Happy 2nd Anniversary and Veteran's Day!

On this day, we celebrated Happy Veteran's Day and
Happy 2nd Anniversary for being a family with Abigail!

We began the tradition of going to a park with a picnic basket, seeing Abigail would enjoy a day of outting and we enjoy it with her! This year we went to Henderson Falls Park located in Toccoa Georgia.

My Dad and I on a bridge over tha water.



My Dad and I going through a covered bridge
over the water. Mommy is behind us!



This was here in the woods.. kinda looks like dog house, but we dunno. I was checking it out.

..just checking to see any of the messages were for me!
I got play in the playground. The sand felt
different but nice.


Here I am with my Dad!




Now, I'm with Mommy!





This was a staircase that went way down to
floor of the waterfall.

Mommy and I went down it. I didn't really like these stairs
but I was very brave to go back up without any help!





Here I am, with Dad again. There's the waterfall!
A better shot of the waterfall!
I am ready for the picnic!
I said I am ready for the picnic!

The lentil bean salad that Mommy made was delicious!
Mommy's Pumpkin pie disappeared! Yum!


Hey! It's not empty yet... why are you putting
it away?

Some exploring after the picnic! Nature smells, the perfume to a beagley nose!




... more sniffin'!


Keepin' an eye everything! So much to see!


The perfect day for me! ..with my family!
What more could I ask for? How about ...
....more food!!!!

...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

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
