Let it snow! Day 18

This is the way yesterday's snowflake was supposed to look! This is Doodad Snowflake #4, minus the doodad, with a single bead replacing each picot.

Someday I'm going to take the time to figure out how to take a good picture. The beads really look pretty, but they don't show up well in the picture. Now that I've taken the picture, I can see that one of the rings is distorted. I wonder how that happened?

Let it snow! Day 17

Well, I goofed. Once again, I failed to follow my own directions.

Instead of tatting a variation of Doodad Snowflake #4, I managed to tat a variation of Doodad Snowflake #2. This one only has five beads replacing picots instead of the seven shown in #2. At least I didn't tat a snowflake that's identical to another. Whew! ;-)

See the difference? My chains are going the wrong way. Maybe I'll give it another try tomorrow.

Ooh! Ooh! I just noticed... this is post #1111! Pretty cool, huh?

Let it snow! Day 16

Here's another version of Doodad Snowflake #4. The difference between yesterday's and today's is the number of beads replacing the picots. Yesterday, I used three beads. Today, I only used one bead. The pink doesn't show up as well, but it still looks pretty!

Let it snow! Day 15

This time I tatted Doodad Snowflake #4 with 3 beads in place of each of the picots. It's much prettier in person than it shows in the picture!

Let it snow! Day 14

Today I tatted Doodad Snowflake #4. I do like my little snowflake patterns. That may sound a bit egotistical, but I like them because they're so quick to tat, leaving me time for my doily!

We had a beautiful 4" snow overnight, which really helped put me in the Christmas spirit. I love nutcrackers, and this year they're standing at attention at my living room window.

My grandchildren love choosing a nutcracker to take home with them. These are the ones they can choose from this year. My grandson plays soccer, so I'm hoping he chooses the soccer nutcracker. It's certainly not a run-of-the-mill nutcracker!
