Ta-Da ...Tallies!

Another day, another attempt at Clunies. I may be a lot of things, but one thing is for certain; I am persistent and very STUBBORN! I will not rest till this Cluny thing is DONE!!!! How does Elisadusud do it? Her tallies continue to inspire me.
Have a look - her patterns are wonderful, too.

Have a great weekend, everyone. It is FINALLY warmer - for today, anyway, here in Toronto, but, where is Summer???

Tatting Images in Nature

TattingChic
gave me the idea to post this shot which reminds me of what I finished just last night - after LYING and saying I would have no new pictures of new tattting for a while!

SURPRISE!

It's a bit of a stretch, but the petals of the flower remind me of the little tallies - which still are sooo far from where they should be! I am SLOWLY getting the feel of this piece and of tatting Cluny leaves. I can tat it more quickly, but the skill of it is eluding me, big time!

WHINGE intr.v. Chiefly British. , whinged , whinging , whinges . To complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.

Whine, whinge - it's all the same thing. And that is what I do - especially about my tatting and in particular, these days, about T.A.T.. Actually, I am enjoying the T.A.T. course immensely, but one might not know that if you took my words literally! DON'T! It is a lot of fun and I am learning so much about tatting. I DARE you guys to take it on!


The upside is that I have not a lot to post about tatting and have taken more photographs as a break. A camera has been my constant companion, since my dad put a Brownie camera in my seven year old hands - a million years ago. He taught me on his twin lens Rollei and I figured the dark room stuff out on my own, years later.

If I am not tatting, I am shooting. 'fox shots' - my flickr site went dead when I discovered tatting nine months ago - or is it now ten whole months?! But the good news is that I have resurrected it and may have to subject you to tatting lookalikes via the Canon, instead of tatting for the time being, as I plow throught T.A.T.!

Tough Tatting

.... and I cannot tell you anything about it, as all my problems stem from T.A.T.# 2. Anybody out there in Tat-land doing the Artisan course? I'd love to talk to anyone who is also involved in this rather overwhelming adventure. I am under a blanket of secrecy, and cannot divulge one thing about it! Ah well, I'll just suffer in silence! ( NOT one of my attributes at all!)



Because of the lack of time, I am running out of glorious. intriguing, and entertaining photos to post here, and all I could grab, in desperation, is a measly little shot of what I have been doing in my tat time for me - little doodles (so NOT me) to paste on notepaper ( I hardly ever send anyone notes!)

The word of the day seems to be NOT , which I see might be travelling incognito as KNOT. Synchronicity at work. I AM NOT going mad......
