A gift just because

I rarely keep anything that I make...they usually find good homes right away. This bookmark is the Twisted Clover Bookmark by Carol Lepard aka Carolivy, needle tatted with crochet cotton size 10:

Birthday present

I love giving bookmarks as presents they're pretty and useful!
Here is a bookmark out of Beeton's Book of Needlework -Ward Lock and Tyler 1870 made in crochet cotton size 10:

Anne Bruvold's Ringtrim-Microdragon

I love Anne's patterns, they are just lovely.  Here is her Ringtrim-Microdragon in some of my favorite colorways. 

This is 6 strands of embrodery floss with some adjustments on the stitch count:
    

And this was my 1st one and it is crochet cotton size 10 in a rainbow colorway:

Going away present for a friend

A friend of mine went to South Korea, her husband is in the military, so I made her this little bookmark...


She decided it was of better use as a bracelet though...who am I to argue!
The pattern is from Jane Eborall's pattern site which at the moment is having some issues...maybe she's adding new free patterns for us!!! Thread is DMC 8...I think...

Earrings of my own design

Here's a pair of earrings I made on the fly for a friend on Christmas.  Made with an Anchor varigated size 8 pearl...I think...

I will add the pattern when I get it written.

New Ornament

This is not a star or a snowflake, but it is part of the ornament gifts I'm giving to my Christmas-Lovin' friend!
I made this by doing a strand of Mary Maynard's Edging in the center and a clover motif based off of said Edging for the top and a ring and chain circle motif for the bottom and then strung beads between the each set. It's made with my favorite thread Opera size 5!  ;)

This Blog is...

This blog is going to be me showing off my tatting 'masterpieces' and giving out my original designs.  You're not going to hear about how the weather is crappy and makes me depressed or about how good old great aunt bessie kicked the bucket...it's all about tatting (ok maybe some crochet or knitting if I can ever stop tatting!)
