Doodad Double Dare #15!

Marie at West Pine Creations finished her Doodad Double Dare... a pair of gorgeous earrings! Go take a look, and please leave a comment!

Doodad Double Dare #14!

Crazy Mom finished tatting with her doodads! Wait 'til you see what she's made with some of Karey's HDT and some adorable charms!

Last night I finished the first round of Jon's Tat-Along for the second time, this time in Lizbeth Denim Blue Lt. #650. That's right... the second time. I started it in size 40 Berry Burst, but I can't find where I put it. I know it's attached to two shuttles, so it can't have gone far!

Doodad Double Dare #13!

Allison finished her Doodad Double Dare, which was doubly challenging for her... she received the tiniest of doodads, and since they were so small, I sent her four!

Lucky me...

Allison sent me one of the snowflakes she tatted for the Double Dare! Thank you Allison!

Frivole's Square Elegance

I love this pattern!

My goal is to someday tat it as beautifully as Frivole does!

Oops! Forgot details... size 20 Lizbeth #650, Denim Blue Lt.

The Next Tollway Tatters Meeting

I decided that it might not be the best idea in the world to post all of the details of our next Tollway Tatters meeting on my blog for all the world to see.

If you are interested in attending on Saturday, Sept. 29, send me an email and I will give you the pertinent information.

Hope you can join us!

A wonderful weekend!

The weather was absolutely fantastic this weekend! Our granddaughter Eva spent the weekend with us, so I didn't get a lot of tatting done, but I did finish one piece.

This is Maria from Tatted Bookmarks - cross-shaped by Lene Bjorn, with two modifications. I left the picots off the rings, and I changed the rings at the ends of the tassels. I was hoping for a more masculine look. Do you think I succeeded? The thread is size 20 Lizbeth #173, Purple Marble.

When we arrived home, I found two very special packages in the mail. First, some luscious new HDT from Monica! Monica proposed a swap when she saw my rose shuttles... HDT for shuttles. Being an HDT addict, I quickly agreed, and I'm so glad I did! Aren't the colors gorgeous?

My other package contained the most beautiful rose pin I have ever seen! This gorgeous embroidery on felt is by my dear friend Paulette aka Beedeebabee. I just adore her work, and I would recommend her to anyone! Right now, she has two Halloween-themed pins that I am sorely tempted to buy... an adorable witch's hat and a pumpkin. I wonder if she'll be making a black cat as well? I'll have to ask her!

I hope all of you had as wonderful a weekend as I did. My batteries are re-charged, and I'm ready for another fun-filled week at school!

Doodad Double Dare #12!

Margaret has finished her Doodad Double Dare! She did a beautiful job with two different patterns. One is an Anna pattern in Scottish Thistle, a favorite color of mine. The other is Fox's Athalia in Summer Fun.

No pics in this post... you'll just have to pop over to Margaret's blog to see what she's done!
