FINISHED!!!

I just mailed in my packet to T.A.T.! I can hardly believe that I completed it! Now I will wring my hands in anticipation of "the final word" on how I fared. Already I am wondering what bedevilment lies in wait in the 3rd and final course.......

Stop it, Fox. I can now really enjoy some tatting for the fun of it! Pick whatever I want from the plethora of books and patterns I have collected over the past ten months! It has been almost one year since I found myself with a shuttle in my hand. WOW, did this year ever fly by!

Oh yes, I almost forgot to report... to reward myself for the Herculean efforts of the past six weeks, (Mom and T.A.T. )I have treated myself to Yarnplayer's fabulous new "Garden Afternoon." The colours are absolutely sensational.

I also received this in the mail right after I returned from the Post Office..... Great timing! (I 'd forgotten I had ordered it...) How lucky am I... : )



So, I started this little cluny piece from Rebecca Jones's 'Complete Book of Tatting'. The yarn that sparkles is from Bev, who traded some thread for shuttles a while back - Thanks Bev!! This one is very pretty!



What fun!

Even in the Rearview.....

It is everywhere.... little tatted bits...... tiny bits of threads, little picots.........variegated and plain.....teeny beads.......

I was used to these cast-offs, and even have accepted my new eccentricity with a certain amount of equanimity, and then I noticed THIS!

This is pasted on the stem of the rear view mirror in my car! I am so used to seeing it there that I do not notice it; then today, I was adjusting the mirror, looked up and saw it. The Remnant. I had pasted it up there months ago

I remember finding this motif in my purse while I was getting my keys and I didn't know whether to throw it away or keep it in the box that I have for discards. I left it in the car and glued it up the next time I used the car.

This all seems so peculiar and fairly shrieks weird, old lady (which I AM!) . Ah well. could be worse; I could be out of thread.....

More Time to Tat....

The 'mimi' is finished and delivered...

CARD THAT ACCOMPANIED A PRESENT TO A FRIEND

This is the only kind of small stuff I have been doing, other than practicing the clunies, as I head into the last stretch of the Artisan section of TAT.

A lot of work - but so enjoyable. I hope to be finished by the end of the month, and then I want have some fun with all the things I want to try. There is so much out there to do! And I want to tat it all! : ))
