Got some small test tattings done

All 3 of these designs are again from Elaine P. Gan.  And they are all earring patterns
The first is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Caribbean.
 This next one is tatted in size 40 an HDT from Tat-ilicious(from several years back). I had asked her if she could dye a confetti thread(hoping for little spots of all different colors) and this was her thought-pretty colorway, but not what I was thinking. I call it Hippie Summer cuz' it reminds me of blue jeans and peasant tops from the 70's when I was a kid. :) Although not tatted in the same color... this earring goes with this pendant:  http://hiskid66.blogspot.com/2015/06/another-test-tat-done-today.html
 This last one is tatted in size 10 my "HDT" Confetti(I used fabric markers and "dotted" the thread).
Hope you are having a wonderful day and getting a chance to enjoy some tatting!!!  :)

Fishing(no tatting)

We took our granddaughters fishing Saturday.  This top picture has both the girls in it.  On the right side of the picture is "Grandpa" holding the fish that came off the other guy in the back's pole(that's our friend).  The girls wanted to see it.   
 This picture is the youngest one scared to hold her TINY little fish on the line so I could get the picture.  They were upset because it was bleeding and Grandpa let some other fishermen use it for cut-bait so he was called "Mean Grandpa" for awhile there.  
We were only out for about 2 hours and my right forearm is now sunburned.  I tried tatting, but made too many mistakes and just put it aside so as not to ruin it.

Another small test tat.

It's another Elaine P. Gan design.  It's a necklace pendant
(straight from the shuttles, but not straightened).
In size 20 Lizbeth Lilac Dk.
It's another invasion of the granddaughters weekend.  So...I don't know that you will see or hear any more this weekend(unless there is an unexpected blessing headed my way).  It will be chaos around here and very noisy.  Right now, they are swimming with Aunt Sarah so I have a small break, and tomorrow we are going fishing(they have poles that light up when reeling).  :)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend and are blessed with tatting!!  :)

Test tatting again

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.  
I spent most of today tatting it. There is one error which is totally my fault-I missed a join.
It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Lilac Dk.
No more tatting tonight.  Need a rest!!  :)
Have a wonderful night!!  :)

Another quick test tat

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.  It's an earring and you can place a small charm in the center if you like, and/or you could add beads.  It's actually small, but the picture is deceiving.  
It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Caribbean.
On to another test tat.  The water to our home is shut off and will be twice tomorrow, so I am hoping to get test tatting done since dishes and laundry are not possible.
Have a great day and may you have tatting time!!  :)

Ummm....don't look too close-PLEASE

This is another test tat.  It is an earring.  I tatted it very quickly and it shows terribly when looking close, so please don't.  ;)   
 but I used a different thread.
Correction....it goes with the blue pendant in this post:
Sorry about the mistake.  
Tatting done for the day.  
Hopefully time to test tat tomorrow while a friend stays overnight after surgery.
Night all!  :)
