for everyone
What I do when I have a lot of tension and stress?  Tat, of course!  I haven't feel well during the week but I tat like a mad woman!  lol

This motif is just something I tat without following any patterns.  The thread is white and has green seed beads.













This one is from Jane Eborall.  The pattern is here.  It uses a cabone (plastic ring) on the center but I don't have those.  I got from Al Ahzar the other days packages of this big sequin with the big hole in the center and I thought to use them instead of plastic rings.  The results are great.  The only thing is that the big hole is not centered, but that doesn't affect the design.  I change the pattern a little.  The threads are white and baby pink.  It has milky white beads and pink beads.  The center sequin is pearly white.






This little cutie is from Tatskool (Pamela Myers).  Again using the big sequin.  This one is a very light green.  But looks great with the white thread and the green beads.  The pattern can be found here.















It was so much fun that I made the more simplified version.  I forgot to add the bead over the ring on these ones.  The top one is white and pink threads and beads with a white sequin.  The ones at the bottom are green and white threads with red and green beads and one has a green sequin and the other is red.

All the color threads are cotton perle #8 El Beida (Egyptian) and the white thead is the last of the Miquita (Peru) in white.  I hope I can get more of it when I go to PR because is my favorite thread!

I'm still stressed so I'm going to tat some more.    I have been crocheting a black doily but yesterday I had to frog several times 3 rounds and now the doily is tossed into the corner until I get my head clear and can follow the instructions of the pattern.

I think the idea of using a sequin is clever. I will say that a few times when using the silver sequin it sometime pealed. I don't recall seeing that on other ones, but if handled right, I'm sure it would be OK! Cute to.

Beautiful Wally!!! Gosh I sure feel like a slow slow tatter, when I see how fast you tat things up! LOL!!!
I do have my exchange doily finished (the one I emailed you about) along with making the orange and black on larger. I think I almost spend more time figuring out what pattern I am going to do next and then choosing the thread (from my slim pickings LOL) than it takes me to tat the project up!
Love your tatting GF! Always exciting to see what you are going to come up with next!
