Starflowers

As you can see, I leave the ends until I 

figure out what I am going to do with them.

 Here are just a few beaded stars.

 These are the beaded flowers- Corina's

. Which are the inspiration

for the stars and star flowers.

Hope this helps!  :)

Sea Island Citrus Star flowers

Emptying a shuttle and making starflowers!!  :)

These are in size 40 Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus.

The first is what it looks like before the second round

is added, and the second one is complete.  

I love these starflowers, and the colors!!!  :)

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)

Newest start on Christmas started for those

interested, go the Christmas blog. 

Granddaughter invasion in progress!!!

Sheeesh, you have your granddaughters over and they make you work!

At least they are happy!!!  :)

The only one that let me have a picture is Madison.  

She wanted me to make her a necklace with the 

Juicy Watermelon heart I made awhile ago.  

Luckily, Aunt Sarah had a chain just perfect for it!!  :)

 They had some kind of Karate demonstration or something at school 

today and they received purple Karate belts.  So...

here is our Karate kid.

 And, the older one, Natalie, wanted my Boysenberry Dk. StarFlowers

made into earrings.  Now, earrings for her are tricky because she can't

wear hardly any kind.  She has only been ok with either glass, 

or acrylic.  Do you know how hard either of those are to find???

Almost impossible, even searching online.

So...I chanced it and bought these tiny plastic "fish hook"

earrings and some posts too.  She loves these and I think

they will look great on her, but her mom has to get her 

"holes" in her ears open again first, so I won't get to see them, 

but I know she will look fabulous in them!!!

Well, I had better go play Mario Kart Racing with them 

so they can tell everyone how they won AGAIN!!!  :)

Have a wonderfully blessed and tatting filled weekend!! :)

A little bit of Tatting

Well...I haven't done much.  The small Starflower was done this week,

 and the large one today.  Sometimes people want to know the size

difference, so...here is a Large Starflower(my first) which is going to be 

a pendant to which I will make a pair of matching earrings to add to it,

hmmm....and maybe a bracelet??. And, also a Small Starflower(which the

last join is messed up, but I can find a use for it), so you can see the difference

in size.  Both are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth threads.  The large one is Niagara Falls

and the small one is Boysenberry Dk.

 And this next picture shows the sizes compared to a Clover shuttle.

Hope your weekend is blessed with beautiful tatting and love!!!  :)

More tatting done today

The addiction continues....

These mini starflowers are tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Elderberry Jam 

with Czech glass beads Amethyst mini mix beads.

I also tatted a tassel for one of the rainbow crosses I make.

 These next 2 pictures are of our vow re-newal for our 30th anniversary for those interested.

And this next picture shows the gorgeous necklace I purchased from Yarnplayer

(it's the only elegant thing I own, and I wanted to feel special).

Hope you all have a wonderful night(day for others), and get some tatting time!!!  :)

More tatting done this weekend

I tatted this beaded lanyard bracelet from this pattern: https://sbspokane.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/beaded-lanyard.pdf

in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and colored beads. I just need to finish the end and add the clasp.

 And I finished the other pair of starflowers in size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk.

Thank you to all who are wishing me a more restful couple of weeks.  I will let you know that this week might be crazy too as I spend time preparing for our 30th Anniversary and the renewing of our wedding vows this coming Sunday(although, our anniversary is on Monday the 25th).  We are sharing this occasion with the seniors we teach on Sunday night and will have our normal "service" right after.

I hope your week is blessed and that you have time for tatting!!!  :)

Tatting accomplished over the weekend

Using up thread on mini beaded starflowers.

 Only 1/4 of this next round left on the snowman(I know....it's not a snowman yet-plenty of work to actually make a snowman--especially without snow).  :)

Oh, and today I started another doily.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!!  :)

Hope you have a wonderful week and get some tatting time!!!  :)
