I can't believe how much he has grown, right before my very eyes! I think the "Isaac and cat" pictures are about over. I had...

I went back to leaf #2 and added a center. I like it! That double strand thread left such a big hole in the middle that I felt it needed t...

Here's the latest. Fun, fun, fun!

With Sherry's permission, I added a middle to her leaf pattern. Using the small thread, the hole is fine, but on the big thread I have ...

This is Sherry's Autumn Leaf #2 Sherry Pence I promised I would correct my mistake on the first one! This is the same thread that I us...

First, a disclaimer for Sherry's sake! I made a mistake at the top which made me run out of room at the bottom. I knew I had made one,...

I have been tagged by Lady Shuttle Maker to share seven facts about myself. Here are the rules which you must abide by if you are tagged. 1....

Here is my rendition of Martha's Flower Bouquet Heart tatted in Flora size 20 and DMC Cebelia size 20. It isn't exactly like Martha...

I just had to tat this one again. Both the white and blue are Flora size 20. While Flora is just about my favorite thread, the #20 white w...

This is the first heart I have tatted from Tat's Amore' by Marth Ess. I love my new book and am very pleased with this heart. I ca...

I finally got the lobster feelers repaired and attached him to the jacket. You can also see that I put the snake on the sleeve. I was taki...

This is "Star #1" on page 39 of Gun and Elwy's book. I tatted it with Altin Balsak and it's a little too soft and will ne...

In anticipation of my first sale, I have lowered most of my prices in my shop. I have also lowered shipping on all but the piano bench cover...

This is my first time to do the Tat-Along project. I really like this pattern. It's like a snowflake with a negative space snowflake i...

I put the snake on the sleeve of the jacket last night. It looks so cute! I'll wait and post pictures when I get the lobster sewed on....

I finally got all of the tatted animals sewn on my shirt/jacket. Whew! That invisible thread looks great, but what a bother! I think I will...

It doesn't seem possible, but our baby is 19 months old. I have been trying to get pictures for the last five days. I decided I'd ...

This snowflake is from the same book as the Pyramid Orchid motif. It is, in fact, on the same page. "Tatting Patterns And Designs...

I opened an Etsy shop today. It might be temporary, might not be. We are trying to downsize and I might as well make some money in the pro...

This dress, hat and purse are owned by The Mobile Tatter's Guild in Mobile, Alabama. They were found in an attic and purchased by the g...

She passed, she passed - my daughter passed her test! She just called to tell me she passed her state boards, which is no small feat! We a...

I told all of you to expect something special! Jon was so good to share this tatting pattern with me. When she posted the picture of hers,...

I just received shuttle #77 from Lady Shuttlemaker in the mail! I can't wait to sit down with it and some thread and see what beautiful...

I just uploaded more pictures to Flickr of the wedding and wanted to put these two here. They are from real mom's camera and much bette...

Well, at long last, the wedding has come and gone. Here are a few pictures I took with my camera. I hope others got more, and better, pict...

This is the sweet little edging that Battatter shared. It tats up real quick. (My DMC thread, of course.) I think it would be perfect for...

I tatted this chatelaine in Altin Bazak instead of my usual DMC Cebelia. I also only tatted one accessory arm, as I am used to wearing this...

I thought I had lost this piece of lace for good, but found it yesterday. I did this in 1999, right before I finally figured out the tattin...

I know the color on this picture is terrible, but I just had to show you Isaac brushing his teeth. If you go to Flickr, there are several o...

Our little baby is 18 months old! I just can't believe how the time has flown. I usually take about 40 pictures each month, but he jus...

I am finished tatting the Chatelaine, except I have to find some proper clips for attaching the scissors and crochet hook. I also need to g...

I still haven't finished the feelers on the lobster. I finally found some 1" plastic curtain rings and got started tatting Sharon...

This was such a fun little project! I am enjoying the block tatting more and more. Everything was smooth as silk until I got to the claws ...

Thank you so much for designing this pattern and giving it to the calendar Brigitte! I just love it. The pattern is on the calendar for Au...

It is done. I love the Mignonette tatting, really I do, but this was a big project. Or, maybe it just seemed so since I just finished tatt...
