Cathedral doily update

Row 26 done and it's about 14 1/2 inches across.

Again, it is being tatted in size 40 Lizbeth threads.

 The twins are ready for row 16(top of the picture).

I think I am making ok progress on them.

 We have friends who have gone fishing with my 

hubby for years, but one has cancer and isn't able 

to go any longer, and the other passed away last 

week, so....I felt it would be good to go keep my 

hubby company from now on, or until the Lord 

sends another fishing buddy for him.  Here is the 

view from yesterday morning.

 It was quite windy, but he caught two fish.  The 

first one didn't want to stick around when caught 

so I didn't get a picture, but....

 I got this one, and...it was the larger one.

 I was able to get some of row 26 on the doily above 

tatted while out there, and then when I got home I 

started another angel.  This one is in size 40(the 

others have been size 80) Lizbeth Blue Ice.  I have

orders for 3 more angels, and, if another lady likes 

the Blue Ice she said she will order some.  So, 

now I have the twin doilies and 6(so far) angels 

to have ready by Dec. 1.  Thankfully that is a little 

ways away, but it will come quickly!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!

Hope you have all had time to tat!!! :)

Still busy!!!

I am still busy tatting the twin doilies and have row 

15 done on one and starting on the next.  I am also 

still working on the 3 angels, but I have 3 done in 

the same color so I am ready to move on to another 

color.
I really needed a change of color and design so I 

decided an Ice Drop was a quick enough diversion.

So, this is Nicola Bowersox's pattern from Ice Drop 

Addicts page on facebook.  All in red!!!

 The other evening I spotted these fabulous pink & 

blue stripes in the eastern sky......

 and this gorgeous sunset in the western sky!!  It's 

amazing how the sky can look so different looking 

out one side of the house, and then the other!!!

I will post doily updates soon, but figured I have 

posted plenty of the same thing for awhile, and 

since they are just rows and rows of chains I thought 

I would just give a written update.  ;)

Have a wonderful 4th of July and fun tatting!!! :)

Tollway tatting fun!!! :) & updates

I was able to join all the wonderful ladies at 

Tollway Tatters again.  We had a great time, and...

there was actually plenty of tatting getting done.  ;)

 Diane(Queen of Ice Drops) is working on Ice Drop 

animals-test tatting for a new book Wally Sosa is 

putting together.  They are so cute!!!  :)

 Updates:  I am still working on Cathedral doilies!!

The twins are at row 12(well, the one on the left is 

is almost done with row 13) of 33. 

The larger doily on the right is now done with row 

25 of 33. In size 40 this is getting pretty good 

sized as you can see by the piece of paper it's on.

 I also have 1 of 3 angels done for an order.

I am going to do my best to have several colors 

made up so if she may choose if she wants them 

the same of different colors.

Those are our daughter's angels in the 

cabinet behind.

Have a blessed day and may you 

enjoy some tatting too!!! :)

Angel pattern

Elaine is selling her Cathedral Angel pattern on 

Craftsy:

https://www.craftsy.com/other/patterns/cathedral-angel-tatting-/608378

Yes, I have been tatting.

I am still working on the twin Cathedral 

Doilies, and my Cathedral Doily, as well 

as 3 Cathedral Angels.

The top left Rainbow Taffy Cathedral 

Doily has row 12 done, the top right 

has row 11 done, the little tatted piece

on the right side is the start to the first 

angel's wings, and my Cathedral Doily 

is on row 24.

Remember, these are Elaine P. Gan's 

designs.

It's all a bit slow lately, but I continue 

tatting onward!!

Have a wonderful day, hopefully filled 

with tatting!!! :)

A Test-Tatted Angel

Same angel 3 different surroundings.

She is tatted in size 80 Lizbeth Summer Fun.

This is another Elaine P. Gan design.

She's named the Cathedral Angel since 

she is made from the Cathedral Doily design. 

She's about 2 inches tall.

 And she turned out pretty good for a first try.  

Still working on the twin doilies only about 1/2 

way around 1 on row 11.

Have a wonderful day!!  :)

Twins!!

The 2 Rainbow Taffy Cathedral Doilies are at 

row 10 now each.  Making progress.

 Below, I had gone to Hobby Lobby as a way to 

spend time driving our newest vehicle which we 

just got.  I found these pendants and beads at 50 % 

off and decided to buy them(there were only 3 of 

each).

 Below is a picture on the printer paper 

sideways to show the size of them.

 And, these pretty beads came home too, 

also 50% off.  Funny thing is that in person 

you see mostly pink, but in the photo you 

see mostly blue.  Wondering what they 

will embellish.....

Oh, if you want to see the vehicle...

it's older(that's the way I prefer them), but it's 

large enough to haul the 8ft. tables for the Sunday 

morning outdoor ministry, and the chairs and every 

thing else needed.  I am so thankful because the car 

didn't have enough room and could not haul the tables 

or chairs.  Feeling truly blessed because this is a 

miracle for us!!!

Well, I hope you have a wonderful weekend of tatting, 

I am taking a break(but that is HARD when you 

really want to tat!!!).

Oh well, back to making lasagna for tomorrows 

ministry meal.

Happy Tatting everyone!! :)
