As much as I do not like the bombardment of Christmas before Thanksgiving has even arrived, I do know that if I want to get anything accomplished before that holiest of holidays arrives, I had better get going on some Christmas items.
And so I am tatting stars. The pattern is from my Aunt Mae who found it in a pile of tatting patterns from my grandma.
Yup. It truly warms my heart like you cannot believe that I am doing an exact pattern that once flew off my grandma's shuttle, too.
The size 10 thread is from here. (Love their speedy service -- phew!.....it seemed like I hit ENTER for my order and 'wheee!' the package was already in our mailbox!)
Ornaments for the tree...
...or I am even thinking of lovely little package toppers for the many gifts that family and friends will receive this year.

They are beautiful and O so delicat. Does tatting take a lot of mental work to learn? Could one learn it from youtube tutorials or would you need a human to guide you? It is something I have loved since I was a child but never learned. Cherrie
you can do just about all of it can't you? :) What treasures these are, such delicate beauties and the fact they come down to you from your grandmother...swoon! I bow before you...fabulous!!
Dawn: those stars are lovely. I inherited my grandmother's shuttle...took a needle tatting class several years ago...also took a shuttle class and totally did NOT get it! Might need to attempt it again. YouTube, here I come.
Thanks so much for sharing.
They look so lovely & dainty! I love, love, love it!
They all look so pretty.
Oh Dawn, you are just amazing. These stars are just amazing. I had never heard of the shuttles, so I had to go check them out. How cool!
You create some beautiful items every time!
Those are just so cute Dawn! If I knew how to make them, I think I would decorate my tree exclusively with them.
Those stars are so beautiful and charming!

They are beautiful. They look like they take a long time to make.
Your tatted stars are so very beautiful. I don't think I know of anyone who has done tatting before. I don't even really have an idea of how it is done. Must do a bit of research. Hope your week is great. Tammy
I've always wanted to learn tatting. Earlier this year an elderly woman in my church gave me her sister's tatting shuttle and thread. I haven't been able to find any classes in my area, so I will try to teach myself this winter. Your work in an encouragement to me. Thank you.
So beautiful! I know habitat, but it takes a very long. It would take me a month just to do the three stars, I'm sure. You are very talented.

Oh these are so pretty! I would really love to find a pattern like your stars and learn to tat. My mother in law used to do it and will teach me. If you have any information on where to buy a pattern, I would really love to learn how to do this! Thank you for all the inspiration on your blog. Your work is beautiful!
