I am afraid to fully admit that I am an addict!!

I am trying to empty a Tatsy shuttle and it seems 

endless.  When I started this Ice Drop I thought 

I might run out of thread, but nope, there is still 

thread on the shuttle.  Oh well, I am trying!

This is just a basic Ice Drop tatted in size 20 

Lizbeth Rainbow Splash with an extra row 

of chains around it and joined to each picot.

Have a wonderful tatting day!!! :)

Necklace journey???

The fabulous suggestion to tat samples helped to 

choose the color for this necklace-Honey Drizzle.

I just made up the design.

 Here is the back.  Now to work on the chain.

 But.....what should I do with the other samples???

Find another necklace which goes well and embellish 

it with tatting too, of course!  So...here is Ecru.

 And here is Tropical Punch.  ;)

At least I didn't have to waste the samples!!

I might tat something to go in the open 

circle on the last one.  ;)

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!!! :)

I just gotta show this!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

My friend, Cassandra, is a wonderful artist!!!

She is currently taking a class working with clay and 

today I saw her facebook post and was stunned!!!!!

She knows about my tatting and it just might have 

been what inspired this(I haven't talked to her about 

it yet).  I absolutely love it!!!  I am pretty sure she 

free handed the design with tools.  When she gets this 

done I am going to see if I can buy it from her!!!!!

Hope your day is going well!!!  

I am working on the necklace, the front side is 

complete and I have about 5 repeats of the back done.

Happy Tatting!!!!!!!!!!  :)

Decision made

I believe the Honey Drizzle wins.  I started with the 

Ecru, but it's size 20 and although I think it looks 

fabulous, the Honey Drizzle seems to bring out more 

of a personality to me.

I think this is the design I will be using and joining 

from the back at the base of the rings.

 Here is the Ecru.

 Here is the Tropical Punch.

I have other necklaces which will use up the 2 I 

don't use here.  ;)

 This Ice Drop was tatted and shown(I believe) before 

Christmas. Yellow gem and size 20 Lizbeth 

Rainbow Splash.

 Orange gem, same thread.

 Light blue gem, same thread.

All Diane's designs.

Well, at least I had some tatting to show!! :)

Have a wonderful tat-filled day!!! :)

Ice Drops continue......

This is a basic Ice Drop with extra picots.

Tatted in Lizbeth size 40 Purple Splendor.

  The back was pretty too, so I took a picture.  ;)

Emptied 3 shuttles and gonna try to tat some samples 

 of the 3 colors I am trying to decide between for the 

necklace.

Happy Tatting everyone!!! :)

Looking for opinions

I have this shell necklace and earring set and I want to 

add tatting to it.  Our daughter got me these awesome 

beads which go beautifully with it so, I figure they will 

end up in the chain of the necklace.

I have 3 thread choices that look close.

 First is Honey Drizzle(our daughter says this would 

be her choice).

 Next is Ecru, which to me seems to tame the pink.

 And last is Tropical Punch which seems to have all 

the colors(and more pink).

Please let me know what you think.  ;)

Have a great day!! :)

Another Ice Drop

This is Nicola Bowersox's pattern from Ice Drop Addicts 

on facebook.  I left off the outer round because I was 

running out of thread.  I tatted it in size 40 Lizbeth 

Wildflower Garden with adjusted stitch counts.

Have a wonderful day of tatting!!! :)
