T. Gobbler Swoop Turkey

Tom Turkey has never looked so yummy. Celtic Knots & wild color thread in sizes 10 and 80 together with a couple of black seed beads for eyes make this 3D bird a sight to behold.

The animals I have done that will be in a book of Tatted Farm animals by request include the chicken, turtle, and turkey. Still to come are a cow, pig, horse, goat, & who knows what else, along with creepy crawlies.

Now, where's the dressing and mashed potatoes & gravy & of course the pumpkin pie?

I remember thanksgiving day at my grandmother's house when I was little. She cooked a big turkey, a pheasant, ham, and rabbit. My grandpa Bob liked going hunting, and we enjoyed a real feast with all the trimmings!

Irish Lace Snowflake

This snowflake is tatted like the Irish Lace Rose, but with points instead of petals.

Enjoy!

Wierd and Wonderful Hemp Tatting

First my 4 shuttle (or finger tatting) double split ring tatted CHAIN. Each link is about an inch long.
And here a beaded medalion with a combination of tatted Celtic Knot, tatting, and macrame. The josephine knots at the corners are a variation on the same Celtic Knot as the tatted knot at the center.

I enjoyed visiting with the Great Lakes Lace Guild Tatters this month, and teaching some beginners at the Germantown, Ohio library too.
