...following my heart, dreams and Jesus

Are you ready yet? My heart is! Mentally, I think I am ready.  Physically? Well...no I am not ready! Palmetto Tatters Guild will be making a milestone in the year 2012!  They... we will be celebrating our tenth ...yep, TENTH, annual Tat Days! I am already making plans for that Tat Days! My mind is spinning with ideas and plans! I love meeting all the other tatters. I love learning more with tatting. I love the location, not because it is in "MY" town But because it is beautiful there. I sat at the dining tables mostly That were located beside the picture windows. The view is breath taking.

Friday, September 23, 6:00 to 6:30pm (EST) Guinness Book of World Records and Facebook One exciting thing we hope to achieve this year at Tat Days is to get in the Guinness Book of World Records! Yes! Friday afternoon, between 6 and 6:30 (EST), we will all be tatting the same pattern at the same time-making snowflakes. We will be using our  Tat Off! Pattern . When searching the Guinness Records, we found 0 entries for tatting. We will be the first! And the world will know tatting is NOT a lost art! (Note: In the end, it will be up to the Guinness folks to accept our numbers. We have done the paperwork and have a local person to certify. We will see.)

I have been having so much fun lately with dressing up the poor nekkid tatting shuttles! (For the story about "ONS", the once nekkid shuttles click  here  ) I dressed up so many of them... 17 of them in fact! I try real hard to do my part in this world, dressing up the nekkids! They are fashionable in many colors! Some even make a statement! Some even go wild! (this one below has been sold) Some like to be subtle!  ...sold Some are fruity! And these are just few of the examples of the latest fashion in the world of  "ONS"! All of these and other ONS can be found at my  Etsy Shop! I have also been busy with tatting! I been tatting up butterflies and they are taking over! But a gal gotta pay up her dues! My dues for the tatting guild that I belong to! The Palmetto Tatters Guild use these "dues" for sharing with the public at the South Carolina State Fair while they demonstrate tatting. I am so excited that PTG's tat days are comi...
