Tollway Tatters (Part Two)

Aren't these stunning?????   Diane made them.

I may gift a couple - but, they are so pretty,

may be too hard to part with them.

Diane tatted this

Triangular Doodad Snow Crystal in size 10.

It is just beautiful!

She also brought along the button swap pieces

pieces from Bri (but I forgot to take a photo).

What fun to swap buttons and have them return, embellished!

Diane had a tin of beads/fibers and challenged 

us to be creative!   Not sure what we will come up with.

In addition to the challenge - there was a small

hook tool to help with the beads and charming

round discs that look like life savers.

Thx Diane!

The white star ornament on the left

was tatted by CathyB's Mom, Marlene.

I found a similar pattern (or perhaps it is the same pattern)

in Myra Piper's book:   Tatting.

The pattern is typed out - no diagram, and I wasn't quite

sure how to manage .... but, I tried using size 40 Lizbeth

and think I've figured out the pattern.

By using size 40, I think it will be smaller + look nice

on my Mom's tree.

I have been enjoying Marilee Rockley's tatting class.

I used some fiber samplers, size 3

for the flowers and butterflies -

to use on cards / scrapbooking.

I have more green fiber - and will make more

of the grass in green!

Now that I have some size 10 fiber, I'm ready

to continue with the next lessons

making earrings, bracelets, etc - with size 8 seed beads.
