Finally Beagles get their due!

Now my concern is that many will view this dog as cute and adorable and will want one for their own. Don't get me wrong, I know they're cute and adorable but they are way more than that. If you seriously want to own a beagle, please educate yourself about the breed , Beagles. Abigail is my second Beagle and love the breed. The beagles are high energy dogs, and need constant guidance. There are many books out in the public to learn about this special breed or any other breeds for that matter. While considering od getting a beagle, please consider adopting on from many many "Beagle" rescue organzations. They are many beagles and other pure breds who already need a home. I have never regretted in adopting my beagles. I am doing my part one beagle at a time. I adopted our beagle named Quiggly from Seattle Beagle Rescue. Quiggly has gone onto Beagle Heaven. We got Abigail from Alcovy Pet Rescue. Both beagles are special in their own right!
All I ask is that, if you are thinking about getting a beagle, please consider the above and be honest... can you devote constant guidance and care to this dog, or any other kinds?

Here is a wonderful link to help you with somethings to consider about beagles.

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

 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
