Liyarra's Tatting Nook

Over the last few months I have had a bit of a pattern purchase splurge and bought several patterns from Robin Perfetti's Etsy shop - tattingbythebay https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/tattingbythebay I bought the Magic Square, Bouquet Doily, and Classic Heart pattern to add to her Snowflake Pattern Pack and Tatted Coasters Pack I bought way back in 2016. (yes they are still sitting there waiting......) So I thought I had better get out there any do some of them. Firstly I have to say - if you haven't tried one of Robin's patterns please treat yourself to one or more. Even if you check out her free ones first, that she so generously makes available, on her blog Tatting By the Bay http://tattingbythebay.blogspot.com/ You will be rewarded with some of the nicest and most logically set out patterns you will ever see and they all tat up beautifully! So..... firstly I did the Classic Heart (gave it away and the only photo I have is dodgy...oops.) But seriously it is a gorgeous pattern

I was looking through Etsy and came across a shop that sells silver jewellery. On their page were some gorgeous earrings that looked like tatting so I went and had a closer look. The workmanship looked ok and the price seemed reasonable so I bought a pair. Well...they are stunning! Lovely little oval sterling silver tatting rings about 12mm long. The shop owners are wonderful to deal with and I am very very happy with my little winter smile present to myself! The shop is called TedandMag https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/174580640/sterling-silver-lace-earrings-silver?ref=shop_home_active_5
