...after the rain



I woke up feelin' refreshed from the rain that fell over night.
The rain washed off that thick yellow pollen down,
 giving all things in nature their fresh color again. 

The scent of my Mother's Day Lilac seemed to have renewed!
The memories that this treasure holds! Ten Years!
I stand and admire the years it represent.

My daughters, both of them, have done this Mom proud.
Each new year I am newly awe'd of the women they have become.

Thank you, God!


*** Luke 1:42
In a loud voice she exclaimed: 
" Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!".

Karrieanne, Thank-you for visiting my blog today. I too love smocking. My only problem is my children have grown too old to appreciate still wearing it. My grandchildren each have a new outfit every season but I never see them in them. I don't know how to make a blog button, so you will just have to come over and visit once and awhile.

How beautiful for you to have lilacs out already. Up here we had snow today. My poor daffodils. I told Dearest that the hens wanted electric blankets tonight. The kids chuckled but he gave me one of those looks! Our lilacs come out around Father's Day.

...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
