I still tat

Didn't do a lot for the challenge, had to do other things, but that didn't work well either.

Yesterday and today at least, something is been tatted.Two snowflakes, my own design a long time ago, a verry early design. It are two of five different snowflakes, all with the SCMR. In de middle is a little shining star, but I also made a center when there is no star.

These are tatted with DMC metallic thread. I think I bought it at the Palmetto's last year , but am not sure off that. I thought what I bought wasn't DMC but it looks the same as a little xmas star with a celtic knot picot I desighned last year and that star I tatted in Lexington with the new thread. I see that the pictures are different, the background paper is the same in booth pictures, so don't know what I did.

Meaby some one can solve the problem I bought it as I said in the vender room at the palmetto's Did some one else do that? Please if so help me out.

The pattern of these snowflakes is on the site of Georgia Seitz

The class on line

Not a new motif, but the homework from the class on line,

In dutch we call it a Distel, I like that flower, but most of the poeple don't like it. I have to say that I am a little bit strange in behaving when it comes to gardens.

In my garden everything is allowed to grow, just take care that I have some room to walk and sit. My nabours don't agree with me, but as long as it is in my garden I am the boss isn't it.

In yhis way I have a lot of birds in my garden

This flower is a design for the class on line from Rita Cochrane , I met her at the Palmetto's in 2005.

She is a nice lady, verry busy and she has lots of tattingsuplies.

The pattern of the flower is on Georgia's site:

Meaby I will meet you in the class

Again a snowstar

I am realy catched by the daisy picot I like this snowstar and I realy wonder that you can do this with that technic.
This snowstar is just 1 ring with 6 picots and beads on booth threads.

Something else, I tried to gave a message to Jon but it didn't work. Jon I realy like your daisy picot design and I am glad that you used my explanation It is always difficult to write down something in english it is not my first language. I hope to see more of you, Jon, in the daisy picot technic,

snowflake with beads

The snowstar is ready, but I think I must tat more ds on the inside ring so that the beads are better seen, at the other hand the ring will become verry big and than closing wil gave a problem, special with thinner thread.

I started with the thread the same as the earring and there the beads cut the thread.

This thread is Madeira # 20 and the beads are czechoslovakian beads 10/0 seed.

So I must practize a lot to come to a good design

Daisy picot with beads

I tried this time the picots with beads I tatted a kind of an earring.

I don't wear them but I think there are a lot of tatters who like them, I mean earrings, don't know if they like this one and I have to retat it because It didn't end the way I like it , so wait and see

I use for this one Oren Bayan thread #70 and beads are glass seed beads size 14

This evening I will try a snowflake un this thread and with this beads.

Meaby can show them to morrow

Somewhere in an e-mail off Jane Eborall she said: an edging without a corner is not an edging, or something like that and I think she is right So I took my designed edging with daisy picots, the second one, the first one was stolen and this evening I created an edging.
You can do it in different ways but this one I like.
So this is not a new motif, but just the finishing tuch off one of the first motifs.
must go on with a new motif.

Roesje the cat

Class on line has started again and to day we are busy with the little cat from Martha Ess.
Isn't he cute I realy like him, yes it is a he, almost all the red cats are male, at least that is what they say overhere, His name is Roesje a name of a realy nice cat we had at home when I still lived with my parents.

Hi all .
here is the bookmark again and now booth colors are the same number and it is Oran Bayan
# 50, I like the first one more (the dark purple) I think the threads are much thinner.
The problem is, I can't find the purple anymore It is not an Oran Bayan or an Altin Basak I think it is a # 40, bought in the states last year, but can't find the ball and the white is a thinner, meaby a 50 or 60. OK learned that you must look at your shuttles verry carefully before you start tatting. I hope you will let me know what you think about this. Till next time

I was not satisfied with the picture, so here is a new one, it shows better the way the picots are

At least after a verry busy week preparing and going to the guild meeting, I found some time to tat.
I made my new motif again in the daisy picot technic and this time it worked all at once and I didn't have to retat.
I like the bookmark. Find out at the end that the white thread is thinner as the purple.
I think the white is cordonet #40 and the purple is Oram Bayan #50
Ok let me know what you think about it
greetings till next time
