Tatting for the Craft Show and for orders

This necklace is made from a stone that was 

in an ugly silver frame necklace that I found 

in some jewelry my mom had(and never wore,

I think someone must have given it to her).

The thread is Lizbeth size 40 Spice Cake, and 

it's just simple rings and chains. The stone is 

heavy.

 I also thought some Christmas bracelets would be 

nice so I used my Tatted Bugle Bead or Ladder 

 design, pattern link here: 

http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-bugle-bead-or-ladder-bracelet-pattern.html

These are tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight, 

one with silver bugle beads, and the other with gold.

 And..at the last Craft Show a lady purchased a pair 

of Small Maple Leaf earrings, and I just got a request 

from her for 2 more pairs for some friends, and then 

she asked if I still had a pair of Christmas Tree earrings 

and I did, and she wants to buy them(see them here:

Well, back to tatting and everything else.

Have a wonderful day tatting!!!

Improved twin

Ok, so...I was not as happy with the first owl 

bracelet, so I made a couple of small changes 

and I think I like it better.  It actually is a tiny 

bit longer, but to me the tatting looks a bit 

thicker and neater.

Again, it's Lizbeth size 40 black.

I ran out of thread on the shuttle at one point and 

had to add more, then I freaked out when I spotted 

a huge mistake of a missing ring & chain with a 

bead between owls.  The repair was no easy fix 

and I am hoping it's not visible(thankfully, not to 

non-tatters!).  :)

Hope you had a wonderful day and some tatting too!!  :)

A Christmas surprise bracelet

I don't have the ends sewn in or the findings on, 

but I wanted to show it.  This is for our daughter's 

friend. She loves owls and will be here for an 

exchange of gifts for Christmas some time probably 

after Christmas.

This is an adaption of my design which is here: 

http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-bugle-bead-or-ladder-bracelet-pattern.html

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Black with tiny black beads 

and of course the owl beads.  :)

Happy tatting and have a wonderful day!!!  :)

Tatting along with my shuttle and thread

Well, I just had to try my other thought.  It's ok. 

 It gives a nice ruffly effect for someone who might like that.

This one is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Niagara Falls with blue bugle beads.

And here is the progression of this pattern.

First the Rainbow Splash version:simple.

Then the Black version:elegant.

Then the Niagara Falls version:ruffle lace.

Well...got to get busy with things that HAVE to get done!!

Have a fabulous tatting day!!!  :)

Tongue Twister Tatting: Black Bugle Bead Bracelet

Over the weekend I worked on another one of my bugle bead bracelets(or ladder bracelet)

pattern here: http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-bugle-bead-or-ladder-bracelet-pattern.html

But....this on is not going to stay this way....

you will have to wait to see what I have planned(or what develops).   :)

Hope you had a good weekend and lots of tatting!! :)

**I fogot to post this....I took pictures in progress so you could see all
the paperclips.  I was teasing my husband saying it was beautiful,
and holding it up across my wrist.  :)

******************************************************

Well, adding more to this post.

Here is what I have added to this bracelet.

Let me just say, there was supposed to be more, but....

I guess I will have to tat another bracelet because I think

this is quite elegant right now and I don't want to mess it up!

I sure hope you have tatting time today!!  :)
