Ornaments, Snowflakes, and Mermaids

Ancolie is preparing for the new year and wanted to do something funny very quickly without a pattern and she's finding that progress is slow. Wanda created her first Christmas ball ornament cover in tatting and generously shares the pattern. TattingChic comments on lots of blogs and on one of them she won a giveaway just for commenting. Her prize is a lovely tatted snowflake.Jeff's "R" rated posting shows Martha's block tatted mermaids turned into bookmarks to be used as Christmas gifts. Jon has created a lovely celtic style snowflake named Quantiesque and she shares the pattern as her gift to tatters.
Laura's other half took Oisin her leprechaun to school with him. I think Laura just wanted the boys out of the house while she fills her new tackle box with tatting supplies.
Marilee has posted pictures of her beautiful "Dream" pendant and earring set worked in her own HDT.
Pamela has a new grouping of snowflakes in Spring Blossom. It's amazing how different a snowflake looks in white compared to colour. Both are different and both have a unique place in our tatting.
Ruth presents the "Gloria Snowflake" Angels and stars surround the centre of this snowflake. The instructions are available in PDF file.
I posted a picture of my latest creation, 14 inch doily with 20 rows of continuous tatting, Good thing I know how to add in thread, as I got lots of opportunity on this one.
