Tatted Heart Bookmark and misc.

Just some pictures of recently made and finished projects.

I will add links and patterns in a few days.

Crochet Shawl

Finally finished!!!  YEAH!!! 

I started this about 3 months ago and it worked up quickly.

I thought to myself,  this will be done in no time....

Then I set it down and did not pick it up for a couple of weeks.

Anyway,  I am trying hard to finish the projects I have begun.
 This pattern is from Family Circle Easy Crochet Magazine Fall/Winter 2005.
The name of the pattern is Poncho and Cloche pattern #1.

Would this item be worthy to enter into a contest?

What are your thoughts/ides?

These are the makings of a pillow for darling daughter #2.

She like kitties and we found this cute fabric.  Then I went searching for

a simple pattern.  I found it on all people quilt.  I will add the link later.

This is a blackwork cat that I finished in January.

I made it for my daughter mentioned above.

I thought about entering it into the KY State Fair so I had to finish it

and this is how it turned out.  Do you think it is contest worthy?

The below hobby horse is for a baby gift to a friend.

As you can see, I am still in the process of working on the cording.

I found a great blog that explains how to finish ornaments like this.

Pinwheel Ponders.  It is great!!

Finally completely finished!!!

Happy stitching or crafting!!!!

Tatted Heart Bookmark and other things

I found this Tatted Heart Bookmark directions on His Kid blogspot and fell in love with it.  You can see it here .

I made mine with all different shades of green since I have so many balls of green.  Here is my version.

If you would like to make this, here is the link to the pattern directions - here 

I always have too many projects going on at once.  

Here are some pictures of tatting, crochet and sewing items I have been working on and have finished. 

 I love to make these tatted crosses to give as gifts to people. 

They are easy to make and pretty.  I used Lizbeth thread size 20.

 A close up of my tatted cross.

 Quantieaque Snowflake

This is a Jon Yusoff design.  I made it in size 20 thread.

It is a very lovely design and not too hard to make. 

You should try it sometime.

Here is the pattern.

 I am sorry this picture is sideways.  This happens to me every time.

The picture is fine before I download and then after I download, it

is sideways. 

   This is a crocheted ring that I made with a pattern from a crochet magazine.  I will try to find the magazine and update later.

 This is a doily I am working on.  All I have left are some leaves around the edge and blocking.

Tatted Elephant and Crosses

Here are a few tatted items I have finished lately.

 

This elephant I tatted is by Jane Eborall. You can find the pattern

here - http://www.e.n.e.btinternet.co.uk/Elephant.pdf

I am sorry these crosses are sideways, but when I downloaded them they 

switched on me.  I don't know why that happens, but they were the right 

orientation.

This is a pair of earrings that I crocheted from and Interweave crochet supplement.

I used size 80 thread and they measure about 2" across.  They are pretty,

but were hard to work with since the thread was so small.  For the third motif,

I want to make a necklace out of it.
