One small ornament during busy days

I have been on an extremely busy schedule lately and it's about to get totally worse for the next 2 weeks.  Amid all the things I have had to do I have really tried to get tatting in.  And this was inspired by the one snowflake that I don't have the link to from the blizzard of snowflakes I did.  This is 4 of those snowflakes(one on top and three around the sides) tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Blue Ice.
 Doesn't it look awesome with my snowflake garland??  :)
Here is where you can find the pattern for the snowflake that I used to cover this ornament.  :)

Snowflake blizzard!!!

Working hard to get my request for 13 snowflakes done!!!  Here are the ones I believe she will like the most!!  :)
In this top picture are (top left) 
Minta Pattern from:
tatted in Lizbeth size 10 Snow White.
(top right) Cloverleaf Snowflake from the book 
Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman tatted in size 3 white with glitter.
(middle left) Flower Snowflake from the same book as above.  Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Angel's Love.
Tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Angel's Love.
(bottom) is Layered Tatted Snowflake from: 
Tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice.
 In this middle picture are 8 Lavender & Lace inspired # 3 snowflakes of mine.  
They are tatted in Lizbeth size 20 Christmas Delight, and Blue Ice.   
In this last picture are many snowflakes that either were too small for the request, or they had mistakes in them.  The top 2 are Lavender & Lace inspired #3 snowflakes.
Second row is:
tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice, and
Minta Pattern(same as in top picture) tatted in size 20 Christmas Delight.
Third row is:
Minaret Snowflake from the book Tatted Snowflakes by Vida Sunderman  
tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice, and
tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice.
Fouth row is:
Snowflake # 2 without the doodad from:
tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Christmas Delight, and
Merry Christmas Snowflake from:
tatted in size 40 Lizbeth Angel's Love.
And on the bottom is one that I found on the internet somewhere and printed it.  It's not even a full pattern because there is a ring in the center which the pattern doesn't tell about, but I thought after tatting the outer edge(which the pattern does tell about) that it might fit on one of my "doodads" and it did perfectly.  Most interesting part is that it actually mimics the snowflake in the center perfectly!!!  It's tatted in size 20 Lizbeth Blue Ice.  :)
**Sorry the pictures aren't really great and you can't see the color well at all.**
