A Baker's Dozen

Here is motif challenge #15.  It is egg #18 from the same book.  Tatted in Lizbeth Salmon Med., of course size 20.  This turned out to be a sweet egg.  However, I am not a fan of dimpled rings as I usually end up breaking the thread while closing.  I had to start over three times before I figured out how to close the ring without breaking the thread.  Thank you Jane E. for your tips and techniques pages.  The explanation is so clear and so helpful.  This is the thirteenth egg.

It's Here and I love it!!!  Sherry Pence's new book.  Great job LadyShuttleMaker - beautiful patterns. I am so glad I purchased it.
Happy tatting,

A Watermelon Egg

Motif Challenge #14 is egg #4 from the book.  It is tatted in Lizbeth's Juicy Watermelon size 20 with lime green   size 6 beads.  The colors are very pretty.  One thing about the eggs is that it is a fun way to try out threads.

Happy tatting,

LadyShuttleMaker's Mug

I  had to have one of LadyShuttleMaker's ceramic mugs.  It is so pretty.  Too cool to have a mug with lace motifs all over.  I love coffee and love tatting--so it's the best of both.  Thanks Sherry for sharing your talent.

Happy tatting,

Here's another one

Here is motif challenge #13.  It is egg #2 from the TATTED EASTER EGG book.  Tatted in Lizbeth's Pink Parade using size 20.   This is a cute egg. The tree is turning out nice--getting close to a dozen. 

Happy tatting,

Another Egg again

Here is Motif Challenge #12. It is egg #16 made from Lizbeth Pink Cocoa. But, I think of it as Jane Eborall's Pink Cocoa. I love the way this egg turned out. I usually avoid split chains, but I decided to go ahead and give it a try. Luckily the split chain landed in the brown section of the thread. So, imperfections are not as visible. Please don't look too close. I need to follow Fox and "practice, practice, practice". The actual design may have looked better in a solid color, but I like how it turned out.
