motif #9, #10, #11 of my 3rd 25 motif challenge



#9 is another ruffled heart which is Victats Ruffled Heart design... done in size 10 thread in Bubble Gum colorway, which is not avaiable yet it was merely a test batch of a different dye technique.
#10 & #11 is PAPRIKA the DRAGON by MARTHA ESS I been wanting to make these for my kids as bookmarks and decided to do them. The pattern was so much easier than it looked at first. the one on the left is in bubble gum color size 10 thread with an extended tail in JK. The one on the right is my sons in my Vanilla Mint thread size 10 with an extended tail also done in the ruffle technique. I love these cute little dragons :)

Happy Tatting Day

WOW its so neat we have our own day!! I wander though, since moms get gifts on mothers day and dads get gifts on fathers day etc... if tatters should get gifts on Tatting Day LOL maybe I should run this idea across my husband hee hee
I plan on finishing up another WIP and start on a few things I just ordered Martha Ess' new book found HERE I sooooo cant wait to get it in the mail and just the other day I recieved Linda S Davies books on disc I am so excited to start with these also but i am gonna *TRY* to finish what I have started here now LOL but we all know how that goes ;)
Well I got about 1/2 hour til the kids are up for school. so I may enjoy my chocolate coffee and tatting for a bit after all its international tatting day :)
