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!!!  :)

 

Yes, I have been tatting.

My daughter gave me lots of stones to 

tat around and sometimes they really 

inspire me.  This is one of 3 similar 

stones.  They are all the same greenish/

blue.  I like how this turned out!

This is Lizbeth size 40 Countryside with 

clear glass seed beads.  I thought it was 

Blue River Glades(which is set out for 

the next one.)  ;)

This is a Tiger Eye Tear Drop stone.  I 

like these colors for autumn.  Lizbeth 

size 40 Golden Honey(limited edition) 

and brown glass seed beads.

This is a dark Chevron Amethyst stone. 

I love the deep dark purple(very hard to 

photograph for an amateur).  I used 
Lizbeth size 40 Elderberry Jam and dark

 purple metallic seed beads.

This one is a Rose Quartz Tear Drop stone. 

I used Lizbeth size 40 Raspberry Frappe, 

and the chain has pink glass seed beads.

I needed 4 crosses for some very dear ladies I  know. 

I still have to sew in ends as usual, but they are all 

tatted.  First two are Elaine P. Gan's My Portion Cross 

in Lizbeth Purple Iris Fusion, and Elaine's Love on High 

Cross in Raspberry Frappe(size 40 of course).

And the next two are Elaine P. Gan's Justification Cross 

in Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and Purple Iris Dk., and the 

next is Mary Konior's Small Cross in Lizbeth Wildflower 

Garden and Snow White(size 40 of course).

Tons more in the works, but nothing near finished!!  ;)
Hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend and 

make sure to get some tatting time in!!  :)

 

A Red Cross

Mary Konior's Small Cross from Tatting 

with Visual Patterns tatted in size 40 

Lizbeth Christmas Red.

Thankfully they re-opened the clinic 

that I am tatting the crosses for, so 

at my appointment Thursday I will be 

surprising them with the crosses.  I 

will also be finding out how many more 

I need since I have around 10.
Hope you are all doing well!!!

Have a great day and get some tatting 

sanity in.  ;)

A Cross

I asked someone their favorite color and she 

said black, but I like green too.  So....

She has a black and green cross.

This is Mary Konior's Small Cross from 

her Tatting with Visual Patterns book.

It's tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Black and 

Yarnplayer's HDT Celery(my favorite 

green)!!!  :)

I have worked on the Spring Doily, but 

while riding across state Saturday and 

tatting I had a small problem closing a ring.

It stopped closing so I tried to straighten out 

the curling thread, and succeed 3 times, but 

the 4th time the thread snapped, so I have to 

take time to take out the partial ring and join 

the shuttle thread back and start again.

I also worked on the Christmas Bow edging, 

but got tired quickly.

I also had an order for a green pair of my 

dreamcatcher earrings which have been 

tatted and delivered this weekend, and I 

have an order for a rainbow pair.

Happy tatting everyone!!!  :)
