First! - - nuntium trecesimum vicesimum secundum

I've meant to do one of these forever!  I tatted this in January but didn't put it together until this past weekend.  Ridiculous, I think it took me all of 10 minutes!  But I love how it looks.

This gorgeous pattern is from Renulek.  I got it in her Etsy shop here.

Baby boy - nuntium trecesimum vicesimum primum

Even though I was really pleased with the Keepsake snowflake, pattern from Carollyn, that I made for baby girl, it was a little too loose for my tastes.  So I took out one stitch per ring in the middle and made this for the other baby.

I haven't heard from either family.  I love tatting them though and hopefully someone will enjoy it.

Baby girl nuntium trecesimum vicesimum

My dear colleague who learned to tat a few years ago asked me about making a "photo frame" for her son's wedding photo.  After a LOT of looking, we'd kind of given up until I saw this on Carollyn's blog.  I knew it was perfect for her to make.  I said I'd make one with her and I'd been thinking about some for two different babies born to two colleagues.  So while she worked on hers, I made this!

Isn't Carollyn brilliant?

Minaret - nuntium trecesimum undevicesimum

Here is one of Jon Yusoff's lovely patterns- Minaret in Sand Dollar.

Flurries - nuntium trecesimum duodevicesimum

Okay- maybe this almost shows how shiny these are.

Nah.

MN diamant - nuntium trecesimum septendecimum

Oh I wish I could take a decent picture of these!  They are so shiny and gorgeous!  They look like real silver in person.

Flurry

Can't remember
Update:  This is Muskaan's Hexagonal flake

Nameless (where's the rest?)

I don't know why these look so yellow but they are truly white.  If anyone sees a pattern and you know the author, let me know! (updated 12/16- now named!)

Little flakes nuntium trecesimum quindecimum

Here are a few little metallic thread flakes.  One is from Orsi, one is called Flurry and one is Frivole's Twinkle, twinkle.

getting old - nuntium trecesimum quattuordecimum

For the life of me, I can't remember where this pattern is from.  Maybe Robin Perfetti?  I made this with a little Diamant thread.  I can't remember where I got the thread either but I know Diane got me there!

I wish I could take a better picture because this one just shines!

another bookmark - 6-point Twinkle, twinkle nuntium trecesimum tredecimum

This one was for our TCT exchange.  I like how it turned out!  Frivole's Twinkle, Twinkle- her modification to a snowflake.

It's much prettier in person!
