Snakes

I thought these colourful snakes would be fun for the boys. Pattern is from Dianna Stevens - Animal Bookmarks, A Tatted Zoo.

I did shorten it to fit my blocks and added 2 smaller rings at the tail end R1+1-1-1. Tatted in Lizbeth Size 20 Col. 126 Paint Brush & Col. 184 Rainbow Splash.

Forever missed

Forever remembered

Forever in our hearts

What

am I tatting?

By mistake, I made a few more rows of block tatting than required.

Toucan 2 & 3

These two toucans are tatted in Milford and Lizbeth Size 20. The toucans are about 3 inch tall compared to the earlier 5 inch. See the difference.

Pretty Bird

This is the pet bird of the car workshop owner which we visited. Someone rammed the back of AAA's car and he had to get the minor damage fixed. The bird did not sing for me but it did flutter nervously around the cage. Probably did not like me there.

Toucan

The thread is labelled as a size 20 but it seems a lot, lot thicker. This bird is about 5 inches tall. This toucan pattern is by Jane Eborall. It still fits the square so I will use it in the patchwork blanket.

Happy 25th!

It takes only a moment to fall in love,

but a lifetime to prove that it was truly

meant to be forever . . . . .

Happy Anniversary

Crab Version 2

This is tatted in a variegated red thread from Flora Size 20. Bigger than the size 50 one. It is much better in a Size 20 thread. The first time round, I thought it was a lot of tatting for something so small but second time round, I found it a fun tat. Thank you Jane for another fantastic pattern.

Tossing Yu Sheng

Every lunar new year, tossing raw fish with shredded carrots, radish, pomelo etc. is a must. For most people, this is done a couple of times, usually with family, friends and colleagues. Read more about this tradition here.

Parrot

I needed one more parrot to make another pair. This is from Jane Eborall's pattern page. There are some more great patterns here. Do have a look.

This parrot is done in Lizbeth Size 20 in Col. 102 or Western Sunset. The other three are here.
