Granddaughter invasion

Well, our older granddaughter decided to take up 

tatting again.  She re-learned quickly and has rings, 

picots, joins and chains achieved.

She wanted to take her tatting home and hopefully 

teach her friend too, so I had to come up with a way 

for her to keep it all together and organized.

 I believe her mother gave us these little tubs with 

candy in for Christmas several years ago, and I kept 

them to use later somehow.  Well, it works great!!

And the lids snaps on securely!!  ;)

Well, after a hard maybe half hour of tatting.....

 and after a hard half hour of being bored while 

grandma and sister worked on tatting.....

Well, it's time to head toward their home(YIKES-

don't tell them, they are not happy about going home!)

Have a wonderful day of tatting and hopefully love!! :)

Yesterday...

Yesterday I had to take a friend to the pain clinic 

for her appointment.  These appointments are 

usually around 2 hours or so.  Well, I had packed 

up my doily to take along and tat, but, I grabbed 

my purse which was sitting right next to the tatting 

and walked out assured that I was prepared and on 

time.  Yep....NOPE!!!  I got there to pick her up 

and realized that I had forgotten my tatting.  Oh 

well, life goes on.  She says, oh no! you will have 

to just sit there the whole time(totally disappoint-

ed for me).  I assured her I would survive.

Well, when she got called back to the doctor I 

saw a lady knitting and moved over to a seat

near her and asked what she was knitting.  She 

said it was a baby blanket for the local pregnancy 

center.  I told her I would be tatting, but I made 

a mistake and forgot it at home.  Well, she asked 

about tatting and was really interested, when I 

remembered I had and Ice Drop( right one in 

the picture below), and I took it out and she really

like it so I gave it to her.

She was so surprised that I would give it to her, 

she stopped and then grabbed these beautiful little

scissors out of her bag and said here.  I said, but 

you will need those, she said, don't worry, I have 

another pair(and showed me the other pair).

She was so sweet! So, now I have new tatting 

scissors!!  ;)

I have gotten another angel done for the orders 

I have.  And I am continuing to tat those twin 

doilies.

Have a wonderful day!!! :)

Another test tatted angel

This is Elaine P. Gan's Guardian Angel.

Test tatted in size 80 she is super small.

 Here is the Guardian and the Cathedral Angels 

side by side, both in size 80.

Will tat another Guardian in a larger size.

Hope your day is super blessed!!! :)

A Tropical Punch Angel

Lizbeth size 80 Tropical Punch.  I love 

the bright beauty of this angel!!

Have a wonderfully tat-tilled day!!! :)

Needed a cross

I needed a cross tatted for another senior, 

and I found 2 already tatted sitting aside 

so I have 3 for seniors who haven't gotten 

a cross from me yet.

 The twin doilies have row 16 done.  

I took the picture to show how they curl up like a 

bowl after each row is tatted.  And then have to 

be made to lie flat( I just push and stretch a little 

and sometimes lay something on top overnight).

 Here they are next to my Cathedral Doily to 

compare row 16 to row 26.

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

Angels, angels, and more angels to come!!!

Well, I now have orders for 8 angels.

I want a variety of colors for people to 

choose from, so the 3rd color of angel is 

here:  Lizbeth Cotton Candy(size 80).

 Here is Summer Fun, and Cotton Candy angels.

 And, here is size 40 Blue Ice angel.

I am busy working on angels and doilies yet!!!

I am also trying to figure out packaging for the 

angels, and if I should stiffen them.......

Well, too much thinking and tatting going on!

Have a wonderful day!!! :)

Tatting(me) and fishing(him)....

Ok, so....I am working on tatting another angel 

while out with hubby fishing.  This one is tatted 

in size 40 Lizbeth Blue Ice.

 I finished it at the first fishing spot and compared 

it here to the size 80 Lizbeth Summer Fun.

 And here was our first fishing view.  First I was 

told it was a lake, then later I was told it was a river, 

but....it looked like a lake to me, and there were 

tons of boats and jet skis out today!!!

 The greenery on the left in the picture above was a 

small area and so I went on the left side of it and 

took the picture below.  Let me say, I wish I could 

have taken a picture of the whole 180 degree scene 

it was beautiful!!!  :)

I have tatted since I got home and have over half 

way around one of the twin doilies round 16 done.

Have a wonderfully blessed Sunday and happy tatting!!
