sorry ...

Sorry to anyone who received e-mail from me 4/29 around 1:01pm.

It wasn't really from me - I have reset my password + hope it doesn't happen again.

Always, L.

practice motifs



The small motif on the left, my own creation.

(LizBeth 139, size 20)

--------------

The small motif on the right is from MiniTats by Patti Duff (#43).
The center was a small ring & lots of lock joins.

(Probably size 20 - fiber was a gift)

---------------

Notice the new shuttle?

You can find them + other tatting supplies at
AKTATTER's Country Store

I've enjoyed the On Line Tatting Class , still feel there are loads of tatting things to learn!

I'm so lucky ....



.... to have sweet blogging friends!

Thx Cathy B
for the Easter card (I adore all things 'bunny' themed)

and your Mom
for gifting me with this beautiful tatted cross!


I hope one day I can tat as well as she does
and can repay her kindness.

Riet's SSSR Dragonfly



Oh my - need more practice on single shuttle split rings ...

Libel, the Dragonfly
pattern by Riet Surtel-Smeulders .

Split rings much easier for me using 2 shuttles.

(size 20 Lizbeth 663)

Will pick up the shuttles again on Monday - enjoy the week-end

lock join

When I was shopping at the vendor areas,
during Indiana Lace Day,
I purchased Motifs for Marie.
Kaye Judt was kind enough to show me how
to tat motif #6 in her book.
I am grateful for the LJ demo.

I think I did ok with the motif. I'd like to try this again with a pink fiber - a size 20.
(Fiber might be cebelia#10 - had something already on the shuttle)

Motifs for Marie
c. Kaye B. Judt, 2009


I like this book. The projects are small enough for me to try.
I like the directions as there are spaces between each element.

Next, I want to try one of the dimple heart shapes.
