...A Mailing Box Turned into a Treasure!

From time to time I would receive samples in the mail. In this case, it came from Kashi and I tried their snack bar.







I am always intrigued with unusual shapes of packaging and always keep them, in hope of doing something different with them for later use!

With some decoupage and fabrics.... and a bit of imagination...







TA DAAAAAAA... a pretty treasure for holding things in.... like my tatting kit!

 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.

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.
