Christmas Ball Set

Christmas Ball Set

     I tweaked my large tatting ball pattern and finally had gotten it to look right.  Yes, these were done before Christmas...thank goodness for "Schedule" bogging.  My blogs are done in advanced from two weeks to a month ... or more.  So, everything you are seeing now, I probably did a month ago.  This was a set of 15 Christmas balls.  I have a set of 18 small ones yet to do.  That pattern, I have down.  These balls were done in crochet thread number 20 and lots of beads.

     Tags I put on my packages.   They are made from shrink plastic and says, "Tatting By Marie."  The plastic was found at Hobby Lobby, called "Shrinky Dinks."  I can remember when these first came out...sort of dates my age.  One of my favorite things to do is the packaging part.
