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!!!

This tatted bookmark is my new favorite item to make for friends.
I found this pattern on some website which I cannot remember at this point, but the pattern is taken from page 23 in the Tatting Doilies & Edgings book published by Dover Press edited by Rita Weiss. It is an adaption from edging #1. Isn't it pretty?

Another one of the motifs I've made in the last year.
This design is taken from Tatting Patterns and Designs by

I didn't think I would like this snowflake, but when finished,
I fell in love with it. So beautiful!!
