At last is coming!

I have been writing, or planing to write a continuation to my book Dreamy Winter.  Thanks to Hope Green and Stephanie Wilson who pushed me to go on on this project last time I was on Palmetto I finally sat to write it.  Well it took me a year after the "push" but te important thing is that is finished and now is in hands of my tat-testers.

The book will include 15 stars and snowflakes; using mostly basic techniques, and some of them beads. 

Here is a sneak preview of one of the patterns

New Design

I haven't design anything per se in months! I think the last design was for my birthday. So I obliged myself to do this idea I had a few months ago. It uses a CD as a base. At the end this will be a multi-use ornament. There are still some other elements I'll add to it. I'm not sure if it'll be included in my next book or will sell it as a booklet. Still have time. :-)

Oh, the next book will be Dreamy Winter 2: Snowflakes and Stars. I'm in the process of rewriting the first one. I lost the master and the printed copy a long time ago but I found a notebook with the patterns. The only part that was completely lost was the Introduction. Someone send it to me but got lost again. I guess this book doesn't want to have an Introduction. lol

Book Review - Boutique Tatting

When I'm depress or anxious I'm dangerous! lol I went to an Etsy shopping spree a few days before I traveled and this week I received to packages. I got Marilee's book of tatted jewelry. I love her designs and have made them several times (the ones on her web site). The book itself is a little jewel. Plenty of photo colors to explain the patterns. I have already made 3 of the earrings patterns and I think that tonight I'll make the butterfly.

Of course I couldn't pass the opportunity to get some HDT. I got some floss in the gorgeous colors of "Rose", "Corsage", "Purple Pansy" and "Blue Pansy". Marilee was very kind and sent me a hank of cordonet #80 in "Purple Pansy".


They look much better in "person" but you can have an idea of the gorgeous colors. I have not decided yet what to do with the threads. May be I'll make some flowers. Mom wants a rose for Mother's Day...

I have been tatting a lot but I haven't yet edit the photos to make them smaller. So I'll post them later. 

This week have been one of recuperation and I think next week too.
