Another WIP


Here is something I tatted today while trying to keep my calm with my 13 year old home for the weekend. It hasnt been the most quiet weekend and it has been quite stressful. Tatting really helps my stress levels as well as the comfort, support and advice of those closest to me. I hope to finish this one by tomorrow. I think I will keep it to remind me that even during my darkest hours I can get through anything with patience, love and support.
This is the Small Cross from Mary Konior's Tatting with Visual Patterns in Lizbeth size 20 Countryside.

Spring Motif


This little ornament was needle tatted with Lizbeths size 20 in Springtime I think. I have so many colors I cant keep track of them. Cure for that? Get more thread!

With deepest thanks....


Much thanks to LaCossette and to LadyShuttleMaker for the beautiful shuttle and HDT silk thread on Etsy! They came so very quickly to eager hands and have been used to make this little motif which is going on my tatting box.

Been Tatting up a storm!


Havent been on the computer lately (more time for tatting), plus we are going through a rough spot in our lives right now. But to keep my sanity I have been tatting a few bits n bobs.
This little motif is the Square Tatted Doily #2 from free tatting patterns and is done in Lizbeth size 20 Confetti.
It reminds me of a stained glass window kind of...
