Good day!!
As promised this post will be happier. One of the things that is keeping me busy these days are the plans for this years Fringe Tatters 10th anniversary!! It will be September 25th and 26th 2015 in  Cambridge Ontario. We have a great line up of teachers for this very special event!!
Teachers like:      Kaye Judt, Vicki Clarke, Jane Eborall, Judith Connors, Georgia Sietz, Jennifer Williams and more!!!! So make sure to mark your calendars and start saving your pennies and plan to come out to this event.
One of the classes will be Janes scissor pattern. Here is my try at the pattern!!

We will also have some other very special surprises planned!!!

That is all for now.....more to come!!

Tatting..... the best medicine !!!

Hello Everyone
Yes I am still here. Between computer problems and life, I just haven`t blogged much. I am hoping to get back to it. I do have much to share but I won`t do all of it on one post!! Some good things and some sad things too. But lately I have noticed just how much I NEED tatting and the tatting community. On February 11th, while she was on holiday in Florida, my mother in law suddenly passed away. We were able to get her home and say our goodbye late last week. While going through this time my husband and I really didn`t want the tv on or the radio, so I decided to start on Renulck 2015 Spring doily. I didn`t know how much I would be able to do or finish. Below is a picture of the doily.




I have been able to keep up with the posts of instructions to date. I am using Lizbeth size 20 threads. This tatting work has helped me so much. I find I can be there for my family but still have time for myself and this tatted piece. I think when I finish it I will rename it ``Muriel`` and perhaps frame it too. We will see.

I promise my next post will be happier!!

Tatfully Yours
