Ferris Wheel pattern is by Jane Eborall and can be found here. I just saw that Fox has tatted one too here. Thank you Jane for a wonderful pattern. Next one to try is Twirly.
The pattern can be tatted using a SCMR for the centre or with a button. The first one on the left was tatted with Venus Size 40 threads in light and dark peach. It measures about 2.5 inches across using up about 3.5 to 4.0m of thread in each shuttle.
The second is tatted in Lizbeth Size 20 in Azalea Medium (#620) and Tropical Punch (#132). That one measured about 3.25 inches across using up about 4.5 to 5.0m of thread.
Here is the seashell coaster in yellow. Tatted this in Milford Mercer Size 20 threads in Sunshine. The pattern is from Susanne Rolf's Mustersammlung book on page 42.
This is an unusual building. A new hotel near Chinatown. I have not been into the hotel but from the ads on TV it looks very sleek and modern.
This Heidi cross did not turn out as expected. Perhaps it is the variegated thread I used. This is a Lene Bjorn pattern from her book 'Tatted Bookmarks - Cross-shaped'. This is tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 in Raspberry Frappe (#157).
I gave the earlier Heidi to mom. Most of the time I cannot remember what I give away and to whom but this one I remembered because she chose this out of 2 or 3 crosses I showed her. It is quite difficult to please mom.
I took a number of photos of different paved walkways. This one is just pebbles. Difficult to walk on if you are in heels, so comfortable walking shoes are a must. The problem with comfortable shoes is that they are never in a fashionable design that goes with your wardrobe. What is your most comfortable walking shoe?
This pattern is one by Dianna Stevens called Spider. Another to add to the collection of tatted animals. I could not make the hanging spider's silk longer as I need it to fit the block.
Tsuru gets a tummy rub every night. She loves it. This is in between tatting, watching TV and surfing the web on the computer. I find that she loves her routine and she gets upsets when there are any disruptions to it.
This is an edging pattern in the book Fantasia 3 by Iris Niebach. Edging a hanky with this pattern would definitely take some effort so I made a little frame instead.
A pretty pattern and it was fun to tat. I use Lizbeth Size 40 #680 Spring Green and Tat-ilicious' Size 40 HDT Punk Princess. Perhaps Size 20 threads with more repeats to make a larger frame would be more pleasing to the eye, . . . scale wise.
To end a meal with little mouthfuls of sweets - from left strawberry marshmallows, yuzu with lime and red bean jellies. Served with the frothy Japanese green tea. Sweet and bitter. Perfect!
I had to follow Fox and tat this too. I love how this turned out. The pattern was fun to tat and the shape of this is perfect that you need not have to block it. This is tatted in Lizbeth Size 40 in Red Burst (#147). The pattern is from Iris Niebach in her book - 'Tatted Doilies'. Annamaria is a variation of Annarita and Annalisa, which is found on the cover of the book. Of the three, this is my favourite. Thank you Iris for all your lovely patterns in this book.
