Ok, I am still tatting along......

Well, now I have a set of earrings.

These are the Egyptian Flowers from Anika at  

http://tattingitup.blogspot.com/2012/12/3-d-flower-earring-pattern-and-golden.html

They are both tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk. with gold bugle beads and seed beads.

And with the second one(not sure which is which now), I made the first ring and slid a bugle bead on with a paperclip to secure it, then slid another bugle bead on with a paperclip to secure it also(one to the left, and one to the right) and then I finished the ring.  Much easier to join at the end!!!!  :)

 And this weekend I tatted this Elaine P. Gan design. 

 Another bracelet-this one Sweet Flowers bracelet.

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Juicy Watermelon(I am sure you all guessed that).  

It's very dainty on the wrist due to how thin it is, but I am sure someone will love it!  :)

Oh, I did block into submission the "secret" doily this morning, but I think I will give it a couple of days to dry thoroughly before I work on it again.

Well....I sat down today and decided exactly which of all the pieces I have wanted to tat, and made a list to cover all for my challenge pieces.  I am hoping to do at least!!!  one a week-no promises, you all know life gets crazy quite often and messes up even the best plans!

But hopefully, you will see me actually finish last year's challenge, and this year too!  :)

Have a great day, lots of housework to do in between tatting!  (wink)

2015 25 Motif Challenge # 11

Another challenge piece done.

I saw these Egyptian Flower Earrings on Anika's blog here:

They were so beautiful I had to try.  

She also has a star, but I need to find the gold ring she has in the center before I can try them. 

This is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk. with gold bugle beads and seed beads.

This might look simple, but after I thought I had it figured out and had tatted all the way to the last center bead, I had to use a lot of brain power to figure out how to make the last join.  I am hoping to do this again trying it a different way for that last join and seeing if it works.

And I can't wait to be able to make the stars!!  :)

Hope you have an awesome day and some tatting time too!!!  :)
