Holiday Spices

The sounds and scents of the holidays will soon be upon us. I love the scents of holiday cooking and wanted to make a pendant about spices. This is my Holiday Spice Tatted Pendant, made using Lizbeth threads and inspired by a 1916 edging.

Available in my etsy shop ( https://www.etsy.com/listing/113406106/holiday-spice-tatted-pendant-free or on my website ( http://www.PeachtreeCottage.com )

I already have another idea using these same colors...so watch this space for another 'spice' item to be posted soon.

Vineyard Butterflies

I know I know...I said I was going to work on some winter stuff, but I just love the colors in the Vineyard Harvest Lizbeth Thread. So here's a quick little pair of earrings with some "Vineyard Butterflies"...hehe

And I just got in another thread with fall colors so there might be some more fall stuff before I get to winter...lol...just saying....

Autumn Leaves

I've really gotten into the fall season this year and have been enjoying the autumn colors. Add to that some great patterns from various designers for leaves and other things and well....it's made my fall enjoyable :-)

This time I used some greens to make up some little leaves as earrings. The leaf design is by Joelle Paulson and I used size 20 shaded green thread. I think they make a perfect size for earrings :-)

Now it's time for me to start working on some winter stuff. :-)

Vineyard Elegance

I recently saw several tatters working with 'doodads' and wanted to give it a try. Joelle Paulson had a lovely pattern for one, so I ordered some doodads. When they arrived I took my shuttles (which had Lizbeth's Vineyard Harvest already on it from making my Vine Bracelet) and starting tatting away. The result is the Vineyard Elegance Set.

I did the full pattern for the pendant and did a shortened version for the earrings. I think the set is lovely and noticed it will really coordinate well with my Harvest Vine Bracelet too!

They are available in my etsy shop ( http://PeachtreeCottage.etsy.com) or from my website ( http://www.PeachtreeCottage.com )

Vine Bracelet

I wanted to have a simple bracelet design so I started playing around with some thread. This is what it ended up being.

I call it my Vine Bracelet and it's my own design though probably very similar to some simple edgings or things others might have done. I just tatted, wasn't looking at any pictures or diagrams. I took notes of what I did so I could make more in other colors if people like this one.

I think it looks like a vine runing back and forth so I call this my Vine Bracelet. This particular one was done in Vineyard Harvest Lizbeth thread so its name is Harvest Vine Bracelet.

Update: I've found a very similar design on free-tatting.com however the knot counts are different from the ones I used. Plus that one has picots that this one does not. I was not aware of that pattern's existance when I created this without a pattern.

Some Pumpkin Fun

Just for fun I made up a quick earring and pendant set of pumpkins. They are only about 1 inch big (small?) but cute and were really quick and easy to make.

Double Maple Leaf Bookmark

I love working up maple leaf designs and decided to take two of them, one by Tammy Rogers and one by Joelle Paulson and put them together as a double leaf bookmark using some Lizbeth thread in fall colors. Here is the result:

Fall Is Here!

It's turned chilly, and the leaves on the trees are turning a multitude of beautiful colors. This prompted me to make another set of Yarnplayer's Maple Leaf Earrings. This year I added some gold beads around the edge and I love how they glitter in the light. I will definitely have to make more things with BEADS ! (It's sooo much easier now that I have a big eye beading needle. YAY!)

Aren't they pretty?!

Hot Apple Pie

The lovely colors in this thread remind me of Red Delicious Apples, Yummy Caramel and Fresh Whipped Cream.  I think it works up nicely as a bookmark.

Maple Leaves Everywhere!

I'm not usually a red/yellow type color person.  I much prefer softer blues and pinks and other pastels most of the time, but this year for some reason I fell in love with fall colors!  I loved how the colors of the thread worked out on the little maple leaf earrings I made...so much so I decided to make a bigger maple leaf!  Once I'd done that I decided to turn it into a bookmark.  I just might have to try this again soon with some more thread in different fall colors. Only problem is these put me in a 'lazy day' mood and that just doesn't work for trying to get things done!

Autumn Earrings

Finally got the pictures taken of some fall style earrings I've been working on.  The leaf ones are from one of  Yarnplayer's patterns and the other style is from Free-Tatting.com.  I worked them up with some Lizbeth threads in what I thought were great colors for the autumn season.

More tatting stuff coming soon!
