Pink Bunny

My sister Letty has the cutest goddaughter. We call her "gandulito" (little pigeon pea). She's almost 2 years old and so pretty! Mom bought some t-shirts to decorate and now that I'm here she want me to tat the decorations instead of buying them. Last night I made (for the umph time) Mark's Bunny. I used a darker pink DMC Petra #8. I think it looks cute but mom think that the bunny is not very clear. May be a heart will look better. *sigh* What you think? The bunny will have a ribbon tie on the neck. Also I'm making a simple rings and chains edging for the neckline and probably the edge of the sleeves.







Here is Rosenelly. She's bigger now but this photo is so darn cute!!!

Tatted Barefoot Sandals

I'm a fan of TotusMel's tatting and have been wishing for one of her barefoot sandals but I don't have money to buy them, so I'll make a pair of my own.

Mom is the model. My feet aren't so pretty. I used #10 crochet cotton. I think it's Aunt Lydia's, can't remember now. I shuttle tat, TotusMel needle tat but the results are equally lovely. I think mom will keep these so I'll have to make another pair for me. I'll make them in black. They are pretty quick to make. Took me 2 days, just because I felt lazy sewing the ends.




Here is another view.

Late night tatting

Two hours ago I signed off from Twitter because I was going to sleep but I made a mistake and went to see if the new patterns from Georgia's site were up and there were!  There is the cutest butterfly paper clip bookmark by Ellen and who can resist making it?  Not me!  While I was watching SciFi channel movies (Carny and Chupacabra: Dark Sea) I made these 3.  I used LIzbeth #20 in Seashell color, which is a peach/purple thread.  Love it!!!

Now I'm really tire.  Changed Rioki's litter box and will take a shower and go night night.  Sleep well my knotty friends!

My new toy

Yesterday I went out with mom to get some medical equipment fro her and me and after that I told mom I want to get a Dremel. �I have been wishing for this for a long time and now that we got a little money left I got it. �Boy, this is fun!!!

This model only came with 40 accessories, but it's a good start. �It is wireless, light weight and 10 speeds. �Came with a booklet of instructions that is almost as big as a book I'm reading now. �lol �Came with a lot of nifty ideas too. �

So after charging the battery, this morning I took the biscuits I bought last year and made these:

Aren't they cool? �I'll paint them in a few minutes. �First I have to lunch and then find the spray paint I got also last year. �Hope mom didn't use it all! �Will post the results later.

Tea time! and review

Been a little under the weather and feeling blah!  But shopping for tatting always cheers me up.  I got Martha's book a couple of days before arriving to PR and I have been drooling over it.  Not knowing what to do first.

Martha's book is called "Tea is for Tatting", a collection of teapots and cups.  There are 10 patterns using different techniques and there's even a 3-D set.  A must have book definitively!

I made my first 2 teapots.  The variegated color is a weird one.  It's called "Marble" by Lizbeth #20.  I like the thread, even before the recall (I didn't mind the extra twisting) and when I got some tatting money a couple of weeks ago I got severals, but this will be another post.  

The one on the right has a ring less and it's all crooked.  I didn't noticed the mistake until I finish it and wanted it to lok "straight".  But it's a cute teapot, kinda ike the ones you would find in Alice in Wonderland's Tea Party.  :-)  NOW I have the "Unbirthday Song" on my head!  lol  

I think the next teapot to tat will be the "famous"Antique Rose Set.  everyone is tatting that one because is so pretty!  And I found a dusty rose Opera #20 that I'll use for it and will frame the set for mom.
