...sincerest form of flattery

Where to start. Well, I had seen these little leprechauns that were being sent to lucky tatters. They were made by Pamela, and were just so cute! They would just show up out of the blue, and get into all kinds of mischief in their new homes. I wanted one very badly, and so, I tatted myself one. (though the real ones aren't tatted). Though, I only had a few pictures as references, and I don't know what kind of coin the others are holding I tried to make them look like their cousins. I named him Conor, as that means "lover of hounds" and if you know anything about me, you know I love my dog! Conor is getting along great here, first thing he did was make friends with my tatted dragons. Here he is riding my big dragon (pattern by Sherry Townsend), as my little 3d dragon, PD, watches. I hope Pamela doesn't get mad that I copied my tatted one to look like hers, but I thought hers were so cute, and wanted Conor to fit in with his cousins.

Here is a photo of Conor consoling Rebel. He went to the vet today, and got shots and bloodwork (yearly thing) and look at the bruise on his arm! Ouch.

project X continues

Here is Project X as it is progressing. I haven't blocked it yet, and won't until it is finished. I do try to hide my ends as I go, but I have a couple to do yet. Just so you can see how it is going.
Any guesses yet? and for the one person who probably knows what it is, no hints to anyone!

Snow snow snow

Oh, it is snowing out! I went out and took some pictures, here are a couple of snowflakes someone might use to make a tatted snowflake pattern with! I will be posting an updated picture of project X later tonight...dundunduuuuuuuuuuuun....

Projects 09

I have started a new project for this new year. I am going to show the progress here, and try to make sure I write down the patterns as I go. I am not going to tell what it is, I will call it Project X when referring to it, to keep everyone guessing. It is a big project, so I will do it along with others I have planned. Here is a picture of the beginnings. Have a guess as to what it will be?

In my Yahoo blog, I mentioned tatting resolutions I made. Such as tatting patterns of others that I have had a long time, and wanted, but never done. I have been doing some, I just finished this lovely doily by Abby,

and the Celtic Spider Boudeca by Ruth. Though my Boudeca doesn't stand up too well, I think I made her legs to long or too heavy, I still think she is cool! I am not sure what I will tat next, besides Project X, I guess I should start thinking about the fair in July, but I will keep you posted.
