Delicacy Doily - inadvertently edited!

This is my Delicacy Doily done in my husbands favourite colours of brown and cream. I didn't notice at first that I had accidently missed some of the rows out, but it seems to have worked very well with none of the ruffling that some tatters had experienced!

Scented Heart Sachet

I made this little scented heart sachet for Aimee Grace, my friend's granddaughter, as she loves girly things, to hang among her clothes. I scented it with a tropical refill for a car air freshener....it smells really pretty without being overpowering and when it fades she can dab it with any other perfume.

Tudor Rose

Here is my attempt at a Tudor Rose. I didn't notice until I had finished that it should only have had 5 petals and not 6!

Tudor rose project

I started this motif as a snowflake, but after nearly finishing it, it reminded me of a Tudor Rose. I've since looked up the Tudor Rose only to find that I need to swap the colours around. I will do the motif again to try and achieve a much closer likeness.

Tatted Clover Snowflake

I have now written out the pattern for this little snowflake and the link to the PDF is in my Free Pattern section on the right side bar. Enjoy!

Little bells

These little bells started life as little angels but you know what it's like when you start designing....one thing very often turns into another!

Christmas snowflake ornaments

This is my latest snowflake pattern.
The white beaded ones show the design progression, but the blue beaded ones are the finished article.

Colourful crocheted blanket.

I was asked to crochet a blanket for a little girl's bed....this is what I came up with.

Christmas Tree Earrings 2016

It's that time again! Another Christmas is around the corner and so I thought I would make a new pair of my Christmas Tree Earrings.

This pair is made with perle No 8 with tiny seed beads.

I now stiffen the earrings with hair spray. I have found that it works very well, does not affect the colour of the cotton and can be re-applied again and again if the earrings become limp.

The link to the PDF pattern is at the bottom of my free patterns list on the right side bar.

3D tatted flowers head band

This little girl desparately wanted a pink head band to wear during her next performance, so Aunty Linda came to the rsecue.

Classic Doily for birthday present

This is my Classic Doily (pattern in Free section) that I did for my best friend's birthday. She absolutely loved it, as I knew she would....I had done it in very fine thread....DMC vintage 70....making it very fine.

Oval creation

I decided I wanted a new tatted oval doily and so picked up my shuttles and made a start....this is the result so far. I am using a DMC vintage thread in size 70.

Flower Brooch Pattern

The Flower Brooch Pattern is now available from my Free Pattern section. I hope you enjoy trying it out.

Here is the link as well.

Tatted brooches for Tat Days

These are the brooches I designed as gifts for the Tat Days tutors. I never actually got around to writing out the pattern and so I had better do it soon so that I can post the pattern PDF in my Free Pattern section.

New Collar PDFs uploaded

I have uploaded two new collar patterns to my Free Pattern section, I tried to put pictures of them in this post but blogger is having a moment and simply isn't playing!

Although I designed them two years ago I wasn't able to publish them because they were designed specifically as presents for the teachers at Palmettos Tat Days. Now that the Tat Days event has taken place (last weekend) I can now share the patterns with the rest of the tatting community.

I also designed a brooch for the same set of teachers but I haven't written the pattern for those....maybe soon.
