Tatting from the heart

A dear friend told me one day when I couldnt think of anything to tat to just tat from the heart and see what happens. I am about to finish the second row and already I have ideas for the third. I dont know how big or small it will be. I am using Lizbeth size 2o in Butterfly Breeze.

Amusement Doily in Vineyard Harvest-The Vacation

Well one more row to go but I am tiring of this color right now. With the broken thumb it now takes 3 times longer to tat than if it were not.

I havent blocked it yet so it is a bit bendy.

I havent decided what I will begin next, I was considering a handkercheif but not 100% decisive yet.

My thumb aches here and there, and I have been taking my splint off from time to time, but I always manage bumping it and then wishing I had left the blasted thing on.

Amusement Doily in Vineyard Harvest-The Beginning

Here is the beginning row of Amusement Doily in Lizbeth's size 20 "Vineyard Harvest".
I so now enjoy tatting with a shuttle rather than with a needle. I think the stitches are much tighter and neater looking.

Almost finished!

One last row to go!

Tatting with a broken thumb

This is me trying to tat with a broken thumb after a "Tambourine Accident". I am tatting my "Bloom's" Doily in Lizbeth's size 20 "Purple Splendor".

Happy Birthday and Welcome Baby Ozzy

This is a picture of our new baby Cockatiel Ozzy. He is according to the experts about a week old. Smokey Joe is his Dad and is being very protective of him!

I finally did it!

Wow, I cant believe its finally complete! I burned the midnight oil last night finishing it and then hubby finally found my iron (it was where I said it was the whole time.......) and I blocked it and now it rests proudly on my table along side my recliner.

I feel so very accomplished being that this is my first large project!

I wonder what I will do next?
