Time to catch up on what's been happening here.

Our daughter, Sarah, and I were at our first craft 

show of this year.  Here she is with all her items(tons!).
Everything in this picture up to the little Christmas 

tree on the left.

Below is my large Christmas tree with the larger 

Pop Top Ice Drop ornaments, and small space of 

jewelry(plus my in-progress forever tatted tablecloth).

And below is my small tree with small Pop Top
Ice Drop ornaments, Christmas button ornaments,
and mirror ornaments.

These young girls who were at the craft show before,
were back and selling ribbon wrapped candy cane
wreaths.  I wanted to support them, and got this fabulous
snowflake candy cane wreath.

A lady at the craft show was admiring my tatting

and told me how she used to crochet angel tree
toppers.  I was so curious how big size 3 thread
would make the Cathedral  Angel(by Elaine P. Gan)
that I tried it.  I don't have a correct head, but tried a
couple to see. This is the largest bead I have(too small).

This is one of my mirror ornaments, great size,

but too flat.

Below shows the difference in sizes.  First is size 3, 

second is size 40, then size 20.

And, I wanted to embellish this beautiful agate slice 

with tatting.  I like how it turned out.  :)  Next is to 

tat a chain.

And, I tatted 2 snowflakes to use as earrings. 
This pattern is #8 from 4 Dozen 

Tatted Snowflakes from Robin Perfetti.

So, you are all caught up here!! ;)
Have a wonderful tatting filled day and 
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!! :)

 

Plenty to show tonight

Here is the mat that I started.  I need to sew in the 

ends and block it, but it's done!! :)

 Here it is on the printer paper to show size.

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Falling Leaves.

Here it is on the pocket notebook for size. 

 I have a friend who makes fabric yoyos for her 

sister and niece for projects.  I thought it would 

be cool to make some yoyos, add tatting and put 

on barrettes or headbands.  Well, since there isn't 

much to do here, I asked our daughter to help me 

and she did all these after I showed her how to do 

the first, and then she was inspired with project 

ideas of her own, so, you may see the finished 

ideas soon.  ;)

 I made the yoyos below.

 She left me have one of hers for this 

Ice Drop embellishment.

 I emptied shuttles making small motifs to add to 

some of the yoyos.

 Today, our daughter, Sarah, made these 2 yoyo 

pumpkins(and another later).  Super cute.  Later 

when I get access to my tatting threads, I will tat 

leaves for them.

 Then I tatted a snowflake. I found the pattern when 

searching google and it came from pinterest.  The 

designer is DorARTthea.

 And today I tatted this angel by designer Nicola 

Gooday Bowersox at Just-Tatting on Facebook.

It's called Julie's Angel.

Hope you all have had a great day!!!

Happy Tatting all!!! :)

Post # 2 A white angel with blue beads

Love this angel!! :)  Prettier in person!

Size 40 Lizbeth Snow White with blue 

beads.  Larger beads than the Christmas 

Angel.

I also got 1 Small Maple Leaf earring done, 

and 2 angel wing centers done and ready 

for the final row before starting the 

bodies(skirts).

Have a wonderful day of tatting!! :)

A Christmas Angel

 I wanted to add beads to an angel and I 

thought I would start with Christmas 

colors.

I love it more now that it's done!!

When I had just the wings done it looked 

ok, but wasn't really inspiring me, but 

now I think it looks great!! :)

I love beads that you can see through!

I am working on the pink cross and then 

I want to start an angel with blue beads.

So many things I want to get done, but I 

am not able to do as much as I want.

Have a wonderful day and try to work 

on some tatting too!! :)

A Purple Angel

At the Craft Show a lady asked if I had a purple angel 

and I said no I don't, but I can make one.  She said ok, 

and ordered 2 Blue Ice Angels also.

I had to order the Lizbeth size 80 Purple Iris Fusion 

thread and it made it here in record time, so I got busy 

and tatted her purple angel.  Her order is ready and 

waiting for her.

Have a wonderful tatting filled day!!! :)

So busy....

I have 9 angels ready for the craft show in Oct.
I have 2 of each color, and 1 white(so far).

 I tatted around a couple more of the small confetti 

circles.  I added some little Christmas buttons a 

friend gave me.  The green candy button will be 

nice to hook the ornament hook through.

I need a $20 item for the raffle at the craft show so 

I am planning a rainbow suncatcher, and hoping to 

start it Saturday(just procrastinating on stringing 

tons of beads).  ;)

Tatting here and there, on and off, and still loving it!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!! :)

A Tropical Punch Angel

Lizbeth size 80 Tropical Punch.  I love 

the bright beauty of this angel!!

Have a wonderfully tat-tilled day!!! :)

Tollway tatting fun!!! :) & updates

I was able to join all the wonderful ladies at 

Tollway Tatters again.  We had a great time, and...

there was actually plenty of tatting getting done.  ;)

 Diane(Queen of Ice Drops) is working on Ice Drop 

animals-test tatting for a new book Wally Sosa is 

putting together.  They are so cute!!!  :)

 Updates:  I am still working on Cathedral doilies!!

The twins are at row 12(well, the one on the left is 

is almost done with row 13) of 33. 

The larger doily on the right is now done with row 

25 of 33. In size 40 this is getting pretty good 

sized as you can see by the piece of paper it's on.

 I also have 1 of 3 angels done for an order.

I am going to do my best to have several colors 

made up so if she may choose if she wants them 

the same of different colors.

Those are our daughter's angels in the 

cabinet behind.

Have a blessed day and may you 

enjoy some tatting too!!! :)

Yes, I have been tatting.

I am still working on the twin Cathedral 

Doilies, and my Cathedral Doily, as well 

as 3 Cathedral Angels.

The top left Rainbow Taffy Cathedral 

Doily has row 12 done, the top right 

has row 11 done, the little tatted piece

on the right side is the start to the first 

angel's wings, and my Cathedral Doily 

is on row 24.

Remember, these are Elaine P. Gan's 

designs.

It's all a bit slow lately, but I continue 

tatting onward!!

Have a wonderful day, hopefully filled 

with tatting!!! :)

A Test-Tatted Angel

Same angel 3 different surroundings.

She is tatted in size 80 Lizbeth Summer Fun.

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.

She's named the Cathedral Angel since 

she is made from the Cathedral Doily design. 

She's about 2 inches tall.

 And she turned out pretty good for a first try.  

Still working on the twin doilies only about 1/2 

way around 1 on row 11.

Have a wonderful day!!  :)

Elaine P. Gan Angel

I test tatted an angel for Elaine P. Gan.

The pattern was fine, but I messed up and forgot 

to tat the halo, but I think it's a wonderful angel 

anyway!!!  :)  

It's tatted in size 3 white with an iridescent 

thread in it, and it's almost 3 inches tall.

Hopefully the next one will have the halo-note 

to self, DO NOT CUT THREADS until the 

halo is done!!!  :)

Happy Tatting!!!  :)

Adding to this post:

I re-tatted the angel and it has it's halo now!! :)

Both are great I think!!  :)

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