A little Tatting

This is a small cardinal I tatted from Miranda's free pattern over at Tatting Fool's blog.  I just love how he turned out!  I just gave him away to a dear friend of mine who collects cardinals so I will have to tat myself another one!

Below are two bookmarks that I have tatted.  I did them in purple and gold which are the school colors here in town.

Below is a little picture that my friend has.  The table and vase look like watercolor and the flowers are tatted.  I would love to make something like this.  I will have to brush up on my watercolor skills.  I never was very good at painting!  I am afraid the pictures are not really clear.  It is hard to get a good picture of something in a glass frame.

My "baby boy", Keith, decided to sit in my lap!  What a big baby! hahaha  I should be the one sitting in his lap! 

This is my daughter, Tara, and her friend, Tiffanie.  Tara is the one with dark brown hair.

This is my daughter, Amber.  Tara's cat, Lily, is laying on her leg.  That cat loves to be in that chair or laying on anyone who is sitting in that chair!



What a WIN!!!

Gina over at Threads of a Tatting Goddess  had a give away and I was one of the lucky winners.  I was expecting just a little bag with a few tatting related items in it.  Imagine my surprise when this big box full of goodies arrived!  I was blown away!

She sent me all the items below!  A shopping list tablet with butterflies on it!  I love butterflies!  Two hair clips, two things of thread, beads, a blinged out tatting shuttle, gold ring, paper weight, little fabric bag, candy, and two tatted butterfly!  And that is not all!

She also sent me all these lovely vintage crochet books!  I love these books!

And this very nice Needlecraft Treasury book filled with crochet!

And a pattern to make a pin cushion trimmed in tatting!

Thank you so much, Gina, for all the fantastic things you sent me!  I am truly blessed to have won this give away!
