Muskaan's DAL(Design ALong)

So, I have gotten to work on the DAL. 
I had Round 3 done(simple except for the very 
last ring....of course).
And today I got to work on Round 4.  I started 
yesterday with a different idea, but it didn't work 
and I cut it off and waited until today.
Lately I have been dealing with a good lack of 
sleep so that has hindered my brain from working, 
but I am pleased with this!!
I wanted to keep the design of the original motif 
continuing and the open spaces.
I will have to post the directions later.

Sorry the picture isn't great, it's 11pm.
One thing is a problem....ALL those ends to weave in!! 
Not sure yet if I am going to add another Round, but...
I just might. ;)
Happy Tatting and I hope to see all your DALs.  :)
 

Tatting!!!

Muskaan has a Design Along Challenge up and the 

start inspired me to join. 

Here is my start:

I used Lizbeth size 40 Golden Honey, and 

Mocha Brown Med. for the 2nd round. Not 

my normal colors, but the Golden Honey was 

already on a shuttle and I picked colors to go 

with it and hoping for an autumn color scheme.

 

 

Here is the link to the DAL:

Can't wait to see all the designs!!  Happy Tatting today! :)  

 

Merry Christmas(late) and Happy New Year to you all!!

I am still here and still tatting.  Here are some 

items I had to get done before craft shows and 

Christmas.

This cross ended up at a craft show and was 

purchased very quickly, so next year I will 

have crosses at my craft shows.  ;)

This is My Portion Cross by Elaine P. Gan in 

Lizbeth size 40 Purple Iris Fusion.

My mother-in-law ordered this necklace 

for her apartment manager. Lizbeth size 40 

Arctic Waters.

My mother-in-law also ordered these earrings 

to give to my sister-in-law.  The pattern is 

Yarnplayer's Giddy earrings without the drop 

at the bottom.  My beads were too large a 

size 10mm, but they worked.  I had to stiffen

the lace a bit because it was ruffly. 

Lizbeth size 20 Lilac Dk.

I have a legally blind senior on Sunday 

nights who asked me to make her a bag 

she could wear around her neck to hold 

her lifeline device and her cell phone. 

I did a quick(not so great) job on this, but 

she loves it and is so thankful!!  It has 2 

pockets on each side(1 zippered, and 1 open). 
And I just finished another for another senior 

in a different print.

I am also doing plastic canvas "name tags" 

for seniors now.  I have shown my first, so 

here are the next 2 finished just before Christmas,

and I am already almost finished with another

(picture) to come later.

And, I made coasters for my Bible study group.
All you who sew, cover your eyes.  :)
I found these wonderful fabric squares and 

panels and such for quilting 

here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/JodyHoughtonDesigns

all of the ladies love them!! :)

And, these 3 wall hangings will be delivered 

today.  I have never made a wall hanging 

until now.  These are first attempts and ok, but 

not up to my perfectionistic standard(same 

with the coasters above).

Look closely and you will see Tat-a-Renda's 

dragonflies(pattern 

here: https://tatsaway.blogspot.com/2010/02/dragonfly-and-swan.html).

I added Muskaan's flowers(this one is for our 99yr. old).

Pattern here:  https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2018/07/what-do-you-think.html

This one has hearts, but I don't have all the 

designers right now, I tatted them earlier in 

the year.

So, you see I have been a little busy.  ;)
I hope you all have a very happy and blessed 

New Year, and get lots of tatting and crafting in!! :)
