Laura's Tatting Muse

  How many of you expected to see yellow next? Maybe Yarnplayer did. Tatting this doily is a true joy. The pattern is well written and th...

I'm still not sure she is a she. You know Jane! Guess we'll find out what might come with the hair.

  I hope I have this right. Could be most anything/anyone now!

  I am more in love with this doily with every swish of the shuttle! I hope you can see the different colors in the rows of chains. There ...

  I am test tatting this doily for Clyde and he has given me permission to post progress pictures. Hopefully this design will be in a book...

  Well, I've decided that our Jane is the master of deception. I asked her if she had ever considered becoming a spy! Think of the disq...

  Here is my first paisley from Mark aka Tatman's pattern that he so generously offered. As soon as I figure out where I got the patter...

Well, at long last I have some guesses - several of them, but I'm not telling!

I know I am way behind, but I just found the pattern library on E Tatters. It is great. I have updated my labels on patterns and pictures ...

I have been experiencing trouble leaving comments off and on for some time. Now, I notice that more and more of you mention this same probl...

  I've still no idea. Clever Jane!

Well, I looked up some pictures of Dumbledore's Phoenix and I really hadn't remembered it well at all! It's all red/orange/fire...

I received my book from Jon and I am so happy and excited about it! I enjoyed helping a little bit with test tatting and motivation and app...

  I started out with Inga Madsen's pattern for a Starling. I really didn't change the pattern except to lengthen the tail and add t...

  I've still not a clue what it is, but I think it is so pretty! I need to work with beads more often.

  These last two segments didn't take very long at all. I hope I have it right! (Still no idea)

  I finally got enough sense about me last night to get the first two days done. Now I see that I have days three and four to do! I'll...

  Lady Shuttle Maker wanted me to make another picture next to a quarter so that you can all see how delicate this starfish is made with siz...

  When I introduced my green starfish, I said that I couldn't find out his name and country of origin. Well, I definitely know where th...

  We are calling this cat "Blaze" as it looks as close as I can get to Isaac's cat. He calls him Blazey, but I'm sure he ...

Not much tatting for Lala lately. I've caught Isaac's cold/sinus infection and don't feel like much of anything. I have a coupl...

  What more could a Lala want? Krista just sent me the pictures from Sunday this morning. Isn't he a cutie?

  I finished him/her! I was going to try and be very clever by giving you the scientific name and location of this starfish. Scratch that!...

I'm tatting another starfish, this time in green Sulky size 12. It is slow going. I worked on it a very little bit today, but not much...

Well, after the nightmare woke me up and I finally got back to sleep, storms rolled in. We had horrible thunderstorms and tornado warnings ...

Here she is! I've been out of commission for a few days trying to recover from some surgery. I hope I will be mended soon. I did mana...

The only difference is #1 was two colors and #2 is one color. No pattern difference except the mock picot. STARFISH #1 You will need two sh...

  Here is what I hope is the refined, properly lined up starfish. The pattern is not ready yet, but will be soon. I have a wonderful ...

      I just have to share these pictures with all of you nature lover's. I absolutely love this tree. I think I love it as much as my...

I learned something new from Marilee aka Yarnplayer today. In the absence of a web-site for my growing collection of patterns, she taught m...

I occurred to me that I should repost the pictures of these two snowflakes closer to the patterns. The diagrams are still further down in t...

  I tatted Susan's button heart again - properly this time. I used Lady Shuttle Maker's Easter Egg HDT again with another of my gra...

I can't make it work. Basically, every where there is a chain you need to reverse the order of the stitches. On snowflake #2 that appl...

At long last here are the patterns to go with the pictures and diagrams. I have had a lot on my plate lately. For those of you who want to...

Here are three of the snowflakes from Jon Yousoff's new book "Snowflake Collection" that I tested for her. The purple one is ...

A quick note and more later. Jon Yousoff has announced her first book of snowflakes! I happen to know first hand that the designs are spec...

I have tatted Susan Taliaferro's button heart again using Lady Shuttle Maker's Easter Egg HDT in size 20. The button is a pretty p...

        Can you believe this is my little baby? Where does the time go? This is a new chair and his first time in it. We had such fun. I...
