TIAS 2013 completed, and some random tats

Here's my (almost) completed TIAS 2013. Just need to sew in the ends.  I thought it was a pram back on day 6, then I thought it wasn't, then a couple of days later it turned back into a pram only facing the other way!  What I thought was the handle on day 6 turned into the back of the hood.
For this TIAS I've learned Catherine Wheel Joins, Split Rings and Split Chains.

I'm a whole week late posting this - I sent it to Jane Eborall back on the 10th and managed to be tatter number 11 to send in a completed (as in fully tatted) pram!  It's lucky that Jane isn't requiring the ends to be sewn in before counting them as completed!

Since then I've just done some little bits.  These are all Puppets Eldorado size 16 except for the purple circular one which is Lizbeth size 20
Inspired by the wheels of the pram I did the circular piece. Not sure what I'm going to do with it but I quite like it.
Then I saw onion rings on someones blog so I had a go at them using the thread left on my shuttles at the end of the TIAS.
Then I had a play with a simple design with and without picots - again using left-over thread which is why I ran out on the picot-less version. I'm quite pleased that the center ring is much more circular than my previous attempts.

Finally at the top is the start of a piece of Curds and Whey trimming from Mary Konior's Tatting with Visual Patterns.  It's intended to be trimming for a mob cap - hopefully it won't be too wide. The fabric for the cap should turn up this week so that I can sew it up and check that this size trim is going to look ok on it.
