over and over.  We shall see when I get to the 

directions(hopefully I get them right!!!).

I hope you are having a great week and getting 

some tatting in!! :)

 

Pop Top Drop #4

2 views same drop.
I wasn't sure what to do for this one, but had 

some thoughts and just tatted.  I like it, but I 

don't love it.  I think the outer chains need to 

have a few more stitches to look nicer, but 

it's done for now.  ;)

Again tatted in size 40 Lizbeth(light blue).

I thought I would do so much more tatting sitting, 

but pain is distracting and has kept me from even 

sleeping well, so tatting gets done from time to time 

just like everything else.
Hope you are having a fabulous weekend with 

tatting!!! :)

 

Enjoying Pop Top Ice Drops!!!

I tatted another pop top drop ornament. It's a bit ruffly

and will need to be blocked(flattened), but I like it!

Still working on healing and tatting. One more 

pop top in this set to tat.  

Hope your new year is starting well and giving 

you tatting time!!! :)
