Vacation Tatting

We went on vacation last week.  I got a little crafting in by finishing up a few

ongoing tatting projects and knitting on a doily.

I am so happy to be done and proud of finishing.

A snowflake from the book Festive Snowflakes and Ornaments by Barbara Foster.

Another tatted cross to sell or giveaway as a gift.

 This is a bookmark.  I found the directions on the internet somewhere, but the 

actual directions are for edgings from Tatting Doilies and Edgings

by Rita Weiss.  I am sorry the picture is not that good.

I am trying to get better, but don't have a studio.

The beginnings of a knitted doily.  It is named leaf doily I think.

 

 My first two rounds of the tat-a-long on Tat-a-Renda's site of the 

Norma Benporath doily.

This is a heart bookmark in size 60 thread.  I found this on an internet site also.

I will try to link later.  My kids are calling.

 

One more tatted cross in the works!!!

Have a great day!!!

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.

 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.

Hardanger Cross

Today, I picked up an unfinished project.  This Hardanger Cross is by Donna M. Olson called Cross Bookmarks.  I was able to finish.  It turned out rather nice.  It felt so nice to finish something that I have had laying around for quite some time.

I am happy to share my craft projects with others. 

I so enjoy seeing others craft projects also.
