The Rest of the Snowflake
Special Tiny Snowflakes for New Tatters
What happens when you change a few things?
The first Christmas Snowflake 2012
Its not too soon to start tatting for Christmas. It will be here before we know it. I have two patterns today. This is actually the center of the large snowflake, but is a snowflake in its own right:
A Simple Little Edging:
This is great for beginners or needle tatters....a simple edging that will look good on just about anything.
I've used size 30 Cebelia.
Shuttle & ball: R 3 ds, p, 3 ds, 3 p sep by 1 ds, 3 ds, p, 3 ds, CLR. *Turn work. Ch 5 ds, 3 p sep by 1 ds, 5 ds, Turn Work. R 3 ds, j to last p of last R, 3 ds, 3 p sep by 3 ds, 3 ds, p, 3 ds CLR. * Repeat * to * until you reach the desired length.
Note that on my work I made the center picos large - you can do yours all the same size or like mine.
Enjoy!
Happy Tatting

This is just a simple tatted flower. Not much in white but you sure can use green for the stem and leaves, maybe yellow for the center and a color for the petals and that would make it pop. I tat these things then they go into a box and I don't see them again. I keep them simply for future books or articles I wish to make.
This is tatted in size 30 white Cebelia. It measures about 4 1/2" long and 3" wide. I think if I did it again it would look better in size 20 thread.
A fresh new medallion for a brand new year. I just felt like using my David Reed wooden shuttle so sat down and tatted up this medallion in size 10 thread. The shuttle is a larger one that I ordered specifically for larger size threads.
Here is the medallion - or small doily. It measures approximately 5 inches across and is, of course, super easy - so you new tatters get your shuttle.
