Motif 21 - 25 Motif Challenge

In between all the Christmas cooking and baking, I tried to tat another snowflake.  This time it's Corina Meyfeldt's Snowflake which can be found on her CM-Handmade blog.  I've always wanted to tat this pattern but didn't have the right tools to attach/thread the bugle beads.  I recently purchased some beading needles off eBay that allowed me to finally attempt this pattern :).

I love this pattern.  So simple to tat and yet so beautiful!  I tatted this snowflake in Lizbeth #20 white thread with ~1cm aqua bugle beads.  I think I need to buy more bugle beads and tat more of these snowflakes!

Looking through Corina's old blog posts, I discovered she had done a step by step tutorial for this snowflake here.

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Cheers,

Jenn :).

I need to finish 3 more projects to complete my "15 in 2015" challenge on Craftree.  I decided to tat this Starry Snowflake by Elaine P Gan.  This pattern is available in her latest eBook of patterns in her Tatting Box store on Craftsy.

This snowflake was tatted in Lizbeth #20 white thread.  This was a fun pattern to tat.  I just need to block and stiffen it.  Just in time to hang on our Christmas tree :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Test tatting snowflakes again for Elaine P Gan.  These two snowflakes are called First Snowflake and Floral Snowflake.  This eBook of patterns is now available in her Tatting Box store on Craftsy.

I tatted both these in Lizbeth #20 white thread.  I used blue seed beads in the Floral Snowflake.  Both were easy and quick to tat up.  I will have to tat these again and with more seed beads :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Recently I test tatted a gorgeous snowflake pattern named Polaris (variation) by Robin Perfetti at Tatting by the Bay.  To find out more and to see more pics of Robin's patterns, please visit her Tatting by the Bay blog and have a look at her Design Gallery :).

This was so much fun to tat and tats up really quick too.  Will definitely be tatting this again but maybe with a smaller thread :).

This pattern is sold in a snowflake pack with 4 other gorgeous snowflake patterns.  The snowflake pack is available for purchase from Robin's Etsy's tattingbythebay store.

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Motif 18 - 25 Motif Challenge

I can not believe that today is the last day for 2014!  Where has the year gone!  Must make sure I have more time to tat in 2015 :).

For my 18th Motif, I tatted Robin Perfetti's First Snowfall pattern which can be found on her Tatting by the Bay blog.  This was a fun and easy pattern to tat as it was tatted all in one round.  Hoping to find the time to tat some of Robin's other gorgeous patterns :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).  Wishing you all the best in 2015!

Cheers,

Jenn :).

Motif 16 - 25 Motif Challenge

A couple of months ago I discovered Teri Dusenbury's blog TATtle TALES Tatting Patterns which are full of gorgeous tatting patterns, gorgeous beaded pieces and Teri's designing process.  There are so many patterns I wanted to tat!  

I finally settled on Wheel of Fortune Snowflake for my 16th Motif.  The pattern/design was used with permission (thanks Teri).  This was a fun and easy pattern to tat.  I did make a mistake at the beginning.  I did not realise that the first clover were floating rings until I tatted the next set of floating rings/clover!  It's obvious where I made the mistake but it is OK as it is for our Christmas tree :).

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).

Motif 13 - 25 Motif Challenge

For my 13th Motif, I tatted this gorgeous snowflake.  The pattern can be found on Patrycja's blog Milczenie nitek.  This was an easy pattern to tat and can be done in one pass using a shuttle and ball.  Will have to tat it again as I just noticed a small mistake!

That's it for now.  Thanks for visiting my blog :).
