Red, white, & green wreath done!

Here is a picture of the complete wreath.
 Next is a close-up of the left side.
 Then a close-up of the right side.
 Now a close-up of the bottom.
 Last, a close-up of the bow(I am all covered in 
sparkly glitter-oh, the floor also).
Well, I have over 70 items tatted, or with tatting(the 
wreaths) for the Craft Show, and 50 some charm  
earrings.  I am still working on angels because I would 
like to have at least 10(I have 7). And I am hoping to 
have time to tat some of my dreamcatcher earrings-
we shall see.
Hope your day is blessed with tatting!!! :)

Up since 4am and some tatting done..

These are the Confetti discs that I am tatting around 
for the wreath.  I am currently working on a large one 
for an ornament.
 Below are the two I have for the wreath.  These are 
the small discs.  I love the reflection feature!!
 I am currently deciding on how I want the items 
on the wreath, and then when I figure it out I will 
wire them to the wreath.  The ribbon in the center 
will be made into a bow.
 I had test tatted Robin's Wave Bookmark and showed 
it to my friends on facebook and it was promptly 
claimed, and then another friend also claimed it, so 
I had to tat a second.  It has a longer tassel than the 
first.  I also think it's tatted better-practice makes 
perfect.  ;)
Well, on to other things if my brain will let me.
Have a wonderful day!!! :)

Accomplishing some(2nd post today)

Working on my red wreath(well...red,white & green),
I have white tatted snowflakes, and some cute 
Christmas decorative buttons, and red, silver & green 
jingle bells to go with my garland which you can see 
in the first picture.  I wanted a little more so I got out 
these red(&green also) cardboard discs which they 
call confetti(they are very large confetti).  I decided 
to use the smaller of the two sizes and tat around it 
for something different on this wreath.
I like it!!  Can't wait to get a green one done!!!
 Below is a size comparison.
Have a wonderful tat-filled night!! :)

Still tatting along.....

I finished test tatting another of Robin Perfetti's 
bookmarks.  This one is Fancy Bookmark.
Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk.
I should have used smaller picots in the center 
joins, but it's noted for next time.
And....I changed the bow on the wreath
(and added another snowflake and snowman).
I personally think it works better.  I am 
saving the other bow and planning on 
doing a wreath(maybe not this year) with 
the darker blues.  ;)
Have a wonderful day!!! :)

Preparing for the Craft Show in Oct.

Photography is not my talent.  I love taking 
pictures, but they don't seem as wonderful as 
when others take them.
I wanted to show the 4 colors of angels I have.
Lizbeth Summer Fun, Cotton Candy, 
Tropical Punch, and Blue Ice.
I currently have 5 angels ready.
 I bought artificial wreaths years ago to add tatting 
to, but have procrastinated A LOT!!!
Well, the garland was done a long time ago, 
the snowflakes on and off a long time ago, 
the snowman were bought when the wreath was, 
and I just got the ribbon for the bow.
 I am second guessing the bow now.  The blues are 
so different, yet all the blues are different.
I made the bow yesterday.
 Hoping you can see all the little pieces.
Any opinions on the bow??  Should I look for 
another blue ribbon that could be a better match??
The wall is actually cream colored, but the sun is 
coming through the blinds to the left of this and 
I can't get better pictures.

Have a wonderful day and hopefully some tatting 
too!!!  :)
