Post #1000!

I can barely believe it. I began this blog on April 19th, 2009 as a brand new tatter. Today is my thousandth post and in celebration, fortune has granted me two Etsy pattern sales.

Happy me!

Took a break from the doily that needed major surgery and followed Miranda’s excellent advice -  (see comment on last post...) - well prodding really, as I already knew what I had to do. Procrastination prevented any activity till I got that comment.  Thanks Miranda!

  1. That bookmark is gorgeous! I'll have to see if I can get hold of the pattern.

    I'm so glad you're persevering on the doily. Of course, I knew you would, really. I hope you'll continue with the color selections you used. The way you would repeat a color every couple of rounds kept it from being chaotic, and all the colors worked so well together.

    Congratulations on your 1000th post!

  7. Not only is this your 1, 000th post in only four years on your highly informative and entertaining blog, but you must have tatted at least 1, 000 tatted items, some of which are HUGE doilies! Your tatting speed just amazes me. Not to mention your ability to post almost daily, usually with a touch of humor! Your blogging and photography skills amaze me, too! (I still find posting to be difficult.) You have shown us how effective and dazzling color can be, plus the attractive addition of beads, plus you've introduced us to many patterns we might not have seen or noticed. If course there are your own patterns, too! And you help us learn patience as you bravely show and share your mistakes, then usually retat them. Your adventures with different threads give us insight into the different brands and sizes! Then there's Gian,
    who always brightens our day! We very much enjoy visiting with you and getting to know you! Congratulations!

      I found the pattern by chance and did not think it would tat up as beautifully as it did. It is a winner. : ))

  20. Congratulations! 1000 posts just goes to show your ability to keep on going, even when you have pieces you want to chuck into the trash. Thanks for sharing your sense of humor, and for your willingness to show us that mistakes are all part of the process. I sure wish you could meet that stranger who gave you a shuttle again. Wouldn't she be amazed at all you've learned?
