nuntium centesimum vicesimum quintum (125th post) Where is this from?

If you read my blog regularly (tricky if I don't post regularly), you maybe realize that I've been posting tatting backwards from the end of the school to my last post in March.  The problem with this method is that I can't remember where things are from.   For example, I know I saw this on someone's blog in May and I wanted to do it.  I don't even know where the pattern is from- Gina Brummett maybe?  This is more of Anika's HDT, both colors.  (now edited, thanks to Margaret:  This is Rita Weiss' design.  I know I got it from the internet somewhere because I don't have the book and I didn't count from the picture.)

Yikes.  And they let me work with young people?

nuntium centesimum vicesimum tertium (123rd post) basket

I really enjoyed making a basket and doing split chains in April and managed this one after Easter.  It's from the same little pamphlet from Tatsy (I got it maybe 20 years ago?) where I made this from.
motif #8

The thread is glorious HDT from Anika who dyed it specially for me for shamrocks but I loved it so much I had to make something else with it too!

On Pinterest (evil, time-sucking invention), I saw this and thought I could do it with my vintage threads from Aunt Rose-E.  My sister, queen of finding everything anyone could ever need, found these large Vlasic pickle jars for me.  But I think I need a 4th one!  Or two smaller ones. 

I'm pleased with this instead of just having them stuffed in a drawer in a closet.  My younger daughter and I had a fun time deciding which colors went where.  She still disagrees...
