nuntium quinquagesimum tertium (53rd post) wreath

Happy Bluebird, my daughter and I got together today for a fun afternoon of tatting.  Cindy wanted to try beading  so I brought along my bead spinner and she brought some beautiful green Cebelia and off we went.  Somewhere on Teresa and Dena's blog, we saw Mary Konior's Posey done with beads and liked it.  Teresa did it here.  She did hers with three beads which looks even nicer.  Now that I've made it, I LOVE it.  A one-shuttle little dream and the simple beauty of MK's design made something that stopped my husband in his tracks.  Take a look!
motif #1

I might have to make another one.  I've decided to join the 25 motif challenge again!

Heather of Heather's Tatted Treasures is having a fantastic giveaway, details here.  13 balls of Lizbeth thread!  If you don't already follow this blog, I encourage you to do so.  She has the clearest, most helpful videos for learning tatting, plus she's a great writer.  I've been tatting for 30+ years but still enjoy it.

    That would have been my blog last year . . . doesn't that make a lovely wreath? I think I might need to make another one this year just because that's a fun pattern to tat!

    Yeah- amazingly. Here's Darice's official video, but it really does work that simply. Best $12.50 I've spent in a while. (1/2 price at Joann's)

    Ooh, I really like this motif and it is very well executed! What most appeals to me is how each of the leaf sets folds into the next one, creating an elegant flow around the whole circle.

    And thanks for the props. I'm glad you enjoy my blog.
