Laura's Tatting Muse

Here are two pictures of my tree that I decorated today with all of my tatted pieces. I need more! (Or a smaller tree.) I will probably f...

I had to go back and tat one more of Sherry's Autumn Leaves. This is Marilee's thread "Autumn Treasure." I just knew it ...

I tatted this one in the same Flora thread as the others, size 20. Denise' instructions for block tatting were different than the way I...

My dad carved these for me years. Somehow they had gotten packed away and I just found them. I guess there is something to be said for cle...

Hard as I try, I can't make it snow. Not outside anyway! I tatted this snowflake last night in about three hours! With all of them us...

I tatted this design from Denise Munoz in size 20 Flora, both the green and the pink. All three of the ones I have tatted from this book wo...

Courtesy of Karl, here are the scans of the last two snowflakes until I get the next one finished! We have spent the morning cleaning out t...

I'll have to ask Karl to scan this one in for me tomorrow. This picture in no way does it justice. Denise Munoz, wherever you are, tha...

After about five years of trying, this orchid I purchased last year has rewarded me with my first blooms for which I am responsible. (Excep...

This is from my new book "Snowflake Roses" by Denise Munoz copyright 2002. I just received it yesterday from Handy Hands and coul...

I couldn't decide which background I liked better, so here are two from which to choose. The butterflies are DMC size 80 and the white ...

I thought I would have at least one new tatted snowflake to show off today, but I've hit some snags. (Mostly from watching tv or talkin...

Thanks to Jane Eborall for Snowflake #1 pattern. I don't know what I would do without all of you designers. I had so much fun tatting ...

Jon's tatting snowflake again! I knew if I didn't make another right away, I would completely forget the technique. Believe it or...

Remember when I made Jon's rose doily and I said it reminded me of my grandmother's crochet? Well, I finally found a piece of it to...

This snowflake was designed by Emma Crew in Mark 2001 for the first snowflake round robin. It is one of the snowflakes that Jon tatted. Sh...

I knitted this hat for Isaac. However, it somehow turned out to be almost big enough for me. I think I will list it on Etsy and see if it ...

Wow! My friend Karl, of Karl and Madeline's Reminiscence and Recreation, scanned this and emailed it to me. I can't believe the di...

I am probably more pleased with this snowflake than anything I have done in quite a while. I finally made myself learn to do a daisy picot,...

This is probably the last leaf I will tat for now. I need to get back to my snowflakes and I want to tat Jane's pig and frog. I tatted...

The leaves are falling much faster now! The orange, green and yellow one is in #10 crochet cotton. I'm not particularly happy with it....

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....

Let's see if this works, Diane. Lace Lovin Librarian

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...
