This is an angel that I made this morning.  I woke up at 5:30 am.     So I revised my e-mails and Donata had send me the pattern for this angel to tat-proof. 

It's a really cute pattern.  Made with shuttle and ball in one pass and in and hour or so.  I used a rayon thread I bought from Gale Marshall.  The thread is like a #50.  Tat's divine!  (pun intended  )

When Donata post it online I'll have a link to this pattern.
