I cant believe I did it!

I have wanted to do this pattern for so very long but never knew how to do split chains, split rings and floating rings and thought they would just be too hard to try.
The other day, I decided to sit down and try to learn these techniques. In ONE day, I learned (with much thanks to Linda Davies' YouTube videos) all 3!!!
With much anticipation and excitement I was off to a great start and with a little frustration, alot of patience and support from my friends and family I DID IT!!!
I learned the techniques on Sunday, and started the bookmark on Monday morning and finished it today. This is done in Lizbeth size 20 in color 654. This is the Tardis Bookmark by Anne B.

I am giving this bookmark to my daughter Diamond as she is a big Dr. Who fan and she was just recently diagnosed with Glaucoma and already has a reduced field of vision. We are incorporating Braille (which hubby is already learning due to his severity of visual impairment from Glaucoma) into her homeschooling studies and are trying to keep things on a positive swing as best as we can.

Another Bookmark

Here is another bookmark. This is done with size 10 thread. I dont remember what the brand name is or even where I got it from; its just in my general stash of size 10 threads I have tucked away that I dont use very much anymore.

T.U.I.-Tatting Under the Influence....Tatting and Medication Do NOT mix!

Here is Ric Rac Bookmark from Tatting Miscellany. It is done in Lizbeth Berry Burst in size 20.

I attempted to tat this while on heavy pain medication from oral surgery I had earlier this week and suffering from a dry socket and an abcess. Proof that tatting and medication do NOT mix!

Right now I look like I am smuggling a cantaloupe in my right cheek, but hopefully it will heal soon.

I hope my next one looks a bit better (as well as my face)

If at first you dont succeed......

I finally decided a couple weeks ago to attempt at trying the Mary Konior "Spinning Wheel Glass Mat" pattern. After having to start over 5 times I was ready to give up!

I then made one final attempt and this is the result.

This is done in Lizbeth's newest color "Autum Spice" in size 20.
