Another Doily

This one is from Jan's book. I consider myself extremely lucky to have the book. In India unfortunately we don't still have options to access books on Tatting. But thanks to Internet, My life's so simple... But my credit cards aren't.. :-(.

Anyways this book is a treasured piece, Just like the few others that I have and It contains some very pretty patterns. I wish I could make all.

I made this for a friend of mine - Divya. She just moved into her new home and I thought of making her this on the occasion of her house warming. The actual pattern is much bigger that what I have made but I thought this will look good on her Coffee table.

I Hope am right!

Peonia

This is a Doily from Iris's books. I took me 10 days to finish this and I just love this pattern so much that I would wait impatiently to get back home after work and spend time making this.

In the end my husband got so irritated with me that I wasn't spending time with him. :-).

Have a look, I am sure everyone will agree to this.

Iris Niebach Special

I absolutely have no excuse for neglecting my blog this time but humphhhh....

I had so much to share but laziness takes over so fast. So this time I just made up my mind to show all that I have been hiding so far.

So hear you go... Iris had written to me sometime back volunteering to send me a few of her books, and am spellbound, I have no words for the kindest gestures that I have received after entering this tatting forum.

Each person is special and they undoubtedly shower me all the love they can in their own special way, not forgetting to mention what great friendship I share with all of them.

I love you all so much!

I made a small motif from one of her books.

Isn't this beautiful.... This is my favourite.

Long absence

I know I have been neglecting this corner for a long time now... well blame it all on my laziness as well as work, well former being more of the reason.

Last week to be more precise 1st Dec 2007, Sunil (Husband) & I celebrated our first wedding anniversary... seemed like only yesterday since our wedlock and so soon a year flew by... Oh boy how fast time flies...

I have only neglected posting but not tatting. I have been tatting and crocheting as well. I did crochet two hats - both for my husband which I still need to take snapshots of.

Tatting includes this necklace set, which I can proudly claim to be my design... well not quite though, the Pendent is from my previous posting - Motif No.24 , I had no clue as to what to do with it and thought of this. Later I just matched it with ear rings.

This is what I could tat up. So there you go... I am just excited that I could finally tat Jewelery and thrilled how this turned out.

I still have lots to share but I am just waiting to take photos of all that some kind people have presented me and dying to show it to the world.
