Motif #6 Tat Three Mat

I finally finished the Tat Three Mat by Rosemarie Peel. My husband just loves it! I am just glad that it's finally finished. It wasn't so bad doing the first 7 rounds, but the 8th round was a lot of work and thinking(not to mention...where I made the most mistakes, but how else will I learn if I don't try) :) Have a great day everyone! :)

Working on 8th round.....

Was hoping to have this completely done before this weekend, but this is as far as I have gotten. I am trying hard, but life has gotten too busy and in my way all week. Worse part is that there are already 2 mistakes made and I am not sure I can or want to work on correcting them-1: a join to a wrong picot, the other: missed 3 db stitches and one picot(I have figured out that for me, it's best to tat while listening to music instead of watching tv) Have a great weekend all! :)

7th round done! :)

Here it is.....

I have been taking pictures of it on the "bar", but right now the edge keeps ruffling and luckily my carpet won't allow it to ruffle as much so I got a better picture of it. Now only round 8 left. :)

who switched out my hubby????? ;)

Hi everyone! :)
Today has been a pretty good day and a surprise all around. First we had errands to run and girls to drop at the mall and such. Then, my husband decides we are going to go to the places I know that we can find tatting supplies and let me stock up a little. Things have been financially tight so I have been using what I have gotten to start with and just letting him know that I would like more. And today he decided we were going to splurge for me(WOW!!!!!!!). Now, I have started realizing that the threads I am using are not the quality of some others, but since I just started in Jan. I am ok with it, plus I can get a little more this way, till I get to buy the HDT's that I have been seeing on some of your blogs(they are so awesome!, and my favorite is already sold out-oh well). I have a few new colors, and more white which I am greatly needing to finish 2 doilies, and some clip earrings that I can make some motifs for my daughter to wear( and some yarn to crochet some kitchen dishcloths for my mom for Christmas).

Last night I got busy again on the doily and am about 2/3 of the way done on round 7. I hope to finish this round tonight and then to work on round 8 this week and get it fully done(prayerfully!). :) Have a great Saturday all! I am going to try to calm down a bit. :D

doily round 6 finished

I have been hard at work! I have finally gotten round 6 done and am glad! I am going to take a break again and try to work on a few new things(I hope). :)

Doily.......

I worked on the doily(round #6) and was so happy with how it was looking until I realized that after tatting 8 of 21 sections that I had done it wrong. So, I cut it all off and restarted the round again. I want it to be true to the pattern, or otherwise I would have just left it since it kinda looked ok to me. Oh well, learning is a tough job and I have a long way to go yet. I only have 2 sections done properly so when the round is complete I will show it.

Round 4 done

I got back to work on the doily(mat) last night and completed round 4.
