Having fun with embroidering again... Tea Towels!

I am a member on MaryJanesFarm's Connection. I have signed up to do a tea towel swap. I have enjoyed it so much that I have kept on doing more and more embroidering on the tea towels. Finally, I made one just for me. It seems that when I make things, I'd forget to do it for me too. Well, not this time! I made the lilac one for me. The lilacs hold many memories from my youth. At my Grandma's and my childhood home with my Mom and now my own!

This one I made specially JUST for me!



"It's Spring... Do you know where your bloomers are?"
and
"In the Spring, at the end of the day, You should smell like dirt."
were made for the two Farmgirls in the swap!

I had fun!

* Proverbs 10:4
   ~ Lazy hands make a man poor,
     but diligent hands bring wealth.

...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
