No I haven`t......

I know some of you may have thought I had fallen off the edge of the world but not to worry I have not.......not yet that is!!!!!!!!

Let`s see what to start with........August as been a very busy month!!! A friend of mine re-married her first husband in June and they had a wedding dance the first of September. So I was asked if I could make her a tiara to wear for the dance, which I did!!

Here are some pictures of the tiara and the bride with the tiara and veil added!!

It is tatted in size 20 Lizbeth thread with purple beads added. The pattern is from the 30th Anniversary Book of Patterns by the Ring of Tatters. The designer is Pat Polley! I was also asked to help make the decorations and wreath for the event. 

I have also been busy test tatting patterns for this years tatting weekend in Cambridge Ontario for the Fringe Tatters. Along with that, Vicki (Victats) asked me to do some testing for her too. This pendant was inspired by some of the new things I did for her!!

It is tatted in Lizbeth size 20 and was free style. So are these doodads I added tatting to as part of Diane`s Doodad Dare!! I really enjoyed trying new things out with interest pieces and beads!!

In other news I was able to get a part time job at a local grocery store. It is only 8 hours a week but something is better than nothing!!! 

I also have found that the start of the school year was difficult for me. My son has entered his last year of high school. It reminded me of his first day.....can any one tell me where the time has gone!?!?

I will have more later. Hope all is well in your part of Tat Land!

Tat to you later, Kelly.

 Hello to everyone in Tat-Land

I have been busy making these jewelry sets to sell this week!! I`m only showing this one as it is the only one I kept for myself!! It is done in another of Karey`s beautiful HDT in size 20. In total I did 15 sets. The others were done in a number of lovely Lizbeth threads!!

 The pattern is Krystledawne`s ``Spanish Dancer`` that I helped test tat a while ago!!

 This is what is in the middles are these pieces!! The larger ring is about 1/2`` across and the smaller is only 1/4`` across. I just needed to do less repeats for the earrings.

I`m hoping they sell well as I am putting the money away for this weekend. Our annual ``Water Front Festival`` is this weekend; with art tents, craft tent, a market place and mid way rides. I usually can pick up some birthday gift while I am there and sometimes something for me!!!

Must run now.....housework is a-waiting!!

Tat to you soon

Kelly

The good with the bad!!!!

 Hello All

I hope everyone is having a better day then me!!!!

But first some good stuff!!

 

Here is Janes`wonderful new pattern. She challenged me to try him out seeing that I am needle tatting and sometimes things don`t always work out. But this guy did!!! He measures about 3`` long and was tatted in Altin Basak threads.

 

And it is always good when you get mail that has threads in it!!! Above is some threads Diane that Lace loven Liberian sent to me to try out!! I don`t know..... they are really fine.Thanks Diane!!!

 

Also in yesterdays mail my order from Marilee Rockley arrived!!! I really  love her HDT. I ordered Garden Afternoon in both size 30 and 40.

 

Now for the bad!!! You know that the day is not going to go well when in the wee hours of the morning you get up and trip over the dog and land on your knee. And of course this knee is on the same leg that your ankle was operated on 7 months ago!!!!

Good news that I did not re-injure the ankle. The knee took the full landing!!! Boy it hurts!!

Then while I was about to e-mail a resume in for a new job the hydro goes out just as I pushed send!!! 

I have to go and do some errands but I promise I will be very careful driving out there today!!

Tat to you later

Kelly

I`m in love.....

 Good Morning Friends

Yes!!! It is true.....I`m in love!!!

With Marilee Rockleys Small Maple Leaf pattern. I purchased it from her on line store and I can tell already that my whole day will be spent tatting these little guys up!!

The larger one is done is Karey`s HDT in size 20 and the smaller one is done in Altin Basak (50) thread with white seed beads. I`m going to be making earrings out of the smaller ones. They measure 3/4 `` wide and 1 1/2 long. I`m going to be ready for Canada Day this year!!! (July 1st)

 Next is Janes tatted Red Eye Tree frog. I tatted him in size 20 Lizbeth thread. Being a needle tatter I have to do some things differently but he came out pretty cute.

That all is all for now. I will have to put the tatting down but for only a little while today, so I can apply for a new job listing I found. Wish me luck!!

Tat to you later,

Tatfully Yours
