Abigail's Adventure at The Toccoa Falls

~ A long time has spanned since March. I went on a long trip to see my daughters. My oldest has blessed me with a beautiful granddaughter (which has made me the proudest "Nana") and my youngest was married. A month full of adventures! I was away from Abigail and my husband for a month. They fared well, but were happy to have me back. Many things have happened since my return and I was either too lazy to update this blogg or too busy catching up on things. I was unloading my digital camera and had forgotten about some pictures of Abigail's discovery... a turtle! I will load those on this blogg in few days.





The Toccoa Falls


~ Today, Abigail had her first adventure to the lovely Toccoa Falls! My husband and I are celebrating our sixth wedding anniversary and decided to see the falls again. It is always lovely to see. This was a new world of exploring for the adventurious beagle of ours! Abigail was a bit skiddish with exploring out. She would keep her body far back as possible and lean her nose out as far as she could reach with sniffing. She was unsure of climbing onto large boulders and rocks, but once I did those things, she followed. We had a lovely time at the Falls. Enjoy the pictures!

"Hm? Is there something lurking in here?"
"What is over here?"
"Maybe there are some bugs here?"
"It is a good thing that the water is down over there!"

"Why Mom insist on putting me on this bench for my picture when I rather go over there?"


...a pretty scene down from the falls.
"Boy! There are lots of water around here!"
~ After Abigail's adventure, we all went to get some ice cream desserts!
Abigail enjoyed them too!

...A New Book That Surged My Tatting Fingers On!

Image
 I have few books for tatting instructions ...how to Celtic, how to needle, how to shuttle and numerous pages of patterns for tatting from online, doily this, edging that, motif those. I wanted something more or different to do. After Christmas I batted my puppy dog eyes (hubby says they are) at Hubby for a book that I wanted for Christmas but did not get. He faltered (I am so bad, I knew he would) and said for me to order it. I ordered it and it arrived sometime last week. I have been tatting my fingers off with glee! After all, this girl here received lots of threads and shuttles for Christmas... from that sweet Hubby! The book that I had to have was,    A TATTER'S WORKBOOK, edited by J&K. Kliot Approximately 172 patterns, 112 pages. Includes corner and straight edgings, medallions, round doily borders,collar border. This is a most unusual and fascinating collection of tatting patterns as recorded in a New England notebook by an anonymous tatter in the 1920's. The pa

...To Chain or Not To Chain!

I have been tatting my heart out since the Palmetto Tatting Guild's Tat Days this past year. I have come a long ways since. I have researched on tattings and tried many patterns... I still am, to improve my abilities and develop "my style". My daughter has become an amazing tatter in jewelry with updated modern twist. She just amazes me to no end. As my confidence grew, my style is also growing. Maybe I should say preferences instead of style. I have learned that I do not "like" to create things without patterns. I am not "into" making things other than doilies and edgings but if needed to will do the other things. I also am not at all keen on tatting with the ball of thread, multiple shuttles, ends and sewing in ends... I like doing one shuttle, less stuff to fuss with.  Now with that said.. I prefer rings and chains. So I had to make a compromise with myself and use the ball or use the second shuttle as the ball. Then again, I am falling in love wi
