Same snowflake as the last one, but MY FIRST SCAN of my own! I can't believe I have got working on my own. Thanks to all of you who we...

No, I haven't given up on snowflakes. I just wanted to try this little tree. Especially as it can also be a bookmark and other useful ...

My tatting addiction seems to have moved to a new, more serious, level. Total immersion has always been my way. Mother used to say that I ...

This started out to be one of Denise's snowflake roses. However, when I started tatting the points, I made a mistake and left out a rin...

Here are the last two skeins of Marilee's, (Yarnplayer's), thread that I received. I guess this is the last of my presents. I shall...

Clyde said my purple snowflake looked like a passion flower. I searched back through my pictures to find these I made in June of 2006 in Ba...

The first one is Sherry's hand dyed "grapefruit" with DMC pink for the rings. I'm going to have to work all of my DMC and...

I just had to share pictures of our little Santa. He certainly has brought loads of joy to our house! Now all I have to do is figure out a...

Well, this snowflake is an experiment and far away from what I would normally do. Very far away. In fact, I almost cut the last row off an...

This is the new white Christmas tree so far. I put the white snowflakes, or most of them, around the bottom so they would show up. I'l...

I am finding so many ways to tat these snowflakes and save thread while making them more and more interesting. (I think!) This is Sherry...

After tatting this one, I think I have enough Rhubarb Crisp to tat one more snowflake rose (center part.) I used DMC for the starting ring ...

I told Sherry there was a rose hiding in this thread just waiting to be tatted! I think it will look great on my white Christmas tree one d...

I got it wrong on the previous post. This is the scan I meant to show you!

The top snowflake is tatted with Flora size 20, both the blue and the white. I thnk the result is pleasing. The Berries 'N Cream you ha...

This is one of my recent finds during "Fall Cleaning." (UGGHH) My grandmother, Maggie Noreen DeFoor, crocheted this sometime in ...

Tatting this snowflake in Sherry Pence hand dyed Berries "N" Cream thread was so much fun! Clyde had suggested that patterns wit...

Karl scanned this one in for me this morning, as opposed to my snapshots of the other two. I think the difference is amazing. It looks pre...

Please go to the link for Karl and Madeline on my sidebar and read the last post. It is very touching and a great reminder for all of us.

I believe I am in danger of tatting taking over my life. It's a good thing I have Isaac here or we'd be in trouble! I just can...

Here is Isaac in his new hat I knitted for him. His momma had to hold him to keep it on his head! The i doesnt' show up very well, but...

Wow! I may never use regular thread again! Yeah, I know. That's impossible. I have loads and loads of perfectly good thread that I h...

I just finished knitting Isaac's hat that my daughter wanted for him. It is bright red with a black lower case i on the front. It look...

I am glad that some of you talked me into tatting more snowflakes in colors. I like the pink and green better, but this yellow and green is...

Well, I just didn't have enough Christmas tatting to fill up the tree, so I added my crocheted stockings yesterday. I don't see mys...

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...

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...
