Aracin and Boomer

Just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. This is my Great Grandson Aracin and his dog Boomer. It took him for ever to get the dog to leave on the reindeer ears on. He is the one who plays with my tatting. I have been tatting and just don't have the time to post it right now.
Right now I need to mix up some peanut butter cookies up so he can bake them tonight. As you can see the coffee table is a mess, he likes to drew a lot and that is where he like to do it.

Lots of Snow

No tatting for now but we do have lots and lots of snow. This is from the front deck. I know there is a street out there. It is still snowing and starting to blow it all around. Nothing much is moving here. No bus's, cabs. a lot of business are shut down.

Here is what it look like from our front deck this is out driveway. So you know what I am going to be doing later tonight after it quits snowing. The fence is 4 ft. high so going to take a while to move all of the snow. Since he had surgery (hope that is spelled right) he cannot help with it. I am afred he will rip out his stichs.

I hope everyone else who lives in the rest of Iowa and anywhere else who is getting this snow storm is doing ok.

I do have a question. I brought a tatting book in the middle of Nov. which has never arrived. I have e-mailed her twice about it and have not heard back from her. Should I e-mail her again, before I contact paypal about getting it resolved?

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas

THANKSGIVING

Just wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. No Tatting right now. DH has been in the VA Hospital for a couple of weeks and is due home on Saturday. So been doing some deep house cleaning while he is gone. Better get back to work on dinner.

A little of this and that

This is from Becky Dempsey book Bugs and Beasts .I did the Rabbit and squirrel in size 20 Lizabeth thread.

The heart is Linda S. Davies heart. Lizabeth thread size 20. Butterfly's are by Marlene Lewis one is Alix's butterfly and the other one is Donna's butterfly.

This is the Chinese Dragon by Ann Bruvold not sure what thread I used but it was size 20.

All of these butterfly's are by Mary Maynard.

This is Beatrice from Iris Niebach book Tatted Doilies. Lizabeth thread size 20.

Now that fall is here I am hoping to be able to post more often. I have the bedroom painted, the out side read for winter. Now it is time to start cleaning the house again

I need to shampoo the carpet. then take a break.

I also went the to VA mt DH had a doctor's appoment. I took my tatting with me and someone asked what I was doing. One of the other guys that was there told them right off. He said his mother, grandmother and great grandmother use to tat. Said his great grand mother could tat with her eyes closed. He also said he had one of her tatting shuttles. The other person who asked is going to try and learn to tat. Great part her husband said he was also going to try.

Will not bore you any longer. Have a great fall.

Leaves, Butterfly, Squirril and Orchid

Tatted Fal leaves pattern by Heather Johnston. Except the bottom one I was just trying to use up the thread on my suttle. The one at the top is
Lady Shuttle Makers leaf pattern. Enjoyed working all of them, It didn't take long at all to work then up.

The butterfly is from Mark Myers book Tatting Patterns for One Shuttle book 1. I love this book. The Squirrel is also Mark Myers it is one the Polmetto Tat Guild 2007 CD which I brought along with the 2006 and 2008. I ordered the 2009 one the other day.

The Dendrobium Orchid is also from the 2007 Plmetto Tat Guild CD. This is the only the second time I have worked using wire. I want to do the Rose that is also on the CD. Not sure what thread I used on them The leaves of Heather's was done in number 5 I think it was DMV. all of the others were done in size 20 thread.
