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.

Motif #23, 24 & 25

I am through with the 25 motif challenge and boy what fun it was... each time I would wonder what to do!

These are my latest creations.

Motif No.23




This is actually a small motif from Gun & Elwy's book and I thought it will look great as a earring too... The thread used here is Yarnplayer's Rhubarub Crisp. I gave the pink ones as a Diwali (Festival Of Lights - celebrated in India) Gift to my Sister in Law and she loved it (I Hope). Now I am on a hunt for more ear ring patterns.

Motif No. 24

This pattern is again from Gun & Elwy's book and looks great as a pendent, Well that's what I have used this as.
I made this in two colors. and the thread used is Rose cotton thread size 20.

Motif No.25

Last but not the least, again from Gun & Elwy's book this motif is done using the same thread as that of Motif. 24. Initially I wanted to make this in a single color thread but I had lot of unused threads still wound in my shuttle. It still came out good so I am happy and no regrets.

Motif #20

Motif No.20


This is a gift for my husband's friend who celebrated his birthday last month. But due to tax season he is quite (he is also a CA) busy and I am unable to give this to him. I am now having second thoughts on parting with this. He just bought a new apartment and I thought this would be a good gift. The motif is from Gun & Elwy's book and I made this with two colors.

I just hope this blends well with in his new home, and he likes it.

Motif #12

Motif No.12



This is also from Gun and Elwy's book... there a a lot of patterns in that book and each one is worth to try out.

Motif #10

Motif No.10



This also is one of Gun and Elwy's patterns. I did this with the thread which I purchased from Marilee, the one with lighter green shade. I Just love her thread and am saving it for some really good patterns.
