Another Paci Keeper


In honor of International Tat Days, I brought my tatting to work and during down time, tatted while enjoying a discounted chocolate covered marshmallow bunny.  The pattern I used for this paci keep is the foundation and 2nd row from Jane's Interlocking Ring Choker found on her blog here.  The thread is Lizbeth Size 20 white and I believe Ocean Turquoise Dark.


I am now working on my second with a third to follow.

Superbowl 2013 Snowflake



Catching up on a few projects.  Finally finished by snowflake from Superbowl 2013.  The thread is size 20 from Tat-ilicious.  Not sure on the color name.

I have finished a test pattern I have been working on.  I am hoping to get permission to post this week when she posts her pattern.

New Paci Keepers

Been busy working and getting ready for granddaughter's heart surgery.  Have managed to do some tatting.  Finished two paci keepers.  They are made with size 20 hdt from Jess (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tatilicious?ref=em).  The first is Blue Ridge and the second is Bahamas.  The paci clips I found on Ebay.

On another note, I have completed and passed the Phase 1 Tatters Across Time proficiency course.  I have submitted the application for Phase II.  Need to work on a few things but overall proud of what I have accomplished.

I am test tatting a pattern for Tatting for the Spirit .  Her tatting is inspirational.  Goes to show any design can be turned into tatting.

I have thread ready for a couple more projects (one of which I really need to start in the next couple of weeks).

New Samples and Thread



 Working on a couple of more paci keepers for gifts.  Will post pics in a couple of days after I tie in the ends.  In the meantime, I have played with dying more samples, Lilac and muted yellows.  Also dyed varigated muted yellow which I have plans for after I finish a couple more projects.

Day 10 TIAS and Paci Keeper

Well TIAS for 2013 is now over.  Today was Day 10.  Here is my submission.  My buggy is going downhill from the looks of the wheels.  I have really enjoyed this years as I have learned a couple more techniques that were on the bucket list!  So sad though because now I have to wait another year for the next one.  Hopefully, there will be a TIAS somewhere on the net that I will be able to participate in.

I have finished another pacifier keeper for us (see post below for pattern info).  This was done using Tatilicious' Livi Ballet Shoes in size 20 and white.  I swapped each color to start with at each ring to get a spiral effect.
