Oh bother!

Between all the rain we've gotten and work and just life in general I've been so very busy that I haven't had time to blog! I'm still tatting away, no worries! Here's a quick update before I head out to do horse chores with my sister!

Dragon by Anne B from Nuperelle! Here is her Norwegian Dragon Pattern! I've seen pictures of this pattern so often that I had to give it a try. I plan on making a couple more. I have some variegated threads in mind that would look nice with this pattern.

Here is the bookmark pattern from Jon Yusoff that I turned into a headband. I tracked down some ribbon to use to tie the back but it came out so nice. I wore this to work yesterday and it was so much more comfortable then using elastic at the back. Now the headband is totally adjustable and looks cute with a bow tied at the bottom. I'm planning on going to some craft stores to find more ribbon colors that will match my threads for more headbands!

The antique Adreinne Mat pattern in solid pastel green - Work in progress. Still trucking along on round 6 out of 7. I'm liking this pattern a lot still!

Have a wonderful Thursday everyone!

 

Two-By-Two Headband

 Yooohooo!! Over here! Yes I'm alive and tatting- just been so busy I've hardly had time to blog! I'm working on a headband from Jon's Two-By-Two pattern. Both rounds are black and, from my Pinterest Inspiration post, I'm going to try tying it up with a ribbon versus elastic!

Work at the garden center is ramping up as the weather gets warmer and warmer so I'm tatting on my lunch breaks. I'm still working on my solid pastel, mint green antique pattern. Pictures soon to follow!

OH! and Just a reminder! If you are in the area and took one of the tatting classes I taught at Esther's Place, this coming Tuesday (April 16th) Natasha is hosting a tatting Q & A night at Esther's Place! Please call her to RSVP and I'll see you there!

 

So Busy tatting I forgot to Blog about it!

 I've been tatting so much lately I forgot to write a blog post about it! We have been watching the Olympics after dinner most nights this week so I've had plenty of time with my shuttles. Here are some of my current projects and tattings:

Yarnplayers motif called 'Five Petal Pendent.'

Yellow Headband - about 15" of tatting with some elastic at the ends! I saw this idea on Pintrist and had to try it!

My favorite one! It's Mary Knoior's 'Anniversary' tatted in Lizbeth 'Pineapple Parfait' I am loving how slightly variegated that thread is!

 

Yarnplayer's 'Wonderous Windows.'

Headbands!! They are so simple and fun to make! Hoping to sell some at the next artist's market!

We are finally getting some rain here in Illinois! More time to tat! The Yarnplayer patterns are from Marilee Rockley's Book "Up and Tat 'Em." Have a great Thursday everyone!

 

Something new!!!!!!!!!

I was experimenting the other day with a long piece of tatted edging and had an idea inspired by God's Kid on her Post. I had a skinny, tan headband that I never really liked so why not cover it up with tatting! Thanks for the idea Sue!
