Oh my goodness!

I have tons of catching up to do on reading the blogs!!! I spent the weekend entertaining my 3yr. old granddaughter and that kept me more than busy!!!
I have been asked what I would do with my butterflies
(Mary's Butterflies: http://www.scribd.com/doc/69945786/My-Butterfly )
I have explained that they could go on lots of things, but here is what I have done so far.
The first is the Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy size 40 butterfly on a pink stretchy headband,
the second is Heather's(The Tarnished Tatter)HDT Harvest Time size 30 on a brown stretchy headband,
the third is Tatskool's Rainbow Bright size 100 on a white stretchy headband,
and then I have 2 done in YarnPlayers Corsage(one I goofed, but made it work),
and one extra Rainbow bright. And size comparisons for those curious. :)
The first headband is already sold and gone to my friend for her great niece. :)

Triangle hexagon

I love the way this is turning out! I may have to get more thread if there is any chance I want to make it bigger(and of course there is a BIG chance I want it bigger!). It is really amazing me what I will be able to do with this pattern. As I tat I keep seeing all kinds of neat stuff(which you may see in the future).

Below is a size comparison incase you decide to try it. This is Mary Konior's Spinning Wheel Glass Mat done in Lizbeth Royal Wave size 20 next to 24 triangles all connected from the DMC Library Tatting from the antique pattern library. It's PLATE IV. #23 done in Heather's(The Tarnished Tatter) HDT Harvest Time size 30. I love the autumn look and would love something quite large done in it(this may end up large if I have my way).

I may not be posting before the 2nd week of Nov. I will be busy on ministry weekends(this weekend and next) and there won't be much tatting time.
Have a great couple of weeks! :)

25 #2 Motif # 15 Diamond Triangles

I received this beautiful thread from Heather(The Tarnished Tatter). It's her HDT Harvest Time size 30. I really wanted something that would show off the beauty in the colors so I tatted this antique pattern. It's from the DMC Library Tatting from the antique pattern library. It's PLATE IV. #23. They have it in triangles, but I joined the triangles closely so that I could see as much color together as possible. I am hoping to join more and make a small doily.
