Just finished this pair of booties for a lady in America. The pattern is in Tatting by Cathy Bryant. I wonder how many times I've made these? Hmmmmmm

Odds and Ends
I had an evening off yesterday and made the starfish below for a customer. Yes, I will put the pattern on my site (eventually) although it's really a bit of a 'steal' from another pattern. No copyright issues here, though, cause it's one of my own I've stolen!!!!!!! Underneath that is a birthday card I made a while back for number one grandson. I used Martha Ess's wonderful little 'New Critters on the Block' designs. Thanks, Martha for the 'boy orientated' patterns - just right for Callum.

Handkerchief Finished
I don't like doing handkerchief edgings but was asked for one so did this!!! It's the pattern on my site - One Pass Edging and works out about 1 1/4" when I used Finca Bollilos linen thread. I'm actually quite pleased with it!!

Antique Lace
Antique lace - some of which I need help with in identifying. Please contact me on lovetotat@gmail.com if you can help.
5 above are crochet and measure 6"
Above is Irish crochet in a fine thread - possibly 60 - 80.
Irish again above measures 15" perfect.
Crochet above measures 12" perfect.
This may be bobbin 19" across and perfect condition.
Not known - help needed 9" perfect.
Knitted - I think.
Possibly bobbin 7" across perfect
No idea - 13/14" perfect and I have two!
Think this may be needle - it's spectacular perfect and 16"

Why I've been quiet lately!
This is why I've been quiet!! I listed some tatting on ebay and orders for more stuff has been coming in. I've still got a hanky edging in white to complete and a pair of babies booties. Then there may well be a pair of seahorse earrings too. Another lady wants a starfish but the idea's still in my head!!!
Just to show you some of what I've been up to!
