I am working on lots of things when crafting  lately.  I am working to get my Triangle Triangle  Insert done....one triangle at a time. I thought at this point if it was green it would  be a Christmas tree. ;) Lizbeth size 40 Orange Crush and Pineapple  Parfait. My own design. And a motif at a time added to my tablecloth. The  lower part is where I am currently working-only 3  motifs needed on the left to finish this row. An  antique motif and my design. And, I started a Christmas present for our 100 yr. old.  Hopefully it will be a beautiful co ..read more

I tatted a large Ice Drop and turned it into a  suncatcher for me. I love being able to see the glitter through the gem. I tatted another Ice Drop still trying to empty shuttles. And, another.  I now have 6 empty shuttles-Yay!!!  :D Below is the first actual micro-macrame project I  completed.  I used a 1mm cotton cord and found out  it need to be a waxed cord which is much smaller, but  I like it for a first.  ;) And back to tatting, I am tatting a doily designed by  Elzbieta Jurzysta.  I am hoping it will cheer a friend  who hasn't ..read more

 I haven't been tatting much and needed a bit of  quick tatting to get inspired.  So, I tatted Ice Drops.  The first center gem has a mirrored pearl look light  blue color which looks fantastic with Lizbeth Arctic  Blues in size 40.  No pattern, I just tatted.  ;) The second has a mirrored clear green center gem  which looks great with Lizbeth Sea Island Citrus  in size 40.  Again, no pattern, just tatting.  This one  wasn't finished until it was dark out so the picture  does not do it justice, it's beautiful!! ;) I h ..read more

 I did read all of the ones on my list, but could only comment on one. Just want to say that everything looks great and I hope you all have a wonderful week ..read more

I am still here and still tatting.  Here are some  items I had to get done before craft shows and  Christmas. This cross ended up at a craft show and was  purchased very quickly, so next year I will  have crosses at my craft shows.  ;) This is My Portion Cross by Elaine P. Gan in  Lizbeth size 40 Purple Iris Fusion. My mother-in-law ordered this necklace  for her apartment manager. Lizbeth size 40  Arctic Waters. My mother-in-law also ordered these earrings  to give to my sister-in-law.  The pattern is  Yarnplayer's Giddy earrings ..read more

I have a very dear sweet and special friend who loves  pink and I just had to make her a pink cross. I love the color  in this thread!! I had to make it a very large cross because she is so special. I can't wait to take it to her a week from Sunday!! :) First picture just the cross, second picture to show size on printer paper. Tatted in size 10 Artiste thread from Hobby Lobby,  color # HD0024.  I am not usually a fan of pink,  but I really like this pink! This is Mary Konior's Large Cross from  Tatting with Visual Patterns. I have tatted one pair of Christma ..read more

We had an AWESOME Tollway Tatters Gathering!! 12 Tatters from across America, Canada, and Australia. Lots of different projects, great tatting and chatting!! And, I tatted 4 motifs on my tablecloth in that time.  From my estimation I need approx. 14 more rows to  make it reach from side to side(7 rows on each side).  It takes me approx. 1/2 hour to tat each motif and  knowing that it takes approx. 17 hours to tat each  side currently.  ;) Hope you have a great tatting filled weekend!! :)   ..read more

 A long time ago Muskaan tatting these beautiful flowers: https://tipsaroundthehome.blogspot.com/2018/07/what-do-you-think.html  and I really wanted to try them, and I finally got around to it. I didn't follow her examples exactly, and I ended  up using different sizes of thread, but I really like  how they are turning out! :) I am tatting these as part of a Christmas present which  will be shown when completed. But....this first set is no longer with me.  I was waiting for  my father-in-law while he was having cataract surgery and  the nurse came a ..read more
