25 Motif challenge + miscellaneous

For the 25 Motif Challenge ...

Motif #22 from 

Minitats; 69 Petite Motifs

by Patti Duff

Lizbeth, Size 20, Color 163.

This blue colorway is so soft - wonder if they have a

soft blend of lavenders?

I hope to complete 1-25 this year (have tatted 1-23 so far);

I hope to continue the 25 Motif Challenge in 2013 with

motif #26-50, the patterns look amazing.

And on to Misc:

If you read my previous post,

I was winding two fibers on a shuttle and tatting -- the 

result is very interesting (and fun to do).

Jane Eborall  (in her comment) refers to it as  HWT - Hand Wound Thread.   

It has a name!   I will call it HWT, too!

I plan to grab a couple fibers, tat with them + see what happens.

My Tollway Tatting friends encouraged me to --- 

well, they said I HAD TO subscribe to the Handy Hands Newsletter.

So, I did as instructed + with the mailing I received was a

size 3 Tatting Fiber to try.   What lovely colors!

And, thx for twisting my arm a bit - I seriously thought it was all needle tatting.

I was so wrong.

I bought this broomstick lace bag

at a Farmer's Market in Celebration, FL.   I just HAVE TO figure out

how to make these.   My crochet attempts are just pitiful.

I bought a clover 'tool' and have yet to play with it!   

I purchase these cards at the local Hallmark.   Thy have stickers to attach inside

the circle - so, instead of purchasing the stickers ...  I attach some of my tatted butterflies.  

 There are pink cards, yellow cards, green cards, etc.   

 As they are becoming hard to locate - I may have to stock up!!!

This lovely fiber (butterfly) is one made by Yarnplayer.

I used up all I had + made a couple doodles with the left overs on the shuttles.

It is a lovely pastel.
