  1. She's got quite a head of hair! The socks are tattingly sweet too.

    You commented on the JK's in my post today. I'm not nearly as fond of them as an embellishment but I do love the little blocks of block tatting! It might just be that I don't like the way JK's are used most of the time. They are very nice...but I haven't seen an application of them that I loved. Oh...I wonder...a picot before and after in green might make it look like a flower! You try it! LOL!

  2. Block tatting, that will be next in the list for me to try. Did it only once before but need to do a few times more before I can feel confident about it.

    You must be very proud of the mini-boss and The Boss and all the grands.

  5. Well, now I am going to have to pull out Kaye`s book and give somethings a try! But must finish edging first. I am not good at working on more than one project at one time!! The Boss rocks in her very special socks!!

  6. Block tatting and beads! You're a wonder! I can't believe Mini-Boss is a year old already. Where does the time go? By the way, where did the cute socks come from? ; )

  8. Did you get a surprise when you saw the photo? - or was it one you took yourself? This is affirmation for you that not everything you tat is unappreciated!
    I had a similar glowing moment during the week when my 7-yr old grandson came downstairs one night while I was looking after the kids, to show me the tatted snake bookmark I had given him at least 2 years ago - he was so excited, it had fallen down behind a small cupboard and he had just unearthed it. When I was there again two nights ago, I noticed it carefully smoothed out, a bit grubby, and on display amongst all his sporting trophies.
    So now of course, I must make something else for him promptly.
    All very gratifying and I share your joy.

  9. Hi there, Maureen,

    Oh, how perfectly lovely! I seem to recall something about a snake bookmark a few years ago... Am I making that up or did you talk about it somewhere - maybe InTatters? Or here? Sounded familiar.

    I wonder what you shall create this time for Master Seven-Years-Old!

    The socks were a complete surprise. This photo was taken last week and I have not seen Mini-Boss since Christmas, when the kids from New York were here. She was so much smaller then - not even crawling!

    Like you, I am so delighted that I am off to the shops tomorrow to purchase another pair of socks. I shall take them with me to tat in New York, when I visit Mini-Boss and family in ten days time!
