Pin-chick Picked Buttons again.

  

                             

                                    I saw it and just had to make it. I am a button collector too :) 

There's  more, I added a small pocket from an old shirt sleave and with right sides sewn together.....

When turned, now you see the back side, and I started this doily from the book "Tatting Mastery" page 100 it is a one shuttle pattern, which I think is my favorite kind of tatting. But making mistakes and not thrilled with the thread
so I decided to stop. It just happen to fit under the pocket.

Adding a stiff card stock or plastic helps stop needle when sewing it on :) 

I made another page and sewed this tab so another page or two on.

I am not finished cause I am not sure if to make this a little first aid kit tatting take along book or needle book :)

Most Items are recycled and the cross-stitching was even bought at yard sell too :)

Another little Angel

I have sewn these angles to a card stock paper,
of course I added some more beads.
I used the gold for a halo effect.
I was giving this pattern and was told it was a free pattern so here it is below

                        

below is  a requests for information about to pictures 

The snow flake in the left hand corner is  really a motif from a book called" Tatted Artistry " ,
and the beaded work is a Gamayun and she is from Russian Folklore and from some writings I have read, she was worn on the crowns of princesses to protect and give wisdom etc. Some more information located here

She Comes With The Snow

She is finished and tatted hair braid too :)

Her face is as big as a quarter.

I really did not do any snowflakes this year, but had them left over from last year, two of them are patterns, and two are some I made up from edgings from antique pattern library, a German book, as I recall.

Cleaning Off Shuttles

The little bird is from the Christmas tree pattern a couple posts back.

the Secret Door Pattern I bought from imsooming I put a different type of stiffener on this, so some glue did show through.

You do need to pin out these little beauties 

pattern is free and on the web sight listed but it is a little trouble getting there. and this was found on Pinterest.

I love these and they are quick and easy to tat up and I will combine them with my little flowers
Have a great day!

U.S.A. Veterans Day!

My Grandfather, Dad, and Brother Severed  This is also another reason I did not want Hilliary for President you can read my brothers statement Here! 

Cornflowers

In this book, "Mastering Tatting" by Lindsay Rodgers

She describes Cornflowers as flowers the grow beneath her corn, 

I thought of the blue flowers called "Cornflower" wonder if that is how the got their name?
Wow it is check it out here looks like they are endangered flowers too 
that's why I didn't make so many blue one :)

This many pictures you can tell I love this doily
have a wonderful Day!

White Christmas with Little Bluebird

Once again a tube of little white beads goes a long ways.
And one yellow and black bead for the beak!

I really enjoyed making this simple one and didn't realize how pretty the bird Was till I made it
The pattern is here

This is placed on a card stock and sewn down, and I added the words to the song  "White Christmas"
I am skipping making snowflakes this year because I never get around to making
trees and candles and angels.
