Cayden is turning 1 this Sunday!! So, mom Christie got me to make 60 pieces of coasters for her guests and 8 pieces of tatting doilies for her relatives. She has approached me more than a month ago, cos she knew that tatting is not easy... Thanks for her understanding. I would say, this is one of the biggest orders I have!
Thanks to her too, cos I have a chance to 'practice' my tatting, though I've wasted quite a lot of thread =P, it's still worth to try!
They are really lovely. I'm using variegated Floral thread that I bought from Jessica and Ellen. The size of the doily is around 9cm. I hope Christie's relatives will like them too..
Besides that, there are something for the guests... 60 pieces of crocheted coasters... I got Betsy to help me to crochet half of them, cos I knew I won't have enough time to complete all. Thanks to Betsy for her help.
I bought the yarn from Betsy. It's a Japanese cotton yarn. Dear Betsy is selling her yarns online and her pricing is very reasonable... *Tsk*Tsk*

Wow! That's a lot of tatting and crocheting! You and Betsy did a nice job! Happy Birthday to the birthday child! :) I'm off to checkout Betsy's site. :)
The tatting doilies are lovely. Thought of learning but it looks difficult.
Hi Dianne,
Thanks... ;) Check out Betsy's online store...
Hi Ahfat,
Tatting is not difficult but very tedious and better don't make any mistake, cos it's very difficult to undo... :p
You did all these in a month? Oh wow! So that was the reason for you staying up so late. They are all so pretty
I love the bright colours in the thread that you used for them.
Yea... Jon, my next project in line will be your snowflakes... hehehehe... Tatting is really addictive... :p

Yup!! the tatted doilies are beautifully tatted. I almost dont want to give it away.. haha..
All my guests like coasters as they are bright in colours. They thought i made them but i told they are made by my friends. The friends are Julie and Betsy!!!
Hi Christie,
