Another Ice Drop done!

I love this one!!!  Nothing too fancy about it, but 

I love it!! :)
Size 40 Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus and Bright Blue Lt. 

with a light blue center gem.

I hope you are having a fantastic Saturday and tatting too!! :)

 

Working on tatting

Well, I thought I was doing pretty good, half way around 

but the ruffling is way too much!!
This is in Lizbeth size 3 Snow White.

So I started to cut it off, but then snipped a thread 

from the previous row and had no way to fix it, and 

since that row had a continuous mistake in it, I figured 

it was meant to be, so two rows to start over.

 Today I needed a change so I decided to tat an Ice Drop.
Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Coral Splash.  Just made up 

the design as I tatted.

For those who are wondering, nope, not in the house 

yet.
Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)

Square 3 of 4 added to the mat, and a new idea in progress.

The mat is getting close to getting completed.

Could be a day or two depending on what life 

throws my way.

I figured out that I mess up tons more when I 

am in the process of joining one to another so...

this last one has more joins and WILL get full 

attention!!!

And....I needed a color change in the middle so...

I started another idea and guess what it includes...

of course, Ice Drops.  So, this is how far I got today 

before I decided that I needed to get that square 

done today.  I will keep you posted as the project 

progresses and hopefully works!
Oh, this is the basic pattern, but I think it's been so 

long that I got my chains mixed up, but I like 

the look so I am keeping it this way.  ;)

I hope you had a great day and got your tatting in!! 

:)

A Purple Minty Fudge Ice Drop

This is Diane's Minty Fudge Ice Drop tatted in size 

40 Lizbeth Purple Splendor.  There are adjustments 

made to the center back and front, but the outer round 

is according to the pattern(that is why the chains don't 

look right, but I think it's a pretty flower shape this 

way.

Still working on emptying this shuttle.

Have a wonderful day and hopefully some tatting too!

My Florette in size 80

This is my Florette Ice Drop pattern tatted in size 80

Lizbeth Berry Burst.  I am calling it a bead drop since 

the center gem isn't glass, actually it's like a rubber 

bead by the feel of it.  The colors go so well with the 

bead I just had to try, and I felt like the Florette would 

bring out the flowers too!

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)

An Elderberry Jam Florette Ice Drop

I tatted another Florette.  I needed to empty 

more shuttles and this is one of my favorite 

colorways.  It's size 40 Lizbeth Elderberry Jam.

 I wanted to add beads, but didn't think it 

out well so...they waited and were added to 

the top of the hanging loop.  ;)

Happy tatting everyone!!! :)

My Florette Ice Drop pattern

Florette Ice Drop by Sue B.

**I used Lizbeth size 40 thread for this.  And a regular sized gem.

R= ring,  Ch= chain, sm. p= small picot, lg. p= large picot, j= join

Center back:

R  6 sm. p  6 lg. p  6 sm. p  6

Ch 6 sm. p  3 lg. p  3 sm. p  6

Continue as a basic Ice Drop joining the rings to the last picot of the ring, and second to the large picot on the first ring, and remember to join the last ring to the first ring to complete it.  This has a total of 6 rings and 6 chains.

Front center(rings and chains holding gem in):

R  8 lg. p  8 lg. p  8

Ch  12

Outer round:

Ch  4 sm. p  3

R  3 j 3 

Ch 10 j 10 

R  3 j 3

Ch  3 sm. p  4 (next chains will join to this picot, and the final chain will join to the very first chain).

**Tat this in which order is easiest for you.  This is the order I prefer.

My (new) Florette Ice Drop

We had to get taxes done today and I am always 

so extremely bored since I don't know half of what 

they are talking about, so..I decided ahead of time to 

take tatting along.  And Ice Drop would be nice, 

quick and easy enough, especially if I just make it 

up and don't need a pattern.

So, I ended up with what I am calling Florette.

 The plan was to have an orange center gem, but the 

color didn't look good enough when time to add the 

gem so I had a green one along just in case.

Oh, it's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Autumn Spice.

I really like the design and wrote out what I did in 

case I get requests for the pattern.

Have a wonderful weekend and happy tatting!!! :)

Patriotic Ice Drop

Lizbeth Twirlz size 20 Patriotic.

Just a basic Ice Drop with the outer chains longer

(I tatted them 10ds  3 beads  10ds).

Hope you are all having a wonderful day!!

Have a tatting filled weekend!!! :)

Side view of shell pendants & an Ice Drop

Ok, here is a picture of one of the sets of the shell 

necklace and earring sets I have been adding tatting 

to.  This is the set I will be adding the Tropical 

Punch colored tatting to.

I was asked for a side view of the pendants.

Here is a side view.  They are very thin.

 If you are wondering what is in the window, it's 

my "giant" snowman suncatcher with a tatted 

center(belly).  I have plans to add more tatting, but 

a million other things have prevented me from getting 

it done so far, but I still love having it in the window!!

 Here is a side view of the pendants I have already 

added tatting to.

Still working to empty my Tatsy shuttle and got 

another Ice Drop done.  I love this one!! :)

 And got this motif which would be a back 

of an Ice Drop, but I don't want to wind a 

shuttle to add the front.  So...my Tatsy 

is finally empty(it was only half full).

Have an awesome week of tatting and 

hopefully lots of love!!! :)

I am afraid to fully admit that I am an addict!!

I am trying to empty a Tatsy shuttle and it seems 

endless.  When I started this Ice Drop I thought 

I might run out of thread, but nope, there is still 

thread on the shuttle.  Oh well, I am trying!

This is just a basic Ice Drop tatted in size 20 

Lizbeth Rainbow Splash with an extra row 

of chains around it and joined to each picot.

Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)

Ice Drops continue......

This is a basic Ice Drop with extra picots.

Tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Purple Splendor.

  The back was pretty too, so I took a picture.  ;)

Emptied 3 shuttles and gonna try to tat some samples 

 of the 3 colors I am trying to decide between for the 

necklace.

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)

Another Ice Drop

This is Nicola Bowersox's pattern from Ice Drop Addicts 

on facebook.  I left off the outer round because I was 

running out of thread.  I tatted it in size 40 Lizbeth 

Wildflower Garden with adjusted stitch counts.

Have a wonderful day of tatting!!! :)

Spring Garden Ice Drop

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.

The center gem is light purple as the gem next 

to it.

Hope you are having a tat-filled day!! :)

Ice Drop #2 today

This one is Diane's Minty Fudge tatted in size 40 

Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.  The outer round looks 

different because I used her stitch counts and in 

size 40 I should have added more stitches.  Oh well, 

it's cute.

Have a wonderful Sunday tomorrow

 and happy tatting!!! :)

Diane's Blue Fudge Ice Drop

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Vineyard Harvest.

Another Ice Drop in the works.

Happy Tatting, stay warm!!! :)

Diane's Pink Fudge Ice Drop

It's very white around here(close to over a foot of snow 

already and it's still snowing and supposed to over the 

next 8 days at least) so, I tatted a flower Ice Drop.

It's Diane's Pink Fudge Ice Drop pattern in size 40 

Lizbeth Wildflower Garden thread.  The center gem

looks very blue, but it's closer to the color of the beads

and the purple in the thread.

Happy New Year to you all!!!!!!!

Happy Tatting too!!! :)

Tatting....

I had an idea and wanted to have it for a Christmas 

greeting here, but as you can tell it didn't happen.

I wanted to tat my own idea of a wreath.

Here is what I have-I quit and will try to improve 

it later!!!  It looks ok, but doesn't lay as I want it to. 

It's size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Green with 3 different 

sized picots randomly tatted along.  I wanted the it 

to look like pine needles of various sizes.  I like the 

look but my chains aren't correct, and I should have 

had lots more seed beads and in more colors.

 The decorations on the wreath came from the package 

pictured below.  I got it to make earrings out of those 

tiny cookie cutters, and I thought those tiny buttons 

would be great decorations for the wreath idea-which 

as you see I added a bead to the top of for a little sparkle.

 I found a small motif I tatted(not sure what it was for) 

and thought it would make a great back for an Ice 

Drop-yep it does.  This is the front using my regular 

size 40 stitch count from Diane's basic Ice Drop.

 And this is the motif.  Pretty huh?  I love it!!

I think I might try to figure out the stitch count 

and see if I can make others in better colors!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful tatting filled day!!  :)

Rainbow Splash Ice Drop

This is Diane's Pink Fudge Ice Drop pattern 

tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash with 

a yellow gem center.

I was just wanting to empty shuttles when I tatted 

this, but since almost all our snow has melted I guess 

this is fitting, but not really wanted since we NEED 

snow for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!

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

2017 25 Motif Challenge # 11 &12 and another Ice Drop

The snowflakes are from 20 Twenty to Make 

Tatted Snowflakes by Jennifer Williams.

Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice with tiny blue beads.

It curls cuz' I used tiny picots and the beads barely 

fit on them and I still had to make a join.

This snowflake is named Mary.

Neither snowflake is terrible hard, the challenge 

on the first was due to my small picots, the challenge 

on the second was bead placement.

 This next snowflake is named Auriel.

 I tatted another Birthday Ice Drop in Lizbeth size 

20 Snow White with gold beads and a frosted gem.

 Here's a collection of recent projects.

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)
