Two more doilies

I have said earlier, that I am into tatting doilies right now, roflol. So here are two more. Both are done in Altin Basak threads, I am trying to use some of the threads that I want to get rid of so I can get some new ones - those Lizbeth threads have some awesome variegated ones and I am tempted in deed now that I can get some of them in the UK.

Designs are from that Russian site that was one of the subjects discussed last time I went to Online Tatting Classes. (free-tatting.com)
The yellow one was the nicest one to do, the green square was very fiddly and the sides do not look straight and turns it into a weird square.
Think I just started the next doily last night, lol. And the onion bookmark from the latest Frauberger tat-session is also ready for showing soon. I have a feeling that a new session is in the oven, yahoo.

Guild doily

I think it is the first time I have posted twice here on the same day, lol.
I am in a doily mood right now, and even though I have been sick an entire week with a very nasty cold, I was able to tat a bit now and then - it is possible to tat in bed if you elevate the head part of the bed, roflol.
The pattern for this comes from my Guild magazine and was designed by one of the members. I am so fortunate to have that national Guild sending out magazines 3 times a year, it is the only domestic tatting contacts I have got and I always look forward to recieving the magazine in the mail.
The next projet have already been started - it is a doily from that Russian site that was discussed in Online Classes this week. A day or two more and it will be done too.

Bookmark exchange

Like so many others I have also taken part in the bookmark exchange at Intatters. Beverly in the US was my partner and sent me no less than 2 bookmarks. The third one is one I sent her.

I also got 2 postcards from New Mexico, it looks so different from where I am.

Thank you very much for the cards and the lovely bookmarks, you've done a great job and I will cherish them.

Beverly, I hope it is OK I used your pictures here!

Here it is

I said I would be back soon ;-D - so this is the finished doily.
Threads are variegated blues in Flora size 20 and the white is Aida size 20. Not the best combination, it is like there's a slight difference in the size between the 2 brands.
Not the best colour combinations I have chosen either, but I hope the friend I am sending it to will like it anyhow. Her name is Lisbeth but she do not have any connection at all with the tatting thread by that name, lol.
Took me around 3 nights to do it, so it was a quick one and not a hard one to do really.
Hhhhmmmm, now the big problem is what to do next, lol.

Long time no see

I am still a member of blogland even though it's been a while since my last posting. Somehow life got in the way, getting rid of a cold and work etc. have taken a lot of my time. But I have been reading blogs though.

But I have been tatting a little bit now and then and last night I started this.

It is another doily that I found the pattern for yesterday when I was looking through my tatting folder on the computer and one that I have not done so far. While I tat this white round I am trying to figure out if the last round should be done with the blue in the center or I should choose another variegated blue thread.
I have done a little tatting while I have been away like the Frauberger sessions we have had at Messenger but nothing is ready for showing yet.

And I also entered an exchange at Intatters and did a bookmark that I mailed to my partner the other day, but untill it has reached it's destination I wont show it online.

So long for now, and I will be back soon I promise.

Time for some eggs

There is a good reason for me being quiet here at my blog lately. You see I have been tatting, lol. Some of the stuff I can post about here now because I have been tatting eggs for Easter.

The celtic eggs above are for my workmates and they will get them this week. The pattern is from my Guild magazine, unfortunately it is not my own design.

Now to figure out what to do next.

First doily after a break

Yahoo, my first doily tatted after the break, must be around 6 months since the last one. It is another Frauberger design, from the reproduction of the awesome old book. It was not hard to tat at all and it is one I have had on my mind for some time to do.My guess is that it has taken me at least 10 hours but not more than 14 hours to tat it.Most of it was done during 2 online tatting sessions me and my Aussie mate have had on Messenger and that is why I have an idea how long it has taken me to do it. I think we must be tatting addicts, who else would get up at 7 in the morning to tat with someone on the opposite side of the globe, ROFLOL. But they are a lot of fun and I would get out of bed no matter what time of day to have one of them.
