Paprika the Dragon

This is Martha Ess' dragon, his name is Paprika. I made a mistake on him. Well, I'll have to try again.

ID: 23351 I just received this neat book from Singapore. It's a great instructional book for beginners, plus it has some cute patterns that I can't wait to try. They also sent me this adorable clover leaf bookmark. I am delighted.

Big Spinning Wheel

I've had this in my head to try for a long time. It's Mary Konior's glass mat, only I added to the length of the rows. The thread is a Cro Sheen #10. It isn't singed, so it took some extra care not to make mistakes. But I did anyway.
Kudos to Martha for making her progressing spinning wheel. That's the inspiration I needed.

Glass Mat #8

This really is mat #8. I'd made #7 the same colors as #6, so I didn't put it in.

Pastel Bunny gets a garden

Pastel needed a nice spring garden patch to enjoy. Today he goes to a dear friend. She loves bunnies and has a collection of them. I wrote a little poem inside.
When you're feeling lonely, when you're feeling blue. Look at little bunny and know I pray for you.

Pastel the bunny

My girlfriend wants a bunny. She asked for a variegated one. I have lots of #10 crochet cotton laying about. This is made from Cro-Sheen. It doesn't like to slide very well. I used plenty of Thread Heaven.

OH OH !!

Oh oh, in true bunny fashion, they're multiplying. The one on the far left has a larger bead nose. I like it better.

Glass Mat #6

The color is Lizbeth #115, Springtime.

Two Little Funny Bunnies

Theses two little cuties are from Two Shuttles. Designed by WIKI fasclnata.blox.pl. I thought they were so cute, I just had to give them a try. I tried two different things for the nose. One worked better than the other. I'm already making a third one.

Pram #3

Here's Jane's pram in pink. One of the ladies in my knitters group knew she'd be wanting one on a card, but didn't know yet if she'd need pink or blue. Frankly, I like the variegated. But they're all cute.

Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep, and doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home.
Dragging their tails behind them.

Jane's puppy, Spud

Here's Jane's cute puppy, Spud. He looks much better now that I've blocked him up. I tried to put him with Crinoline Lady and have him pose as a sheep. But he wasn't pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. Crinoline lady will be along shortly, as Little Bo Peep. And she can't find her sheep or a puppy.

Rainbow-licious

I finally got my rainbow-licious today, from Tatilicious. It's size 20. I think it's soooo pretty. Can't wait to make something with it.

Glass mat #5

This one went much easier. I finally got used to the pattern and learned to check on myself once in awhile. I did have to pick some out, but didn't have to cut and tie. It's made with Lizbeth # 129 Purple Splendor and # 624 Raspberry Pink Med.

Glass mat #4

I adore these little glass mats. (Mary Konior's Tatting With Visual Patterns). I still have a struggle getting them done correctly as my concentration isn't always up to par. But I haven't quit.

Baskets

Handy Hands puts out a catalog that has this little basket pattern in it. I traced the basket on to cards and then colored them. Then I tatted all the little flowers. The flowers are quick and fun to make.

Prams on cards

My ladies "knitters" group likes my prams on greeting cards. I think I may be getting a call or two for these. Gotta get on some extra pink and blue.
