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!!

What do you think??

Hello Everyone in Tat-Land

I would like to know what you think of this tatted pendent piece?

I am thinking of teaching it at the Fringes Tatting weekend this September.

It only took me about 25 minutes to do but if I also teach them my way of stiffening it.....it might take up the 2 hour class time!

Let me know!!! Hope you are all having a great tatting weekend!!!

As promised......

Hello one and all!!!

As promised here are some pictures of the test tatting I have been for a well known designer!!

With her permission I can show you some of the work.

First here is a piece done with pearl tatting and many beads. It did give me a challenge as I am not use to left and right handed tatting. But I really enjoyed doing this little test!!

Next we have a Flower Pin. Again many, many beads!!! 

Can you guess who I have been tatting for?

That`s right Nina Libin!! 

Her new book will be available the beginning of April. I will let you all know when it is available!!!

Hope you all had a great weekend!!
