Just one

With chores to finish, errands to run, and subbing in the afternoon, I only had time for one Ice Drop. I love this light blue frosted glass gem. It's from the same bag as the dark blue one I used a couple of days ago. I do love my blues!

Mom loves red

Yesterday I posted a picture of a gold pendant that I made for Mom at her request. However, her favorite color is red, so today I tatted a red pendant. The glass gem looks blue in this picture, but it's actually clear. The camera must have picked up a reflection of the blue shirt I was wearing today.

This thread is DMC Diamant, which I purchased from Rita Richmond of Shuttle by Design. I think it's slightly thicker than the Rexana, and it's very nice to work with. I am finding that I need to tat more slowly with the metallic threads in order to keep my stitches even. I don't mind. Tatting is supposed to be fun and relaxing. It's not a race!

Three pendants

I managed to tat three pendants today!

Going dark

I found these beautiful frosted dark blue glass gems on a recent shopping trip, although I can't remember which store. I love the way they look with the Arctic Waters thread!

And now for four beads!

It's been weeks since I started this band. The pattern was very easy to follow, so I don't know why it took me so long. The top and bottom are the right side of the band, with the middle two being the back. I sent a picture to Mom this morning and told her I saw N for Nancy (Mom's name). Mom responded that she saw Zs. I guess it's all in your perspective!
😉

Today's Ice Drop has four beads in place of the picots.

Another pendant is done. I now have six! Christmas in the Village is December 9. I wonder how many Ice Drops and pendants I'll have finished by then?

The three bead look

I didn't have a lot of time for tatting today, but I did manage an Ice Drop!

I also managed a pendant. I like the placement of this bow. It reminds me of a little girl with a big hair bow!

Another day, another Ice Drop... or two!

Today I decided to use stacked beads instead of picots... just a touch of bling!

Once again, I've tatted a matching pendant. I put two of my newest shuttles in the picture just to prove that I do use the beautiful shuttles I purchase. 😁

Our soybeans were harvested today, and for the first time in more than 20 years, I thought to take before and after pictures.

One of the things I love about living in the country is seeing the changes in the fields with each season. I do love the fall!
