     Another doily from "Tatted Doilies".  This one was done in size 10 crochet thread with opallite beads.  The completed size was 8 3/4".  This reminds me of the beach.

   My parents send this marvelous book for my birthday, called "Tatted Doilies", by Iris Niebach.  Iris is one of my favorites.  This book requires some discipline!! Most of the doilies are tatted in one round and you need to pay attention to the direction of the tatting!!  Don't let your mind drift on this one.

     This doily was tatted in Lizbeth, size 20, denim whispers.  The doily measured 8 1/2" across.

Totes

     My oldest, Sunday school, student is going into the Confirmation class.  So, I made him a tote bag to carry all of his books from home to church.  Since, I made him one, I had to make my other student one.  We don't have that many books in our class, so little Sam has  a smaller bag.  Sam's little face lit up when he saw he had his own little bag with a cross on it.

      This is a doily I tatted over a year ago.  The pattern was from one of the Handy Hands newsletters.  It was done in Lizbeth, size 20, vineyard harvest.

     My laptop had gotten a few nasty viruses and wiped it's operating system out.  I had a sneaky suspicion, my virus protection wasn't working properly.  I had windows vista and some programs had problems with this operating system.  I was thinking about backing things up and thought I could do it tomorrow.  

     Well, you all know the story....tomorrow never comes!!  Yup...lost some of my files and favorite programs!!  One of my pictures was of an edging on a hanky.  It was sent off and don't have a current picture for this challenge.  This was challenge 78 of 100.  The edging was done in Lizbeth, size 20, azalea med.

     Since I don't have a picture of that one, here's another one.

     I am extremely impressed with the amount of patterns in this book and how well it is produced.  This may become my favorite book.  WOW, it's well worth the money!!  What's more, it's booklet size so it fits nicely in a small tote bag.

One for Me

One for Me

     I had only one blue cats-eye cabochon.  After tatting the foundation, around the cab, I knew I couldn't release this one into the wild!  I had to tame it and keep it for myself.  This one was Tatsmithed with two strands of Sulky, gold metallic thread.
