| I changed one button flake from last years flake by Lenka Hašková and easy to remember and fairly quick to make. |
 |
| I used 2 different size buttons and size 40 thread. I put glue on it but did not need much. could have made it with out! |
 |
| If you click on picture it should enlarge if interested in making this flake directions are typed over picture. |
 words in picture " When we give thanks in all things, we see hardships and adversities in the context of the purpose of life." by Dallin H Oaks. |
| After making the fall leaves from two different patterns, still deciding how to arrange them. All are size 40 lizbeth colors. |
 |
| This little beauty is from "le blogde frivole" fun a quick after you get hang of it. |
 |
| The larger maple leaf is from a book called "Celtic Tatting" leaves and flowers. |
 |
| She does a wonderful job of explaining the twist and encourages you to experiment with making your own style for fun. After the first two I made one in about and hour and a half. |
 |
| This one is a play one a little to bumpy hers looks better. |
 |
| Idea of the size here. |
 |
| This is another way to arrange, but I really plan on stitching the words in, I think :) I was also thinking of tatting more leaves and connecting them for a doily or bowl shape. |
 |
| Every thing went well, and I was modifying a pattern from Work Basket magazine |
 |
| It was early in the morning and a bit in a hurry and grabbed the wrong bottle and like an idiot I kept going thinking I could blot it, it was thick glue "what was I thinking" |
 |
| I just kept going ..... |
 |
| Well you can see it globed it was to thick to and too sticky. |
 |
| I really enjoyed this one but it took 3 tries! |
 |
| Jan Stawasz mixed his two patterns up. Inside rings are numbered wrong and outer chains too, if you try this do the numbers on the doily page for the snowflake. |
 |
| I am having fun handing out my cute little cards for my friends that do not tat! I had them made for me by Sophie at (click on) flutter2me on ETSY |
 |
| she has even place a little crystal on each one |
 |
| In case you don't have the translate app for phone to translate print, I used 6 double stitches in all chains between picots and rings of 4 double stitches separated by 3 picots. |
 |
| Thanks to Georgia Seitz for placing it to download :) |
 |
| To see if this free pattern is here click on "Tally's Poppy". |
 |
| Size 40 thread |
 |
| Attached button with shank. |
 |
Black beads for extra piazzas flower measures 3.75 across. This pattern was also fun to do and all you need is split ring ability! |
 |
| This Pattern is free on Muskaan's TIPS blog, and I love it! |
 |
| I only changed two things, I just added a picot on top chain of petal, to add her roll tatting too (this part fun). Petal little tricky but once I got it it took very little time to finish. |
 |
| I thought I would show construction pictures. |
 |
| pulling the front center flower part through, and adding the greenery |
 |
| I flipped the extra thread and kept encapsulating back up. |
 |
| Cut off ends and sewed the encapsulating thread into secure this one thread. The second thing I did different was the buds were made with clunies instead |
 |
| I loved making this and it was easier than thought, I will make more, thanks Muskaan :) |
 |
| How to make another "Thank You Veterans Poppy"! |
 |
| 6 felt almost heart shapes (smaller) with black beads sewn on then blanket stitched together. |
 |
| 6 larger of same shape and pretty black button! |
 |
| Put together like picture. |
 |
| Gather a bit to give lifelike petals. |
 |
| Add pin or use safety pin, this took 3 hours. Tried to make it look like Brises koloruje found on flicker I know no tatting:( does not happen to often. |
 |
| New shuttles for my collection, (from David Reed Smith)and love them. This is size 80 and they are working well, worth checking out and great price too! |
 |
| I used a product called "Stiffy" by PLAID, or you could add water to white glue. Completely submerge flake. |
 |
| Press firmly to blot with paper towel. |
 |
| I hung this one to dry it came out well no pinning it down. When dry I pressed with iron. I have used other methods for the flakes, this is just one. I am experimenting on yellowing over the years. |
 |
| This is little flake is called Adan by Jon Ysoff. |
 |
| I love to add fishing line to hang them so just there beauty shows. |
 |
| This one is Photogenic so it go an extra picture. |
 |
| And don't make too much fun of my crochet work it has been a very long time, I plan on making a long scarf with this pattern is called Chunky Joy Joy You may want to click on the name to see what it is supposed to look like :) I do plan on adding flowers to this to change the look :) |
 |
| The mistake is here where the needle points to, I did not make the join |
 |
| This is tatted with a size 40 so I used white sewing thread (that is thinner) and whipped stitched it with one back stitch in to hold tight and then attach at picot, and down the other side, with a little back stitch to tie off. |
 |
| To finish off I did same with the ends. To thread the needle I do mash it down with teeth and flatten the thread to poke it through the eye of needle then snip off the moistened thread. |
 |
| Can you see the thread? It is hidden this way. |
 |
| When I took this my dog saw another mistake, I forgot to tat a chain and so that was corrected too. |
