Pair of socks knitted

No really! It is a pair! The other one is just still on my foot!

Some beaded earrings

Here's some of my favorite beadwork I've done.
The long ones are pretty heavy and so I don't wear them often, but I like wearing the leaves and I get a lot of compliments on how sparkly they are.

Been busy and also sick....

I've been tatting som although I haven't been well.
I was just diagnosed with Episcleritis and also Glaucoma. I thought I had PinkEye and went to get it checked and I was told the Episcleritis was from having Lupus and she saw damage to my optic nerve resulting from increased eye pressure likely from my out of control Diabetes. I am awaiting my appointment with my Endo as I am being recommended for the insulin pump. THAT I am happy about!!! I know I will feel much better on the pump! I can't wait!

Back to tatting- here are some bits n bobs I've been twiddling with...
This one is Miranda's Angels In The Snow (Golly I love this pattern so much I memorized it!) done in size 20 Peacock Blues.
Next is YarnPlayers Points In Time in size 20 Everything Nice by Jess!
I have tatted several more but as exhaustion has been getting the better of me that will be all for now...

Excitement to disappointment

Going through my thread stash I found the last of my skein of Krystledawnes Mad Science I had put away for a special project. I just knew the perfect pattern for it; Jon Yusof's Merriment Doily! Eagerly I loaded the shuttles and tatted the entire afternoon away when much to my shock, disappointment and sadness I realized that I only had enough thread for HALF of the pattern! My heart is absolutely broken as I have really fallen in love with the ease and beauty of this pattern. I now don't know what to do with this beautiful little treasure! Any suggestions?

Another Motif for the 25 Motif Challenge

While sitting around on my sore butt from my wheelchair being broke I finally tatted another motif.
This is Kira's star (cant remember the designer) in "Everything Nice" by Jess! and dark purple in Lisbeth size 20.

Another Day, Another Tat

Mary Konior's Small Cross in "Fancy Fields" by Jess! from Tatilicious.

In the wee hours, the impossible becomes a reality!

Couldn't sleep last night (I am under a great deal of stress lately) so I thought I would tat a bit. I have tried this pattern before only to give up from frustration. Well, (with a few mistakes) I nailed it finally!!!

I am moderately pleased with myself on accomplishing this pattern as I had copied it wrong and was missing almost the entire second half of the pattern!

This is Susan K Fuller's Hearts Desire and is done in size 20 in "Fancy Fields" by Tatilicious. The colors are much prettier in person!
