to cute for words, now just to find baby feet to fill with:)

tatting my booties

Finally got the hang of tatting the baby booties. They are awesome to look at, to think a tiny human foot will fit in this lacy little pocket:) I just have to try my hand at tatting the bonnet that goes with the booties.

Well count down to Lindsay and Adams wedding (21 days), the rehearsal dinner is on the 17 of june and the wedding is Friday the 18 of june. I have to start my notes on the wedding cake, size, square, filling, ribbon, and the cake topper.

Tatting my fingers away:)

I finally got the baby booties down pat! I just started my second pair after 4 tries on the first pair. LOL will post pictures soon. My second pair is being done in pink , size 30 DMC condonnet special. This thread has a sheen to it so it is easy to tat with. I also tatted my spring exchange, which is a cross from Mary Konior's book Tatting with Visual Patterns. (just love this book, a must have for anyone) this cross is done with embroidery thread, steel blue, DMC i just love this thread too:) silky to tat with. Hope my exchange partern likes this, will have to put it in the mail soon.

Well we are putting our deposit down on our cruise, so far six of us are going! Excited, anxious and just can not wait.
will have to set up a ticker tracker here to count down the days! October 24 is our departure day 8 days and 7 nights of no worry, relaxation, sun, and just plain old fun.

Ok back to business (tatting) baby booties here i come! Have a nice day everyone!
