Color Combos!

I love this doily pattern so much I decided to started two more!!! It's the coronet doily from my previous posts and all three are coming along nicely. I scanned these guys so that's why they look a little funny,


The solid green is the first one I started and I quickly realized how pretty the pattern looks so I got the notion to try some fun color combos. The one on the far right is a lighter green with a subtle pink variegated thread. These two threads together are quickly becoming my favorite!!! The middle one I started last night and is in navy blue and  Lizbeth's Wedgewood light. I like how striking it looks.
School is quickly wrapping up and work at the garden center is gettin' busy! Life is good in Illinois!
Happy Tattings!

99 Followers?!?!?!?!?!

Can it be?? I have 99 followers?!
 
Wow! I did a calculation this morning to see how long I've been blogging. So starting from my first blog post, which was January 17, 2009 to today April 10th, 2012, it has been 3 years, 2 months, and 24 days. Oh My Goodness! I looked back at some pictures of my first projects and at the progress I have made as a tatter. Tatting is one of those hobbies that will stay with me forever and I make no plans of stopping any time soon. I can't wait to see what the next 99 followers brings! Thank you for being such great readers! So here is a hearty round of applause for my treasured blogging buddies!!!!
May all your tatting adventures be blessed!

Coronet Doily

Currently working on a lovely doily from Tattyhead's blog called the Coronet Doily. Here are two tatted centers. I've been working on color combos and decided to go with a solid green Lizbeth thread. (Leaf Green Med.-684, just FYI :) It was a close second to a solid navy blue but I'm partial to greens so green it is! This is the first 4 rounds out of 10 so it will be a moderately large doily. Ah, new projects are so fun!

 
Happy tattings!
