I am using up some size 10 thread (Artiste- from Hobby Lobby).
I am making crosses for volunteers at a local food pantry.
Most are Elaine P. Gan designs.
Tatted Christmas tree earrings for this year's craft show(s).
Same pattern I have used before, but with variegated greens.
The cross below is my own design. I wanted to empty
shuttles and just sat down and started tatting.
The cross below is an Elaine P. Gan design, if you look
at it and then my "emptying shuttles" cross I think this
one inspired mine. I must have looked at the pattern
before emptying my shuttles. ;)
Next, I am still working with plastic canvas. I really like it!!
I am making birdhouse tissue covers for table centerpieces for
our Sunday night group(hope to have them done by summer).
My first one is done. It is a Mary Maxim kit, but I altered it a
bit. First, I didn't add the lace looking roof trim(too much work).
Second, I forgot the little touch of blue on the bird wing(oh well).
Third, the flowers.....I did a little of their french knot flowers which
resemble lilacs to me(in pink), but I added tatted "flowers" and have
lots of plastic canvas crafters really liking them, and a couple said
they have tatted or have tatting supplies. ;)
Oh, and I added a tatted butterfly. :)
So, I am tatting, and crafting. I have been busy with
ministry things and haven't posted much, but I think
this makes up for it. ;)
Happy tatting everyone!!! :)
