Three of the butterflies are from Sherry Pence's new book The Exquisite Collection of Tatted Butterflies 2. Lilly in Sherry HDT Enchantment and some DMC thread for the body. Tatted Butterfly from Sherry blog done in DMC thread. Beryl From her new book it is tatted in size 20 HDT Orchid Garden by Zarina. Then there is Hope done in DMC thread. Sherry's Curly Q done in DMC thread.

The snow is melting. But it is melting to fast only because it may cause some flooding if the ice jams break up to fast. Hay Jane I can see grass. :-)

Project Runway

No tatting this time.
1. It is not snowing here for a change and the sun was out all day. We even made it to 40 a major heat wave for us.

2. My granddaughter Megan Davis is going to be on the Project Runway and Models of the Runway tomorrow night at 9 on lifetime. She also made the Des Moines paper in the Iowa Life sec. So I know what I will be doing on Thursday nights for the next 12 weeks. I will tat while I watch it. That is about all the news here.

Happy New Year

I have been tatting. G Grandson Aracin was out of school out two weeks. Right now we are in a deep freeze, it is -4 right now, but the sun is shining and it is not snowing for a change.

I cannot fine the pattern for the leaves but I think it is one of Ruth Perry's patterns. The Chrysalis is "Mys Terry" Hope Green's form the 2009 Palmetto Tatters CD. The bee is To Bee or not to Bee by Jane Eborall pattern for the 2009 CD. Palmetto Tatters. The Aster Flower is from the Feb. 1972 Workbasket I won from Sherry Mondo giveaway. I beleive it was a snowflake I cannot fine the pattern for but I will keep looking for it. So if any one knows please let me know.
These are all from the Palmetto Tatters 2009 Cd. Split Ring Lady Bug is by Martha Ess, "Bee-Dy" Amulet Bag is also Martha Ess's Love working both of them. The Precious Butterfly is by Hope Green. I did need to learn how the do HPL all over again. Have not done any in years. It is a good way to clean off some of my shuttles.

This one is from the Russian site that is on the Online Tatting Class. Getting the order of the rings was hard. But once I starting writing down each ring and chain. It was easier, especially when working back words on the rounds.
