...Sunshine Can Travel!


Yesterday my mailbox looked very bright after the mailman delivered some mail 
and a package from Cottonelle.

 I got one of those cover for the "nekkid" toilet paper roll for free.
 I was going to post the site for  y'all to try get your own
but I saw that they ran out of that promotion. 


I got the one in the middle


But that was not the brightest thing from my mailbox.
This was! (below)


Isn't that the most wonderful Sunshine that you have ever seen... lately?
This was a surprise for me and I am truly blessed by this beautiful tatted cross!

Another sweet Tatter on this Earth!
If you know a gal named Lily
and has a blog called The Eye Candy for Crafters.
She is the one!!!! What a sweet surprise with a lovely sweet note!

Lily, Thank you! 
You have no idea that my world is upside and this lovely gift
is perfect timing with a reminder that all will BE okay!
(Because HE is in complete control)

I'm so glad it finally arrived!! I kept checking every couple days (lol, even hours)!

That pattern came from a 1950-something Workbasket and I just now noticed that the very center reminds me of the Chinese coin pattern by Jon Yusoff (hmmm, interesting how everything intertwines)

Anyway, I realize it is not as bright as the real Sun, but it is the brightest yellow I have :-D *Though I have a feeling that the happiness this brought you far surpasses the cheery color of your tatted treasure* {big toothy grin}

Have a great time at Tat Days!!!

...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
