So tempted!!!

 I gave in and started a new project!!!!
I have several pages in the Doily books marked and 
and I gave in and started one, but....I didn't tat the 
whole doily because I love it just like this(well, I 
HAVE to sew in ends yet!!).  ;)
This is Anya Doily 1 from Lovely
Tatting Doilies for Fall and Winter.
I only tatted 8 of the 12 rows, and I didn't 
use split rings to climb out because I wanted 
rings a solid color and chains variegated.
I had this Fun in the Sun HDT from Custom 
Cotton Etc on Etsy in size 10(the pattern calls 
for size 30), and the only solid to go with it I 
had in size 20 Lizbeth Azalea Med. which I 
used 2 strands to make it close to size 10.
I love it!!!  :)

During the Christmas weekend I tatted Jennifer Williams 
Flower motif using overlapped picots(aka Ikuta picots).
I used size 20 Lizbeth Snow White and Christmas Red, and 

I made mistakes in the overlapping, but it still looks ok.

I also received my Pop Tops and Epoxy domes, 

and I downloaded my images I purchased and I 

got busy and now I have plenty of Pop Tops ready 

to become Pop Top Drop ornaments for next year!!

And, I bought these gorgeous Solar Quartz cabochons 

I purchased to tat around.  I CAN'T wait to start using 

them!!! ;) I bought them off Etsy for those who are curious.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

A Very Merry Christmas and a great start for my New Year!!

 Here are 3 of my Christmas gifts

All 3 of these have been on my Amazon wish list 

for what seems like forever.
The top on is my 3rd Mary Konior book.  Last 

time I saw it the price was $180 some dollars. 

I just kept watching hoping the price would drop.

Then over a month ago it was at a terrific price 

coming from the UK. It said it was used, it looks new.

  I had no way to track it and thought I wasn't getting it, 

and it came in yesterday.

May your day be blessed with love and tatting!!! :)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

 We have no snow so it's not quite Christmas for us,
but we have been blessed with some awesome sunsets!!

My daughter got me these super cute slippers.

I have been doing some tatting, but nothing to show.
And, I am making my own Pop Tops for Pop Top Drop 

Ornaments for next year. Rudolph the 

Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Peanuts Christmas.
So, first assembly and then tatting!!! ;)

Merry Christmas and Happy Tatting New Year!!! :)

Lots of little ornaments

 Tatting along and going to craft shows.
I love tatting around the flattened Pop Tops (bottle 
caps).

I tatted around some teardrop earrings and my 

daughter added angels for me.

Another Pop Top Drop ornament.

I received some small 2 hole buttons from a tatting 

friend and came up with these small ornaments.

Hope you are having a great tatting time!!!  :)
