A little random tatting....

I had thought about using some of the Christmas buttons 
on a garland, but hadn't decided on the tatted garland 
design.  Well...last night while sitting and watching a 
Christmas movies(of course!!!), I decided just to try one 
of two that I was deciding between.  It's Mary Konior's 
Three Blind Mice from the book Tatting Patterns. Tatted 
in size 20 Lizbeth Snow White.
Last night and a bit early this afternoon and it was  the 
length of a folder.  I figured it was going to be too small 
and would end up on a tabletop tree.
Close-up below.
And, a little more time and just checking to see what it 
will look like on a large tree(6ft).  I think it will stand 
out nicely!!!  :)  So, on with more tatting and buttons 
to see how long it will get.  ;)

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

Almost ready for the craft shows

I ended up with a total of 33 Pop Top Ice Drop 
ornaments:
Winnie the Pooh and Friends.
Peanuts characters.
Frosty the Snowman.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and characters from
the movie.
And 17 tatted Christmas button ornaments.
Now the hard work begins.  Figuring out 
how to display everything, packing everything,
and then transporting and setting up.
Thankfully I have 3 weeks from this Saturday. 
I am trying to make sure I can get it all done 
without waiting and stressing!  ;)
Have a fabulous tatting filled rest of your week!!  :)

Last one

 I believe I have a total of 31 Pop Top Ice Drop
ornaments for our craft show, which has now 
become 2 craft shows.

I am busy sewing in ends.  When I am done I hope 
to remember to take a picture of all of them.
If my count is correct, I actually tatted 33, but 2 
were claimed by people who love them so I set them 
aside for them.
I have 5 weeks from this Saturday until the first 
craft show, so if I get all the ends sewn in and my 
stuff prepared for the show, if there is any time left 
I plan on working on button ornaments.
Have a wonderful weekend, and make some tatting 
time!!! :)

More ornaments and finished necklaces

Another Winnie the Pooh and friends in size 20 
thread.

Another Tigger and Pooh in size 40 thread.

And 3 necklaces finally finished.  I had tatted 
around the stones quite some time ago and needed 
chains.  I found all 3 of these and they go perfectly.
The only thing is they are too long or too short.  ;) 

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)
