Hello to one and all

It has been a very busy time around the Dunn household!!! With parties, graduations and bbq's, it's been hard to get some tatting done!! But I have.

 Here are some of the pieces I have done! The Fringe tatting group are putting together a wall hanging with the four seasons..... seeing that this years theme is "A Season for Tatting"! The trees are from the book DMC Tatting for Today (that is if today is 1980!!) Both the mermaid and rainbow are patterns from Martha Ess. The clover and leaves are just from me playing around!!! All were made with Lizbeth threads in size 20 but the mermaid in using Altin Basak threads. In August we will be meeting and getting the wall hangings panels set up and I will be sure to share some pictures with you!!!

 

And of course this is my baby!!!! Its just seems like yesterday I was walking him to the bus to start school and here we are at the end of grade 12!!!! Thomas was on the honor role again this year and also achieved Specialist High Skills Major in Arts and Culture. We could not be more proud of him!!!

Thomas will be off to Durham College this September to study Graphic Design!!

Also a little bit of really good news to share with you......my hubby just got a job!!!!!

I won't have to sell all my threads after all!!! (just kidding)

Well it is time for a cup of tea and get some tatting done!

Hope you all are having a great day.

 Good Evening everyone!!!

A little while ago I was asking if anyone had a pattern for a smiley face earring.

Thanks for everyone who replied.

This is what I came up!!

 I did the pair for a girl from work in a brighter yellow thread. And of course I didn't take a picture of them before I gave them to her!!

 She was very happy with them and before I knew it she asked if she could ordered a pair for her mother........in pink!!!

I hope her mother likes them!!!

More later!!! Tatfully Yours,

Kelly

Busy last weekend.....

Hello to all

I have been doing some tatting and will share that with you in a couple of days. But what I would like to share are some pictures of our busy time last weekend.

In our little town they make a big deal about prom. The kids who decide to go dress up, there is a parade through town right up to the school with a red carpet and a fancy dinner before the dance.

Of course my son and his girlfriend attended!!!

And he needed some help from mom!!

 My father was very proud to have been asked to drive the couple in his convertible in the parade!!!

 

 

There is always a big turn out at this event!!! Thank goodness it was a sunny evening!!

 

 

 They even have the town cryer come out and announce the couples arrival to the prom!!! 

They didn't do this type of thing when I went to this school. Of course that was a looooooooong time ago!!

Hope you are having a great day and get to do some tatting too!!

What I have been up to....

Hello All

I have been busy getting the gardens ready,  picking up extra shifts at work when I can....and I have been able to get some tatting done too!!

I made this beautiful snowflake motif with ``Cranberry Bush`` #181 in size 20 Lizbeth thread. It is  from one of my new book ``Elegant Tatting Gems`` by Jon Yusoff. Ever since I returned from Lodi (were I picked them up) I couldn`t wait to get working on one of the lovely patterns in this book!!

Hope you are having a great tatting day!!
