Tropical Punch Beaded Flowers in progress!! :)

For anyone wondering how beautiful the Beaded Flowers are in progress...

here is the first round done.  

I think I have enough time tonight to get the outer round on both too.  :)

I think I am addicted to these!!!

Pattern here:  http://cmhandmade.blogspot.com.es/2013/07/pattern-for-beaded-flower.html

And no, I haven't just sat and tatted all day(although, that sounds nice!).

I have actually gotten laundry and dishes, and even Bible study in, 

besides a few other things here and there.

Hope you had time to tat!!!  :)

Have a great night!!  :)

Still tatting along

Well, this round isn't sitting well.  It's very tight and is cupping the doily.  I am hoping that when I get time(next week) I will be able to block it into submission, or else I will have to cut and re-tat trying to figure out how to make it lie flat.  

 This next picture is the best one I could get to show the bad cupping.

I hope you are all getting tatting time in!!

Have a great day!!!  :)

More tatting done this weekend

I tatted this beaded lanyard bracelet from this pattern: https://sbspokane.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/beaded-lanyard.pdf

in size 40 Lizbeth Rainbow Taffy and colored beads. I just need to finish the end and add the clasp.

 And I finished the other pair of starflowers in size 40 Lizbeth Boysenberry Dk.

Thank you to all who are wishing me a more restful couple of weeks.  I will let you know that this week might be crazy too as I spend time preparing for our 30th Anniversary and the renewing of our wedding vows this coming Sunday(although, our anniversary is on Monday the 25th).  We are sharing this occasion with the seniors we teach on Sunday night and will have our normal "service" right after.

I hope your week is blessed and that you have time for tatting!!!  :)

Progress and rest today

After the week I have had tatting is like a vacation!!!!

This first picture is of the very large snowman suncatcher(well...the belly of the snowman).

It's going to take quite some time, but this is an awesome start for me.

This next picture is of the doily I started this week.  

This is my progress with the third round just tatted this morning. 

 And....I also got the fourth round done today.

I hope your Saturday is blessed with rest and tatting also!!!  :)

Some joy in a rough week

First bit of joy(looks messy) is the start of the next doily I am tatting

(it's another secret-hopefully not to be found out this time!).

This is from Tatting Patterns by Mary Konior.  

This is the most expensive book I have ever purchased, but I am so glad I did!!! 

This doily is the Hostess Set Centerpiece.  This is tatted in size 10 Lizbeth Turquoise Twist.

It is in desperate need of blocking!!!  But I wait till the end cuz' I am going to wrinkle it up any way. 

Next is most exciting and the major joy this week.  I splurged with my Christmas money and bought this awesome gorgeous necklace from Yarnplayer.  Notice necklace is neck lace???

This is so much more beautiful in real life, and I think it's the most elegant thing I own!!!

Hoping not to make Diane too jealous knowing her love of blue too(smiles).  :)

Well...I hope your week has been far better than mine and that you have had plenty of wonderful tatting time!!!  :)

Tatting accomplished over the weekend

Using up thread on mini beaded starflowers.

 Only 1/4 of this next round left on the snowman(I know....it's not a snowman yet-plenty of work to actually make a snowman--especially without snow).  :)

Oh, and today I started another doily.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!!!  :)

Hope you have a wonderful week and get some tatting time!!!  :)
