Update on the doily I started as a secret gift....and another cross

Ok, here is the doily so far that was a secret tatting gift, and is now prayerfully going to get done in time to give to my mother-in-law and her hubby for Christmas.  I believe there are 3 more rounds-2 more easier white ones, and one more of the flower shaped navy blue round(which takes TIME).  There are mistakes throughout this, but I am praying they are not visible.  This first picture was taken with the flash.

 This second without the flash.

 And tonight I tatted another of Elaine P. Gan's Victory Cross.

This one is in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden(and just as small as the last-quarter sized).  

It's for another senior lady.

I am hoping to keep myself in as much tatting motion as possible to finish that doily on time!

Hope you have a wonderful tatting time!!!  :)

Test Tatting for Elaine P. Gan again

This absolutely fabulous little cross is from Elaine's new book due to come out soon.

It's her Victory Cross test tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Raspberry Pink Med. and Tropical Punch.

As you can see it's quite small in size 40.  It didn't take long at all to tat(maybe 1/2 hour to an hour).

I love the colors together just like when I mix the Raspberry Pink Med. with Fruit Fizz.  :)

We are expecting quite a snowstorm tonight through Sunday or even Monday they said.  Looks like an average of 4 inches of snow(and there isn't even a trace on the ground or in the air yet).

Had plans to get together with other tatters, but in the interest of safety that has been changed.....looks like I may get to spend some of tomorrow tatting and with the family(which has been a blessing for a day already).  :)

Have a great, safe and warm tatting weekend!!!  :)
