TIAS Completed

I had finished the TIAS on schedule, but was having camera issues. So here he is, mistake and all--but I love him anyway. Thank you Jane for another exciting TIAS.

I hope all are doing well out in blog land. Spring Break is next week for me, so my plan is to tat, knit, and sew.

Crazy Mom Tats 100th post Giveaway!

I love that name.
Check out Crazy Mom Tats website and register for her 100th post giveaway. Cool blog. Lovely tatted edging in the her headline.

TIAS Day 1

Here is day 1 of the 2010 TIAS. I am using Lizbeth thread color March Breeze. My camera does not show the colors well. This is so much fun.

Happy New Year

In looking back over the past 12 months, it's been a good year. I did not get to tat as much as I would have liked or do other hobbies that I had intended to do. I didn't lose the weight I wanted to or post to my blog as often as I wanted. That's okay! It's a New Year and a new opportunity to do those things.

I am thankful for my family and my friends (both online and offline). I wish each of you a blessed New Year. May you have good health and happiness.

Merry Christmas to all

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I pray that you have a safe and wonderful holiday season. As you enjoy the festivities of the holiday, please remember Christ's birth is the Reason for the Season.

Trinka Angel Challenge

The Guild that I am a member of issued a challenge to decorate the skirt of Terry McGuffin's Trinka angel. Check out the results.

Top row left by Sherron Mosley--added a beaded snowflake. Center by Mary Ann Pugh--added a letter "L" for Love, Live, and Laughter. Right by Adair Baker--added a snowflake charm. Bottom row left by me--I added a nativity adapted from Becky Dempsey's "Nativity". Center two by Sharon Thomas--added battenburg lace to both. Right by Elizabeth Birmingham--added a blue bird with a branch.

We all enjoyed the project and look forward to doing another project in the new year.

Heart Bookmark

Here is Julie Patterson's heart bookmark made in HDT by Lady Shuttlemaker. The color is Sunset. My camera does not show the colors well--it really is pretty. The colors are actually darker than reflected in the picture.
