I hope everyone in the path of this winter storm is staying warm and safe! Here's a preview of next month's pattern, Annabel Lee.

While planning this collection, I really wanted to give you all some new types of projects and ideas. This pattern is designed to fit most ballet or slipper style shoes, but could easily be adapted to fit lots of other styles! I'm looking forward to seeing you all get creative with it!

Access to the pattern will be posted on February 1st in the Pattern Club group files.

I did it again (shrinked the pattern) ;) the beads are a mix of 15/0 Seed Beads and 2 mm rosequartz with size 30 Thread. I left it plain, without adding more beads yet. But I think I like it this way...

My grandmother sent me some pieces of our family tatting! The first motif was made by my great-great-grandmother in the 1920's or 30's, and the second was made by my grandmother herself. She carried this tote bag around every day for probably around 50 years! Proof of just how durable tatted lace really is!

It's more an everblue but I loved doing it after I got the twist of it. The thread is a size 30 with15/0 beads and some bigger ones I had here...
