Tatted Tree

Here is my new tatting tree.  I will definitely be tatting more white ornaments for next year.  Love my little "hussy doll".

FYI, just wanted to let Jess Foster, Tabatha Burkholder, and Jane Galley know that the PIF packages have been mailed  Thank you for your patience.  Hope you enjoy.

Happy tatting,

Tat Days 2012

Wow! Wow! Wow!
It seemed that that was all I could say for the first day and a half.  It was AMAZING. 
The people, the knowledge floating around in the air, the enthusiasm of everyone, the wonderful display of tatted pieces, the silent auction items, and of course the vending room--I could go on.

You all know this was my first time to attend and I really do feel as though I walked around in awe the entire time.

From the time of my arrival til departure time, the hospitality of everyone was so incredible.  The knowledge seriously floated in the air, whether it was in a class or just visiting in the lobby area, chatting in line or at the table in the dining hall, or just walking through any of the areas.   Gosh, I do not mean to sound like a marketing brochure.  But, AWE was the state that I was in.

Some of the people I got to meet and take classes from:
Jane Eborall!!!! WOW!  I got to meet her in person.
Martha Ess
Nina Libin
Riet
IsDihara (Karen)
Jess Foster
Karey Solomon
Marilee Rockley
Sue Fuller
Randy Houtz
Kaye Judt
Plus so many more that I met.  I am terrible with names...so please do not get your feelings hurt if I do not mention your name.  It was also good to see Georgia, Gwen and others from previous Atlanta Workshops that I attended.

Sorry this is late--Life really does get in the way.

Happy tatting,

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!

I am registered for Palmetto Tat Days.  This will be my first time to attend. 
I can not wait to meet all of you wonderful tatting friends in person that will be there.  Please send me some tips and hints on how to make the most of that weekend.  Do I need to get lots of sleep the week before to "try to build up before sleep deprivation" or "bring lots of energy drinks and bars for stamina"?  Also, will I receive a list of supplies to bring or do I bring most everything in my tatting closet incase I need it?

Gosh, I sound like a newbie nerd.  But, I am just so excited.

Happy tatting,

PIF Giveaway

I participated in the Pay It Forward giveaway on Tudy's Craft Cupboard blog and now it's my turn.


I will make something handmade for each of the first 3 people that signs up for my PIF. Then each of those people will carry on the PIF on their blog and in turn will send something handmade to three people, and so on.
So who would like to receive a lovely handmade gift? And maybe even a little surprise with it. Just leave a comment on this post and make sure you have your email showing on blogger and I'll be in touch soon! Thanks! I will take just the first 3 that leave a comment and are willing to follow up with a PIF when they get the one I send. 
Are there any participants out there?


Happy tatting,

Check out my new shuttle.  It is beautiful!  Chris and Erin do a wonderful job making their shuttles.  Can't wait to try it out with my next project.  It will with one of those new threads. 

Happy tatting,

Scrumptious New Thread

The mail brought me these two beautiful threads from Tatilicious.  First is Fancy Fields and then Rainbow-licious.  Now, the hard part is choosing a pattern to showcase the thread the best.

Unfortunately, I have not been tatting much since Easter.  My new thread is calling me to get started on something creative.

Happy tatting,
