...Hark The Herald Angel

I just finished putting this lil ornament together. I am delighted with the result!


This pattern is 
Sheila Heneise's Angel with Paisley Wings
and I created the edging. The angel is backed by red felt.




This doily turned out so lovely, the colors did too! I used the "Arches" doily pattern by Yarnplayer!
I used Lizbeth 20,  #130 ISLAND BREEZE and  #658 Ocean Turquoise Lt.
This was fun to do! Thanks Yarnplayer for sharing this beauty!

I am glad to have a picture of this for I will miss looking at it. Soon, it will be on it's way to a dear friend in South Korea! 


Another exciting event! Yesterday I was one out of five lucky recipient of a giveaway! At innocentia's, there was a giveaway for kids clothing patterns from DMK Easywear Patterns. I am pleased to have received the e-patterns of Reversible Tunic Top/Dress pattern! Thank You Citra! Thank You, DMK!

Isn't this sooooo dang adorable? It is sure will be on my two Lil Angels!

Thank you all for your compliments!

Dewi, yes it is called arches.. the design pattern was created by "Yarnplayer" (http://yarnplayertats.blogspot.com/2009/01/arches-doily.html)

I find that the more tatting I do, the better at it I am getting but believe me.. I had to undo some stitches and redo! I guess that is part of the learning process!

I am excited that I have my reversible tunic pattern all ready.. now I need to organise my craft room to find my fabrics and get sewing! Thank you for the giveaway!

...A New Book That Surged My Tatting Fingers On!

 I have few books for tatting instructions ...how to Celtic, how to needle, how to shuttle and numerous pages of patterns for tatting from online, doily this, edging that, motif those. I wanted something more or different to do. After Christmas I batted my puppy dog eyes (hubby says they are) at Hubby for a book that I wanted for Christmas but did not get. He faltered (I am so bad, I knew he would) and said for me to order it. I ordered it and it arrived sometime last week. I have been tatting my fingers off with glee! After all, this girl here received lots of threads and shuttles for Christmas... from that sweet Hubby! The book that I had to have was,    A TATTER'S WORKBOOK, edited by J&K. Kliot Approximately 172 patterns, 112 pages. Includes corner and straight edgings, medallions, round doily borders,collar border. This is a most unusual and fascinating collection of tatting patterns as recorded in a New England notebook by an anonymous tatter in the 1920's. The pa

...To Chain or Not To Chain!

I have been tatting my heart out since the Palmetto Tatting Guild's Tat Days this past year. I have come a long ways since. I have researched on tattings and tried many patterns... I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi
