nuntium centesimum undequinquagesimum- Dreamcatchers

So, off of my "designing" kick, I finally had the nerve to try something I've been wanting to do for a year! My daughter loves Dreamcatchers and after I saw the lovely ones on Tatting Lace in Grace, I asked for help on how to make them.  Most graciously, she made a tutorial for me!
I'm so pleased with the results!

1st effort- Herbal Garden Lizbeth #20  MOTIF #25!

Blue Ice for my other daughter

Both girls said they were too big for earrings so #1 is going to be a pendant and tomorrow I'll show you what #2 asked for.

Minnesota is truly the land of extremes- very cold winters but oh, the summers!  My lovely tatting spot (the patio) is so wonderful right now and the hibiscus has gone crazy.

And in a surprise move, my wonderful husband took me to get more plants and we found jasmine for only $10.  It will never survive the winter and usually it's so outrageously expensive, I can only sniff it at the garden shop.

After he put it in the pot, it went to the patio.  I tatted both dream catchers right by it!
