Tatting and house update.

I have tatted Yarnplayer's Arches doily before(here: 

http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/03/2015-25-motif-challenge-25-arches-doily.html  )

 and loved it.  Although, I tatted it in size 40 then and 

now in size 20-Lizbeth Coral Splash and Snow 

White.

Just to let everyone know the white row which looks

bunched does have overlapping under the large rings 

and it happened in the first one I tatted also.

 Next, I tatted Yarnplayer's Snowflake-pattern here:

 I have been working slowly on Ninetta's Treble Tatting 

Stitch and learning!!!  I started with size 40, then 

size 20, and went to the store and got size 3(very 

limited selection-5 solid colors to choose from).

I think it was my best idea!!!  I think my stitches 

are more even and work out much better!!

I have the first and second(small rings which didn't
close well) rows of a trial piece 

tatted and think it looks pretty good.

And, just got done with this snowflake below.

As for the house....frustration is the only word I have!

It's got the cinder blocks under it and a special coating 

on them and now as the picture shows the dirt is all the 

way up to the house.  The inside is not done and things 

have been delayed again, this time by the electric 

company and the contractor.  We were told electric would 

be connected to the house Nov. 1, but were just informed 

that has been changed to Nov. 6 due to the contractor not 

doing his job.  Oh man!!!!  It could be Christmas before 

we get to move in!!!

Hope you are all doing well and having a great day 

and getting your tatting fill!!  :)

2015 25 Motif Challenge # 25 Arches Doily

Ok, it's "done"(ends need sewing in and it needs blocking!).

This is Yarnplayer's Arches Doily which I love!!!

Pattern here:  http://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2009/01/arches-doily.html

The pattern isn't hard, just very beautiful!!!!

I did miss a picot and a couple of ds on one of the arch 

chains, but I "made my own".

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Coral Splash, and Salmon Med.

And I love these colors!!!

For those wondering it's almost the size of a saucer plate.

Well, last year's challenge is now complete, and I have to figure 

out what I can do about this year's challenge!  I have some

ideas, but we are getting ready to start up our outdoor ministry again 

this Sunday and I have less time during the nicer months.

Either way, I will keep tatting!!!

Have a blessed and Happy Easter!!!

And hopefully some tatting time too!!!  :)
