Getting some crafting time in here and there

I am working on lots of things when crafting 
lately.  I am working to get my Triangle Triangle 
Insert done....one triangle at a time.
I thought at this point if it was green it would 
be a Christmas tree. ;)
Lizbeth size 40 Orange Crush and Pineapple 
Parfait. My own design.

And a motif at a time added to my tablecloth. The 
lower part is where I am currently working-only 3 
motifs needed on the left to finish this row. An 
antique motif and my design.

And, I started a Christmas present for our 100 yr. old. 
Hopefully it will be a beautiful collar when finished!

I was given the pattern for this January doily
from Frywolitki - Magic Shuttles on Facebook. 
 I made it for a friend who hasn't been 
feeling well for over a month. She loves it!!
 
I used Lizbeth size 40Leaf Green Dk., Leaf Swirl,
and Latte Foam.



I tatted Mary Konior's Small Cross for a senior 
lady.  Size 40 Lizbeth Angel's Love.

I had a senior ask me to make her a yellow rose with 
black background keychain in plastic canvas.  She 
loves it(she is from Texas). ;)
I have also made 2 more name signs, but not as 
fancy as the butterfly one.

I am learning micro-macrame and enjoying it, but 
not as much as tatting!!!  Lots of threads and no 
shuttles to "do the work". ;)
This is the first fancy bracelet I made.
This one is in 1mm waxed cord.

Yesterday I made my 2nd fancy micro-macrame 
bracelet.  This one is in 0.5mm waxed cord.
I only have 2 colors of cord in each size so this 
is what I ended up with.  Still a LONG way to 
go in my learning!!

I hope you are all enjoying tatting and crafting 
time!!!  :)

Tatting and "new to me" Micro-macrame

I tatted a large Ice Drop and turned it into a 
suncatcher for me.
I love being able to see the glitter through the gem.
I tatted another Ice Drop still trying to empty shuttles.
And, another.  I now have 6 empty shuttles-Yay!!!  :D
Below is the first actual micro-macrame project I 
completed.  I used a 1mm cotton cord and found out 
it need to be a waxed cord which is much smaller, but 
I like it for a first.  ;)
And back to tatting, I am tatting a doily designed by 
Elzbieta Jurzysta.  I am hoping it will cheer a friend 
who hasn't been feeling well for about 2 months.
And below is where I am at on the doily now.
And, I am making little bits of progress on my 
Multi-Triangle Triangle.  It will be for the side of 
another shirt(similar to the pink one).  One triangle 
at a time.
And below is lesson 3 of my Micro-Macrame
learning and I completed a necklace today.
My "teacher" is  Andrea Rau.  Here is the 
link to her tutorial for this necklace:

Hope you are having a great day and getting 
some tatting, and maybe some other projects 
in!! :)

2 Ice Drops

 I haven't been tatting much and needed a bit of 
quick tatting to get inspired.  So, I tatted Ice Drops. 
The first center gem has a mirrored pearl look light 
blue color which looks fantastic with Lizbeth Arctic 
Blues in size 40.  No pattern, I just tatted.  ;)

The second has a mirrored clear green center gem 
which looks great with Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus 
in size 40.  Again, no pattern, just tatting.  This one 
wasn't finished until it was dark out so the picture 
does not do it justice, it's beautiful!! ;)
I hope you all have a wonderful tatting filled weekend. 
Tollway Tatters, I hope to see you online!! :)
