A Bracelet Gift

This is Jane's Bookmark made into a bracelet.  

I definitely need more practice on this one!  I had troubles keeping the split rings close to the other rings, and I ended without making sure I didn't have picots on the large rings(which came in handy to cover up the final ring which didn't work well).

It's tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Black with tiny gold beads.  The "chain" of jump rings is my way of making it adjustable.

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

More accomplished on the doily

Yesterday I got just over half of this round done, and this morning I finished it.  

Now, on to lunch, housework, Bible study, and then maybe start the next round.  

Oh....if you look too close you will see 2 white bows on the blue round....

I missed 2 joins and have to fix them yet.  

Hope you have a wonderful and tatfully productive day!!!  :)

Update on the doily I started as a secret gift....and another cross

Ok, here is the doily so far that was a secret tatting gift, and is now prayerfully going to get done in time to give to my mother-in-law and her hubby for Christmas.  I believe there are 3 more rounds-2 more easier white ones, and one more of the flower shaped navy blue round(which takes TIME).  There are mistakes throughout this, but I am praying they are not visible.  This first picture was taken with the flash.

 This second without the flash.

 And tonight I tatted another of Elaine P. Gan's Victory Cross.

This one is in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden(and just as small as the last-quarter sized).  

It's for another senior lady.

I am hoping to keep myself in as much tatting motion as possible to finish that doily on time!

Hope you have a wonderful tatting time!!!  :)

Test Tatting for Elaine P. Gan again

This absolutely fabulous little cross is from Elaine's new book due to come out soon.

It's her Victory Cross test tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Raspberry Pink Med. and Tropical Punch.

As you can see it's quite small in size 40.  It didn't take long at all to tat(maybe 1/2 hour to an hour).

I love the colors together just like when I mix the Raspberry Pink Med. with Fruit Fizz.  :)

We are expecting quite a snowstorm tonight through Sunday or even Monday they said.  Looks like an average of 4 inches of snow(and there isn't even a trace on the ground or in the air yet).

Had plans to get together with other tatters, but in the interest of safety that has been changed.....looks like I may get to spend some of tomorrow tatting and with the family(which has been a blessing for a day already).  :)

Have a great, safe and warm tatting weekend!!!  :)

2015 25 Motif Challenge # 9

This is Corina Meyfeldt's 1 Shuttle Bracelet, Beads All Around, pattern here:  http://cmhandmade.blogspot.com.es/2014/11/1-shuttle-bracelet-beads-all-around.html

It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash with larger light green beads.  It doesn't lay flat, but I like it!  I think I will use it as a decoration since it's too short for a bracelet.

The hardest part are the large rings.  As you can see, mine are not smooth.

Not sure I can make my 25 Challenge this year, but I am trying.

Still working on the doily.

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

Another cross

This cross is Jane's Bookmark Cross link here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1iu8FAEjaevbGd4R3ZRU1A0VDA/edit

It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Rainbow Splash. It's for our current oldest senior(93) on Sunday night.

I tatted this Sunday morning.

I hope you have an awesome day and get to enjoy some tatting too!!  :)

Another cross today already.

This is the Heritage Cross from Tatted Bookmarks Needle & Shuttle book edited by Barbara Foster.

Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Wildflower Garden.

This cross is just a bit smaller than the others. 

And my husband 'TRIED" to lay claim to it(guess I need to make him one.

Happy Tatting!!  :)
