What I tatted last week

Continuing with Pop Top Ice Drop ornaments.
3 more and I will have 30 for the craft show.

And a button ornament.

Have a terrific week of tatting!!! :)

 

Hmmmm...I thought I had posted these, but I guess I didn't.

Continuing on with Pop Top Ice Drop ornaments.
These aren't traditional Christmas colors, but I think 
they are great first ornaments and they will go well 

with multicolored Christmas lights or even white lights.

This one below just had to show off Rudolph's nose!!  :)

Below is the center of one of my Christmas button ornaments. 
For those who wonder what they look like before the button.
This one is different from all the others because it's tatted in 
size 40 and all the rest have been tatted in size 20.  Also, I 

did the beads a bit different, but I love the effect and, you 
will soon see that this one gave me an idea and will be used 
just a bit differently than a button ornament, and hopefully 
I will tat one as a button ornament.  ;)  I love how this looks 
even without anything else!!! :)

Have a great tatting filled day!!! :)

 

More tatted Pop Top Ice Drop ornaments and Christmas Button ornaments, and Angel earrings with tatting

These first 4 were completed this weekend and the 
pink finished this morning.

All 3 Pop Top ornaments are in size 40 thread.

These angel earrings are tatted with size 40 Lizbeth 
Cranberry bush.  I wanted a pair with Christmas 
colors.

The gingerbread man will remain with me, and a 

friend loves the Christmas tree with the reindeer so 

you know where that will end up.  ;)

Have a tatting filled week!!! :)

More Pop Top Ice Drop ornaments, a Christmas button ornament and earrings

I am hoping all these characters will bring interest 
and sales!! :)

This would make a wonderful baby girl's first 
Christmas ornament!

Here is the Christmas button ornament-great for 
tabletop trees!

And here are some angel earrings embellished with 

tatting. Size 40 Lizbeth Niagara Falls.

Hope you are tatting along today!! :)

 

Still tatting away more and more Pop Top ornaments

My guess is you might be getting tired of seeing 
these.  But I am really hoping for a good stock, 
for the craft show and for a few other items too!! :)

The one above is tatted in size 20, and the one below 
in size 40.
I had a revelation tatting the 12th one(above).  I don't 

have to cut between rows!!!  All this time I tat the center 
row and then cut and tie and then start row 2(which is 
how I worked while designing it, but when tatting #12 
it occurred to me that I don't need to cut, just continue 
tatting----DUH!!!  So, now I have to train myself not to 
cut after center is done!!  So, I might(MIGHT) move 

quicker now.  ;)

I am also considering straying just a bit while tatting 

these, but we will see if that happens(my mind is off 

wandering).

Have a tatting filled weekend everyone!!! :)
