What? 4 More?? :)

Surprise Surprise... 4 more bookmarks.. :) Here are yet 4 more bookmarks.A friend of mine stopped by the other night and seen one of my bookmarks laying on my kitchen table. After talking about them, she asked me to make some for her family members for Christmas gifts... I was honored.. So I have a list of 8 for her to make, along with some I would like to give out as gifts too. Three of these are her's. All tatted in Lizbeth thread. Red Burst, Turquoise Twist, Spring Time and Angel's Love. The charms on these are from Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby. I have started a pair of baby booties.. Will post a picture of them when completed.. Happy Tatting!!

two more bookmarks with lizbeth thread

Hello Everyone, Here are two more of my new favorite pattern! :) One with lizbeth's "Falling Leaves" and the other is "Harvest Orange Med.". The Destiny charm is from Michael's, it came on a card with 6 different ones. The "Create" charm is also from Michael's (I believe). They are on a string like a lot of the beads come on.. The words "Hope" "Believe" and "Wish" also came on the same string.

Another Bookmark in Lizbeth thread

Another bookmark.. This one is tatted in Denim Whisper Lizbeth size 20. I have actually made 3 more but this is the only picture that turned out.. Will try to remember to take more of the other two before I give them away.. Also has anyone seen the new Lizbeth thread color "Fall Leaves"? It is amazing.. I will be loading the next shuttle with this.. look for a picture by the end of the weekend!! Happy Halloween! Happy Tatting!!

my bookmark

I just love tatting this bookmark pattern... they work up so fast... The bead and charm combination are endless for the short end.. Plus working with the Lizbeth thread is a dream... This bookmark is tatted in Lizbeth's Antique Violet Med. I will be keeping this one for myself... I think... :) Until next time - Happy Tatting to all!!!

Inflicting the Tatting Bug on yet another Victim :)

This past Monday I met up with two ladies for lunch and a little tatting lesson. One of the ladies I have taught to tat a couple of years ago but she was interested in learning the split ring. The other lady is a newbie.. I have to admit I think she might have been the fastest lady I had pick up on the flip. We sat at a diner for an hour and a half - tatting over coffee and o.j. for me. By the time we left, my veteran tatter had the split ring figured out and since our lesson has made a bookmark using split rings. My newbie on the other hand, had made 4 rings and chains... also having the rings joined together.. I was impressed.. We are meeting again on Monday. Also Monday, we are planning a road trip to the Country Closet in Reinbeck, Iowa is search of some new supplies!!! Lizbeth thread... sew mate shuttles... books... the possibilities are endless...
The photo I added is of a bookmark I made for my daughter's teacher. It is tatted in Lizbeth 20 thread - red burst I believe the name was... The pattern is out of Tatting Miscellany. The Ric Ric Bookmark, instead of the ribbon I tatted a short end and attached it with a chain...
Until next time... Happy Tatting...

25 Challenge Complete..

After I posted my blog earlier this evening I then realized I have completed my 25 motif challenge.. I had no idea I was that close and also I have tatted items and given them away before getting a picture taken of it.. Also there was a couple of other events that happened today I wanted to share. First while at the Heritage Days, there are two other tatters - 1 needle and 1 shuttle. Well every year we make each other a little something.. I made more of Heather's awareness ribbons and handed them out in honor of my sister - a 6 year breast cancer survivor this month... Well the shuttle tatted gave a me a cute little butterfly and the needle tatter.... her husband is a wood carver... she gave me a SHUTTLE!!! It is very nice, I will get a picture taken and posted... Also today while I was tattin and chattin, my husband and daughter were helping his folks move.. He brought me home Grandma Pearl's treadle sewing machine!!! I about cried... My mom-in-law don't always see eye to eye and I never expected to have that given to me.. I will cherish both presents of the day forever!!!
