Another bangle bracelet suncatcher

I love creating suncatchers!!!!  :)

That make me happy and I love the 

sparkle!!!
This is tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Island 

Breeze.  Our daughter picked the pink 

acrylic ring to draw more of the pink 

color out since it seems dominated by 

the blue.  I think it was a good choice.

We get to start having our church groups 

together again.  We are outside for both 

groups for the first time and the temperature 

is supposed to be 92 degrees F.  Please pray 

that it's not too hot or humid, especially for 

our seniors!!  I would cancel, but they have 

been alone so long I don't think they would 

forgive me!!!
Have a wonderful weekend and happy tatting!

:)

 

Suncatcher time

I had an order for a rainbow suncatcher 

so it's done and gone.
This one is a bit different, but then again, 

so far I think only 2 are the same.  ;)

And, I wanted to tat one of my acrylic 

"donuts" into the center of a suncatcher.

I went simple and I really like how it 

turned out.
Both suncatchers are tatted in size 40 

Lizbeth threads. The one below is Sea 

Island Citrus.

I hope you all have a wonderful week 

and get your tatting in!! :)

 

I think I have tatting ADHD....

Tempted by Pamela Myers and Diane(Lace Lovin' 

Librarian)!!!  They are tatting around "donuts" and 

they are creating such beautiful items that I got 

tempted!!!  I ordered some donuts online.  These are 

glass, and my first ones I didn't really pay attention 

to size and these are really tiny.  I used size 80 thread 

and tiny seed beads.

It's so cute!  :)
I have my shuttle(in the same color scheme) next 

to it for size comparison.

And below, I placed a nickel next to it.  When it 

sits on the nickel they are basically the same size.

And I got Millefiori donuts(about the size of a 

quarter) and tried one today.  I used size 40 thread.
It's such an autumn color scheme.  The donut is 

actually transparent, but I couldn't get a good 

picture while holding it up.

And...look what finally arrived after the mail took 

a scenic detour!!!  Yarnplayer's new Solar Flare!!!
I can't wait to figure out what to tat with it!!!

I have also been tatting another rainbow suncatcher.

I goofed and somehow ended up with the wrong 

purple(compared to all those I have tatted before), 

but it's gonna stay!

And, a few more flowers on my Spring Doily.  I 

am tatting 1 at a time(which has ended up 4 in a day, 

or 2 in a day, but at least one here and there!).

Well, I hope you are all very blessed and getting 

your tatting in!!! :)

 

The slowest Spring Doily ever????

Well, I have tatted flower #9!!!
I am so slow!! I am still on round 13. I am giving

 it full attention, but haven't tatted more than 4 in 

one sitting yet.  That's ok, I am not in a race and 

I want it to look great!!  ;)

I hope you are all doing well on whatever you are 

tatting and that you have a tatting filled weekend!!!

 

A little more bargain shopping

This first picture is of the items I got while out 

yesterday for another medical test in the "big" city.  ;)
I found these cute mermaid wall decorations on clearance 

at Hobby Lobby(of course, where else??).  They will be 

a birthday gift for our younger granddaughter when she 

comes next weekend for her first official mermaid swim 

with all the mermaids in our daughter's mermaid pod.
Then I found these wonderful cross charms and have a 

project that I hope they will "spice" up with their great 

sparkle!  I needed more gold earring hooks and since they 

were 50% off I got them(oh the crosses were too). Next, 

I have a friend who wondered how big the rings get that 

I use for my suncatchers.  The large one shown here is the 

largest they have at Hobby Lobby and it's 19 inches. I got 

the smaller ones to have on hand for some 6 inch sun-

catchers.

Below shows the rings together for size- 4,5,6,8,10 & 19 

inch rings.  The pen tip points to my 8 inch.

Here is how they look a little more centered.  ;)

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

 

Slowly paying full attention!!!!

I am NOT rushing this row!!!  I have gotten 5 repeats 

tatted and am very slowly making my way around!

I have some new "toys" to play with and have made 

a start.  I was inspired by the beautiful tatting from 

Lacy Treasures on facebook:

 https://www.facebook.com/LacyTreasuresTatting
I won't show pictures because I told her since it's 

her design and she has allowed me to tat a similar 

idea that I won't put it online, but go check out her 

beautiful work.  She is from Alaska.
Here are the "toys" I spoke of.  Earrings with rings 

to attach  tatting to and some beads for a project I 

started way back in the hotel and only tatted one.  So, 

there will be new things in my future--hopefully!!!

And, our daughter and I went out yesterday on 

and errand and since my in-laws were not home 

we went and visited Hobby Lobby and the Dollar 

Tree.  Above are the Hobby Lobby purchases all 

were 50% off.  Below are my Dollar Tree purchases 

of course all $1.
I have packs of blank cards to use as thinking of you 

cards to brighten our Sunday seniors' days!!!

I found these new to me Life Saver packs!!  Raspberry, 

Pineapple, and Watermelon!!!

And Precious Moments(I love!!!) cute character 

coloring books!

And, then when we got home I received a DVD I 

have waited a year for the price to come down on!
It was $50 used on Amazon for so long and it came 

down to around $10 and I bought it right away!!

And, our daughter received her package and 

it was 2 "smart" hula hoops.  She is a larger 

girl and needed 2 to make one for her, but it 

left enough for 1 for me.  So, we used these 

odd hula hoops for some fun!!! Mine is in the box 

below that one.  ;)

Well, now that I have bored you with our fun day, 

I hope you have an awesome tatting filled day!!! :)

 

Back to tatting!

I haven't tatted as much lately.  Lots of 

stresses, and I didn't want to tat while 

stressed and mess things up!!!
So, the tatting that I have done has been 

adding a motif at a time to the tablecloth.

I finally got this mermaid suncatcher done!

I am so happy with it.  The design will need 

work cuz' it sags a little in the center, but it's 

ok.  I love how pretty it is in size 40 Lizbeth 

Coral Splash(my friend, Denise's new favorite!)!!
This suncatcher is 6 inches.

I wish the cameras could have captured all the 

beauty while in the sunlight!  The center glows 

as you can see, and the tiny yellow beads show 

up, but the large beads don't show their brilliant 

glow as much as they do in real life!!
Either way, I am pleased with it being another 

original!

Hope the start of your week has gone well, 

and that you are tatting along!! :)
