New Tatting Books, TIAS, New Friends and Baby feet!

Well, first off, school has started back officially!  I've got a full load so I will be blogging and dyeing less for the next few months.

I did however get some new books, so I am sure that I will squeeze in some tatting. :o)

 

I did manage to tat this little flower based on the flowers from Mary Maynard's Ring of Flowers.  It's in size 100 Rainbowlicious. :o)

Here is my progress on Jane's TIAS.  So far, my method of adding new thread each day has worked out well. :o)

 Here are my new friends from Mandy's Scribbledolls shop!  Aren't they the sweetest??

 Can you believe it?? I actually tatted with white!!!!  It shocked myself!!  But, it was for a reason!  This is size 80.  I'm working on some tatted flowers for a friend's baby's feet.  So, that's the reason behind my choosing white. :o)

I was so inspired by Marilee Rockley's Jubiloso doily that I'm attempting to do a woven/ celtic add on to my starflower design.  This is how far I have gotten:

This is a prototype of what the tatting on a baby foot looks like:  (Thanks goes to Mandy for letting me use her darling daughter Summer's feet)

Isn't it adorable??  I'm considering adding something along these lines to the Etsy shop. :o)
