Nothing New Except TIAS Day Three

 I am starting to think my choice of thread was very wrong.  Maybe because there is so much gray or maybe it's the shape, but I am thinking it will be an elephant (which would make my sister very happy since she collects them).  

Since I had the cell phone out and my computer was updating, I opened my tatting tin to see if there was anything I hadn't photographed.  I had no idea that there were four rings in there.
The two colorful ones are both Marilee Rockley's design, Remembrance Ring.  The orange one is the first round of the same ring, and then just chains to finish it off.  The flower is beaded, not tatted.  


This snowflake (which is on its side) is another December Motif designed by Joelle Paulson.  While making snowflake after snowflake, I realized that I never make anything for my wonderful husband, so I grabbed obnoxious orange thread and blue beads to make a New York Mets-colored snowflake.  He didn't care, but ... whatever.  Thought that counts and all that jazz, right?

Hope you're all having a great week thus far!

Okay, okay... Here goes nothin'...

I never finish.  Hopefully, this time will be different.  I present to you TIAS 2015 Day 1. 

 I snugged too much to the button on the first ring, but I already knew that ring would be messed up because I am just plain horrible with tiny rings and my hands felt too oily to tat.  I dove right in, though, and I promise there really are two rings there.  Hopefully, I'll get to scan after the next bit is released. :-)
