Tatting, tatting, lilacs, tatting......

Row 8 of my test tatting doily by Elaine P. Gan is 

done, but with problems which have been "fixed" 

after this picture.  And I am on row 9 now.

My daughter gave me many "stones" for Christmas 

so that I can tat around them.  This one is one of my 

favorites.  It's quartz, but it's the shape of this one 

that intrigues me.  This picture has the best chance 

to see the design.  It is somewhat beveled a straight 

light down the center and a "V" shape at the top and 

at the bottom.  The back side only has a straight line 

down the center.

Tatted with size 40 Lizbeth Coral Pink Dk. and 4mm 

crackle glass beads.

The stone below was the reason I bought this thread. 

I thought it matched somewhat, the color of the stone

(which in the picture looks to me like ground beef). I 

don't know what kind of stone this one is, but I thought 

someone would love it.  Same thread and some beads 

which look black, but in the sun have a bluish tint.

My hubby and I love lilacs, but have never had a 

bush of our own.  Last year he found 2(different 

kinds) for 1/2 off the price and we planted them 

and they survived the year(no flowers), but...it looks 

as though we may actually have lilac flowers this 

year!!!

Since my daughter and I signed up to do another 

craft show again this year(Nov.) I NEED to get a 

stock of things or just help her, but I paid for my 

own space, so I NEED to get to work!!  ;)
So, besides the stone pendants above, I tatted a 

bracelet(as you can see the pendants and bracelet 

all need finishing!!!).  This is what I hope it looks 

like when finished. I used Lizbeth size 40 Black 

and Caribbean thread.  The pattern is an alteration 

of Muskaan's

It's not as I expected, but it's nice and I like it! :)

I hope you have a tatting filled week.  :)

 

Tatting......

 Yep, that is what I am doing.  ;)

Oh, I saw this online and do you see what 
I see on the top center of the flower???

It LOOKS like picots of tatted lace!!

That caught my attention and I had to share!!

And row 7 of 9 on my test tatting doily is done.
I have started row 8, but it's slow going.

And, now looking at this picture from a distance 

it looks like the pinks make a smiley face in the 

center of the doily.  :)

I finished the row I was working on on my Large 

Triangle Insert and there are 2 more to go.

And I tatted a cross for a lady who said 

light blue is her favorite color.  So I used 

size 40 Lizbeth Niagara Falls.

It's Elaine P. Gan's Elpis Cross.

Well, have a wonderful weekend and 

get your tatting time in!!  ;)  :)
