A New(to me) Cross Bookmark and a New tatting book

I love this design!!!!  I hope to do some more later, but for now....this Cross Bookmark (pattern from Jennifer Williams here: http://www.cariad-tatting.co.uk/patterns.crossbookmark2.pdf ) is for my 2nd mother-in-law.  I inherited 2 mother-in-laws when I got married and love them both.

This is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Christmas Red and Angel's Love.

 And....I have another new tatting book!!!  

Can't wait to have fun with all the new threads and books and beads and whatever else this year!!!  :)

Have a happy tatting day!!!  :)

2014 25 Motif Challenge # 13

I have wanted to badly to tat this beautiful cross since I first saw it!!!  I wasn't sure I could do it, but it isn't as complicated as I thought(although, I did miss one join so I tied the picots together and sewed in the thread ends).  It's Jane's Bookmark Cross, pattern here:   http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/6207094/janebookmarkcross-gracetan-pdf-170k?da=y  

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Pink Blossoms.  It's for a very sweet lady in our Sunday night group.
