Painted chickens

 Spent the afternoon painting a couple rocks. A gift for a good friend. 

Christmas tatting

 

I've been having lots of fun tatting these.  The snowflakes are from the book "Four Dozen Tatted Snowflakes by Robin Perfetti.

The top is from "Frivolite Con Sabor" They can be found on Etsy. 

I wish I could tat more. But now I'm having trouble with some of my fingers, as they get stiff and sore when I bend them. I might have to behave myself for a while. :(

Crosses

 Been wrestling with Jan Stawasz's cross. Took me four tries. The left one is wrong. I learned there is such a thing as a counter clockwise ring. Unless somebody knows something I don't. At which case I'd love some advise. 

Jane's water cans

 

I just finished a couple of Jane's pretty water cans. 

Jennifer Williams basket of flowers

 

This basket pattern is a freebee from Jennifer Williams. I did put my own twist on it. I can't seem to master the pearl tatted basket handle. But I did finally get a good demo for the twisted chain. I do like it now that I understand how it's done. 

Spring flowers

 Time for some spring flowers.

Tatted Flower Basket 2022

 

Here's my latest efforts. I've made the basket out of the back of a tissue paper box. I hope it looks ok.
