I tatted up this set of autumn leaves using Lizbeth 

size 40 threads.  Right to left- Autumn Spice, 

Orange Crush, Honey Drizzle, Falling Leaves, and 

Spice Cake.

And, I had to show this, Marilee, in size 40 these 

earrings are the same size as the leaves in the bottom 

picture on page 2 of your pattern.  ;)

I had a request for another cross.  This one is for the 

daughter of the lady I tatted the last one for.  She said 

light blue was her favorite color and normally I use 

Lizbeth Niagara Falls, but this time I changed it up 

and used a favorite of mine, Blue Ice.  I hope she likes it!

And, I have had a couple of chances to spend time with 

this little one.  Our newest addition to our morning 

ministry family.  It's precious time with any baby!!  :)

Have a great week and hope to see all the 

Tollway Tatters this Saturday!! :)

Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

 

A bracelet and earrings

I test tatted another choker for Elaine P. Gan, but I 

liked the design and decided I wanted mine to be 

a bracelet.  ;)

 And, our daughter has a friend visiting and she 

bought a pair of my Ice Drop earrings, and a pair 

of Small Maple Leaf earrings, and then requested 

a pair of the Small Maple Leaf earrings tatted in 

Yarnplayer's Snowflake HDT, so I got busy today 

and here they are!!!  :)

I hope you are having a tatting filled day!!!

I am off to test tat a necklace next!  ;)

Tatting when possible

 I tatted most of these earrings this weekend 

between things we had to do and finished the 

match to the last set last night.
They are Yarnplayer's Small Maple Leaf 

earring pattern:  https://www.etsy.com/listing/130244268/tatting-pattern-small-maple-leaf-pdf?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_d-craft_supplies_and_tools-patterns_and_how_to-tutorials&utm_custom1=7fcdca78-b35b-4442-8607-4f3777a7ec01&utm_content=go_1843970773_71423425802_346429200377_pla-322726483898_c__130244268&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg4ifoc2o5AIVT9bACh0qBwMvEAYYASABEgIYpvD_BwE&fbclid=IwAR3Fn0oS2FMsv16EmJvJN3qiQaLgZ5T7yKWCF6zJTfY86hK5hr34y4LAxjM
The top 2 sets have gold beads, and the 

bottom set has orange beads.

They are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves 

thread.  Now off to finish them.

And, I needed to empty one shuttle and have a 

change from the leaves so I tatted this little 

motif:  http://plant.mints.ne.jp/takara/tatting/Azulejo200.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0jn2uufvpyxYAzDEX6RCwdeXyHhbeiB3Ffkel8Q8UN80DV44c0n2fzRSc
I ran very short on thread on the second shuttle 

and had to do the shoelace trick for the final 

chains and floating ring, plus hand tatting to finish.

Hope you are all having a great day and getting in 

some tatting!!!  :)

For those who are wondering about the housing 

situation here...we are still in a hotel, but the 

well and septic were supposed to be done 

yesterday(we haven't heard yet for sure).

I will keep you posted.  ;)

Finally got my blue suncatcher done

Tatted in Lizbeth size 80 Peacock Blues and in a 

4 inch ring.  This will grace our home-when we 

have one.  ;)

My own design.  It amazes me how a design comes 

out on it's own.

I tatted 2 pairs of Yarnplayer's Small Maple Leaf 

Earrings also. In size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves.
Pattern here:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/130244268/tatting-pattern-small-maple-leaf-pdf?ref=shop_home_active_28

No new news on the home/land.

I have made dagger earrings for our 

daughter the pirate, and she had a friend 

want some, so she sold 2 pairs, and is 

at an event and has several along just in 

case someone else wants them too.
Now, what to do???

Have a wonderful tatting filled weekend!!  :)

Tatting for the Craft Show and for orders

This necklace is made from a stone that was 

in an ugly silver frame necklace that I found 

in some jewelry my mom had(and never wore,

I think someone must have given it to her).

The thread is Lizbeth size 40 Spice Cake, and 

it's just simple rings and chains. The stone is 

heavy.

 I also thought some Christmas bracelets would be 

nice so I used my Tatted Bugle Bead or Ladder 

 design, pattern link here: 

http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-bugle-bead-or-ladder-bracelet-pattern.html

These are tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight, 

one with silver bugle beads, and the other with gold.

 And..at the last Craft Show a lady purchased a pair 

of Small Maple Leaf earrings, and I just got a request 

from her for 2 more pairs for some friends, and then 

she asked if I still had a pair of Christmas Tree earrings 

and I did, and she wants to buy them(see them here:

http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-tree-earrings.html  )

Well, back to tatting and everything else.

Have a wonderful day tatting!!!

Progress and a surprise

I finished 2 angels and a pair of Small Maple Leaf 

earrings this weekend.  Lots more to get ready for 

Craft Show on Dec. 1.

 And the surprise was for me yesterday.  I went to 

our Sunday night church and my in-laws said they 

had something for me.  It was actually from their 

apartment complex manager.  She knew I do tatting 

because she has one of the crosses I tatted, and she 

told them she was going through some books and 

found this and knew that it was for me.  Wow!!!

I have the shuttles and now the book!

Busy working on about 3 projects at the same

time so...off the computer and back to work!

Have a wonderful day and get some tatting in!  :)

Post #1 Pink Firm Foundation Cross

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.

It's only about 2 inches tall.

It is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Pink Blossoms.

Just before the Craft Show I was busy trying 

to get some of Yarnplayer's Small Maple Leaf 

earrings done.  I made some for our daughter 

quite some time ago and she gets constant 

compliments on them.

I thought some ladies might prefer a golden 

leaf, but no one seemed to want them.

They are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Honey Drizzle.

 I also tatted them in my favorite Lizbeth Autumn 

Spice(size 40), and both pairs sold quickly.

The picture below shows that Lizbeth size 40 

tats up to the size in the pictures on the pattern.

 And, today I tatted them in size 40 Lizbeth Falling 

Leaves.  Lots more tatting to get done!!!

I want to play with some of my new colors 

of thread, but....important things have to 

be done first....hmmmm...maybe something 

needs to be tatted in one of the new colors(wink).

Have a great day and get your tatting in!!

This was the first of 2 posts, but Blogger 

switched the order so don't miss the post 

before it.  ;)
