Round 10 of Renulek's Spring Doily done

Well, I made it before the next round is out!

Hope you all had a great weekend with lots of 

tatting, and that this week is filled with tatting!! :)

 

Christmas doily continues! And Large Rainbow Suncatcher update

I have the red section done!  Seems like it took 

forever!!!  ;)  And looking back at my blog it looks 

as though I started the red around Feb. 1 which tells 

me that it took about 2 months, but I tatted lots of 

side projects too!  ;)
Again, this is tatted in size 10 Lizbeth Christmas 

Specialty pack.  And it measures about 20 inches 

across.  One more round to go, but it's another one 

that is like tatting 2 or 3 rows at the same time.  I 

am sure it will be wider than this table when done. 

And I will have to block it into submission if the 

next round doesn't flatten it out!!!

I just finished the tatting part of this large Rainbow 

Suncatcher.  If I do anymore tatting today, I think 

it will be on the tablecloth and then tomorrow the 

Spring doily.  ;)

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

 

Some updates

Here is what I worked on this weekend.

I tatted a "chain" for the mermaid pendant and

added beads to imitate bubbles.

I did a zig zag chain(3 first half stitches

and then 3 second half stitches) and I

added some beads our daughter got

that resemble bubble and match the

thread perfectly.

My Christmas doily has about 5 hours more work on this

round. I timed myself tatting one section up and it

takes me a 1/2 hour and then another 1/2 hour down,

so that is how I have estimated my hours to finish this

round. ;)

My Spring doily continues to grow one week at a time.

I also tatted another round on my rainbow suncatcher. Only 2 rows of red left to tat with a total of 288 beads

in just those 2 finishing rows(I already have them

strung and ready to tat!!) ;)

I hope you have a tatting filled week and lots

of joy!!! :)

 

Saturday tatting!! :)

Round 7 of Renulek's Spring Doily done and I am 

prepared for round 8 and ready to start it.

Our mermaid daughter is creating lots of mermaid 

items and this cute piece wasn't her favorite due to 

a few flaws, but I told her if I added tatting the flaws 

might not be as noticeable.  So, here is the first of a 

few that will be making appearances.  ;)

I also sewed in lots of ends on Pop Top  Drops, 

snowflakes, and Button ornaments.  So now 

they can all finally be put away!  ;)
Hope you have gotten tatting in today!! 

Have a blessed Sunday!! :)

 

Denise's Test Tatted Snowflake

Denise is my tatting friend from Tollway 

Tatters.  She volunteered to test tat my 

snowflake pattern.  She tatted in size 20 

and her snowflake is 5 1/2 inches across.
She did an awesome job and helped me 

a lot!!

My first and my test tatted flakes are 

both tatted in size 40 and they are 4 1/2 

inches across.
A huge thank you to Denise!!!  :)
Now, I have to figure out the selling 

part.  I have checked out Etsy, but I 

am not sure it would be profitable for 

me, so my daughter is suggesting that 

if someone wants the pattern, I could 

have them send payment to my Paypal account 

and then I e-mail the pattern to them.  If 

you already sell patterns, and have advice 

I am listening and trying to learn quick.  ;)

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!!  :)

 

Inspired by Muskaan 2

Not exactly my thought, but it's still a butterfly

(with a small mistake on the upper left wing).  

I might try again later, but I think it's ok.  ;)

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!! :)

 

Just a little tatting..

Tatting is great, but not when your brain is not 

engaged!!!  Sunday I woke up at 3am, yesterday 

at 5am, and today at 4am and I am NOT a morning 

person!!!
So, tatting has been slow, but some progress has 

been made.  Renulek's Spring Doily has the start 

of round 7.

My suncatcher has the first of 2 green rounds.

My snowflake pattern has been test tatted by me 

and a tatting friend.  She has been a wonderful 

help to make sure it's correct!!

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

 

Inspired by Muskaan!!!

Muskaan designed her Happy Hands Heart and I 

saw it and tatted it.  Well, I used size 40 thread 

and it was tiny, but our 30 yr. old daughter is a 

mermaid and she said the heart looked like a 

mermaid fluke(the end of the tail).  So, inspired 

I have tatted the heart and made my own tail scales.
This is tatted in size 10 HDT.  It needs work, but 

has great possibilities!!! :)

In the picture below it's by one of her hot glue 

mermaid tails.

Well, off to work on more tatting.  I hope your 

day is peaceful and filled with tatting!! :)

 

Tatting along......

Making progress.
Renulek's Spring Doily.

The Christmas Doily.

My tablecloth.

And, my mother-in-law asked me to tat her a 

suncatcher like the one I made her for Christmas-

the large rainbow one.  So, I started it.

And, I just got my Lizbeth Specialty pack I 

just ordered as soon as I saw it online!!

So, I am keeping busy tatting!!!
Hope you are enjoying some tatting too!! :)
