2011: 25 Motif Challenge- Motif #8

There is no great way to scan or photograph this because of the ruffles, but I had to show it.
This is a hair scrunchie made of size 20 hand dyed thread-"Sacred Lotus" by Crochet4U2Dye4, and the pattern is Napkin Holder #2(just repeated over and over) from the book Christmas Angels and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn. I think this will be so lovely in some young girl's hair.

I also just finished another rainbow cross for another order of 3 from my mother-in-law again. I think she is going to keep me in the rainbow cross business. :)

2011: 25 Motif Challenge- Motif #2

Well, here is a bit of what I have been up to in tatting since my last post.
I just finished this beautiful Butterfly Cross by Ruth-
pattern here:

It's done in size 20 "Sacred Lotus" cotton crochet thread from Crochet4U2Dye4
(I just need to finish off the ends).

Also, I finished the 3 crosses for my mother-in-law, one cross for a friend, and another for the mother of a friend(her granddaughter is receiving the Butterfly cross, and I have to make different crosses yet for her other granddaughter and her daughter).

This picture is awful, but it's the doily I am making and have gotten a little done on it.

And here is the progress on the tablecloth(same motif as the doily done in a different pattern).

It's not quite as long as a notebook folder yet, but I am loving the way it's turning out and my husband is very anxious for me to keep working on it.
