Anyone remember???

This post??  https://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2017/05/working-on-my-personal-challenge-again.html

Well, I finally tatted a second Woodland Medallion by Robin 

Perfetti- link here: http://tattingbythebay.blogspot.com/p/free-patterns.html

It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight.

I didn't do it justice because I used just 1 shuttle 

and a ball, but I believe it should be tatted with 2 

shuttles. 

Well, it was for my personal challenge.

This is #7 of my tatted ornaments to fill my ornament stand, 

hopefully by Christmas!!!

First the top looking down on it while it's on the stand...

Next, is the side showing the open space it makes.

Our daughter says it reminds her of diamonds.

Next is the tatting joined at the corners.

And finally, the bottom, where you can see the 

Woodland Medallion square pretty well.  :)

Please forgive the annoying reflections!!!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

I haven't been feeling too great today so just 

little things are getting accomplished, but I 

have already tatted something else, and next is 

the second of it to make a pair....of what??

You shall soon see!  ;)

Personal challenge # 6

Well, Robin's First Snowfall Snowflake makes an 

elegant ornament decoration(as long as you have 

the right sized ornament and don't cut the ends so 

short that they come undone).

As stated, the top is the same snowflake as the 

bottom with the center rings omitted.

 It's very loose on the ornament and I have to re-adjust 

it each time I pick it up, but I think it's great otherwise!

Below is a picture of the bottom which is the whole 

snowflake.

 Here is the stand with 6 ornaments now(all for me since 

I have many errors in several).  I am a quarter through 

this challenge!!

 And, for anyone wondering size, this stand 

is as tall as our loveseat, and the Snowman 

suncatcher I am creating is half the size of 

this stand(more tatting will be added to 

the snowman in time).  :)

Have a tatfully wonderful weekend!!!  :)

Personal challenge # 5

Still working on filling the ornament display. 

This is Robin Perfetti's Late Winter Snowflake-

link here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8R5ZNar0YDdZU82TFE1TXJrMjQ/edit

The top one has the center rings omitted, and the bottom 

one includes them.  To see it flat look at the previous post.  

It fits pretty good.

 Here is a look at the bottom.

 Here it has joined the others on the display.

5 down and 19 to go.  :)

Have a blessed weekend and happy tatting!!  :)

Another Personal Challenge Ornament, and a little more tablecloth

This next ornament didn't go as planned, but looks 

pretty sharp-I think!  :)

 It's tatted with DMC Metallic embroidery thread.  I 

don't know what size that is, but I will say I hate how 

scratchy it is.  I drug my feet working on the first part 

due to the roughness of the thread, but forced myself 

to get it done.  It will take force to make more in this 

thread!!!

 The pattern is Fancy Snowflake from Easy Tatting 

by Rozella F. Linden.  Now let me admit something...

I started to make the snowflake figuring it would 

work with the center of the snowflake at the top and 

bottom of the ornament, but I missed a join and then 

another, and with that metallic it's a bad idea to open 

rings or untat chains cuz' it shreds and breaks easy, 

even when tatting. So I resolved to just leave it and 

I tied the joins when finished.  And I just pulled a 

string through the top and bottom center picots and 

tied it off.

 I love the look from the bottom!

Below is a picture of the 4 done.

 And, both sides are currently equal on the tablecloth, 

and I am now adding length to the center so I can 

then I can work on getting it all to the width of the 

rest of it and hopefully take a break to sew in ends 

after that.  Then, go back and keep adding width to 

the entire length.  :)  It's a learning process!!  :)

Hope your day is blessed with love and tatting!!!  :)

A Personal Challenge for me

Last year we went and visited one of our favorite 

Christmas stores: Bronners-link here: 

https://www.bronners.com/ 

I wanted to get an ornament display for my 

glass ornaments with tatting.  Well, the 

one I planned on getting was small and 

displayed only 6 ornaments, but I love the 

design.  Well, our daughter saw this one, 

which is the largest they sell, and she talked 

me into it.  So, my personal challenge is 

to fill this before Christmas this year!

There are 4 hangers per level, and there are 6 

levels, so I need to have 24 ornaments on here 

by this Christmas.   

I had started 4 different tatted pieces and today I 

finished 2 for this ornament.  Now let me say that 

attaching it to the ornament could have been more 

decorative, but I wanted an ornament done today 

since we are almost to March already, so I just 

quickly strung it on(not evenly either). 

The pattern is Picture frame #1 from Christmas 

Angels and Other Tatting Patterns by Monica Hahn.

Although, I didn't do the second round.

I have also started frame # 2 for another ornament, 

but I am out of time for today so it will wait.

Happy tatting everyone!!!  :)

I hope you all meet your goals or challenges

 this year!!!  :)
