Have just finished this wonderful pattern by Laura Bobay, have never used woolly cotton thread before. I'm very pleased with how it's turned out.

Found these in a second hand shop yesterday. Only payed 25p for all of them. What a find.

This pattern is no-longer in print. It is by Pam Palmer and taken from Tatting Treats Two.

I was looking though my patterns and came across this, as I had some HDT just waiting to be used I just had to do tat. I cannot remember where I got this thread but it's size 80 and the pattern called for 40.Love the colour.  It was just right to sit watching TV and tatting last night.

DooDads

Lace-lovin Librarian held a give away of DooDads, well I just had to join in.

 Diane sent two Doodads. I started with this pencil drawing and turned it into the try out below.

 From this I got these ear rings, I used Altin basak in this colour to go with my new dress,go's well I think. Have done picture below so you can see the tatting easyer.
