Merry Christmas(late) and Happy New Year to you all!!


I am still here and still tatting.  Here are some 
items I had to get done before craft shows and 
Christmas.
This cross ended up at a craft show and was 
purchased very quickly, so next year I will 
have crosses at my craft shows.  ;)
This is My Portion Cross by Elaine P. Gan in 
Lizbeth size 40 Purple Iris Fusion.
My mother-in-law ordered this necklace 
for her apartment manager. Lizbeth size 40 
Arctic Waters.
My mother-in-law also ordered these earrings 
to give to my sister-in-law.  The pattern is 
Yarnplayer's Giddy earrings without the drop 
at the bottom.  My beads were too large a 
size 10mm, but they worked.  I had to stiffen
the lace a bit because it was ruffly. 
Lizbeth size 20 Lilac Dk.
I have a legally blind senior on Sunday 
nights who asked me to make her a bag 
she could wear around her neck to hold 
her lifeline device and her cell phone. 
I did a quick(not so great) job on this, but 
she loves it and is so thankful!!  It has 2 
pockets on each side(1 zippered, and 1 open). 
And I just finished another for another senior 
in a different print.
I am also doing plastic canvas "name tags" 
for seniors now.  I have shown my first, so 
here are the next 2 finished just before Christmas,
and I am already almost finished with another
(picture) to come later.

And, I made coasters for my Bible study group.
All you who sew, cover your eyes.  :)
I found these wonderful fabric squares and 
panels and such for quilting 
all of the ladies love them!! :)
And, these 3 wall hangings will be delivered 
today.  I have never made a wall hanging 
until now.  These are first attempts and ok, but 
not up to my perfectionistic standard(same 
with the coasters above).
Look closely and you will see Tat-a-Renda's 
dragonflies(pattern 
I added Muskaan's flowers(this one is for our 99yr. old).
This one has hearts, but I don't have all the 
designers right now, I tatted them earlier in 
the year.
So, you see I have been a little busy.  ;)
I hope you all have a very happy and blessed 
New Year, and get lots of tatting and crafting in!! :)
