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.

Needle Tatted Cross

Just wanted to see if my needle tatting skills were still there after finding out how much I love shuttle tatting.

This is done in what I call my "ugly" or "practice" thread. I dont know the exact color, I just call it Seafoam. It is size 10 that was purchased at "Wally World" (I think).

Mad Science HDT Gone Wild!

Here is a little motif that some day may be added to, to make a nice doily, or just left as is as a nice motif or coaster. This is done in size 10 and the color is "Mad Science Blue and Green" HDT by KrystleDawne. I love how wild looking the mottled effect really shows up! I couldnt decide whether it looks nicer against the black or the white background!

Couple of Bookmarks

Here are a couple of cute bookmarks I made. The first one is a butterfly bookmark (sorry, I dont know who the creator is, just a pattern that was written out for me). The second is the Beginners Choice Bookmark from Barbara Foster's Tatted Bookmarks Needle and Shuttle. I needletatted them both. The Butterfly is done in Lizbeth size 20 in Carribean and the Beginners Choice is done in Lizbeth size 20 in Razzle Dazzle.

Small Cross....Finis

Well I completed Mary Konior's pattern for the Small Cross on Monday and I am feeling a bit better after a very stressful day yesterday. I am so grateful to the patient loving support of those closest to me not only for the support I have received, but for also teaching me how to tat with a shuttle. I truly love tatting and it is so healing and relaxing when the whole world has gone to hell in a handbasket.
