The first Sunday in December was Ellyse's blessing. I was a great day for our family. My mom bought a blessing bless a few years ago for my sister but she had a boy and so it sat unused for about 6 years. I liked the dress but not the lace. It looked very Gothic and Catholic so I was not use if I wanted to use it. After looking around and not finding something I liked that was within my price range I decided to use the dress. I removed all the lace very carefully around the sleeves, collar and bottom of the dress. I tatted some lace to replace the lace I removed. I think it turned out very nice.
I started tatted these booties after learning that we were having a girl with the ultra sound. They took about 30 hours each. They may not have taked so long but I have not tatted for a few years. I tatted the same booties for Vilate blessing.
We also took a family photo that day. I think I turned out pretty good. We are so excited and very gratefully to have Ellyse a part of our family.

Good job on the booties. They are cute. And Ellyse is so cute.
You guys look amazing! Congrats again ann!!!
that is some seriously beautiful tatting! Can I get a copy of the pattern for booties from you? Our little girly is going to be here before I know it, and I would LOVE to do something like this with my "resting" time on my hands. email is iamalisha@gmail.com...or I'm willing to drive where ever you are to make a copy. Seriously. Please? You did a great job.
You are so talented! Not only do you put to use "use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without" - one of my favorite mantras right now - but you make it pretty too. I'm just so impressed!!
Love & miss your beautiful family!
