What happens when you put Mary Konior in the dryer?

This!

Just kidding! It's just a scaled down version of the ever famous Spinning wheel pattern. Shown above next to one done in sz 20 Lizbeth (which happens to smell specially nice rignt now, hubby spilled a bottle of home fragrance oil on it.) The little one is about two inches, I dropped the stitch count as well as the repeats to get it to pendant size. It's on it's way for a quick blocking and then it will join the other pretty things on etsy.

Done in a varigated oren bayan.

This might be the last post for awhile...

I'm having contractions on and off all day today, but that's not going to stop me from showing some more tatting pics!

The first two pair are repeats, just much better pictures. I took advantage of the daylight! The others below I did last night and this morning. Tell me what you all think of the green thread with purple coin pearls. You all are my design testers :-)

The pink ones are a repeat of an orange pair, this time with beads.

All but the last pink ones are done in Lizbeth, the pink is Oren Bayan.

The fruit of my......ermmm......labor

Wow, I just realized how long it's been since I posted anything I've actually tatted! I swear I've been tatting away. Self imposed bed rest is over, we are home free to deliver any time now. In fact last night was a pretty good false alarm. I never had false labor with my first, so I'm glad to know now and be able to tell the difference and not be calling the midwife every ten minutes :-)

here is what I accomplished in my two days of sitting. (BTW hi-five to hubby for keeping things from exploding around here for me while I relaxed!)

Here is Iris Neibach's Nora done in Oren Bayan. I love the colors, but made mistakes so it's not my favorite piece in the world. It looks summery and was inspired by my desire to own this set of dishes:

I also finished the first four projects from the TAT program. I'm only posting tidbits, I don't want to spoil the fun for those of you wanting to start the program as well. These are just teasers :-)

Last of all, at some point in the tatting maddness I threw these earrings together just to take a break from all the other stuff. Not blocked yet, but you get the idea.

Now it's time to get my darling little 2 yr old all ready for bed. After that, some dishes, and then some American Idol and more Tatting! I'm savoring every stitch.
