love the quilted ornaments, and those tated ones are beautiful.

more tales of woe...I can't tat. the only thing left on my list of things to do is to learn how to tat. no one here to teach me, no classes, oh sooo sad!!!!!

another tales of woe, and this is "woe". dr. gave us this ugly medicine to give our cat, the great princess on high, miss ZOEY. well of course, she's the only cat in history that hates this med, so the doc told us to put it on her paw,
ohhhh BIG mistake. picture this... had Christmas fab on kitchen table ready to start cutting, gave the princess her daily dose on her paw. You would of thought I cut her finger off. First the howl, then the worst of the worst. (close your eyes if you're squeamish) she swung the paw like a wrecking ball, that brownish jelly went flying all over the kitchen, dining area, all over my handmade curtains and lastly, all over my Christmas fabric that I was about to cut!!!. getting the goo off was a mess, I ruined the curtains and we don't even want to discuss my Christmas fabric. it's terrible, a distaster, and everyone should feel really bad for me and send those ornaments to me right away to make me feel better.

All of the ornaments are so pretty. The tatting is beautiful. Many years ago my mom was talking about how few people tat anymore. I didn't even know what it was. I later found a little book about how to tat.(long gone now) I didn't do it long due to my little son at the time. lol... He is 40 today. Anyway, I was able to tat a little piece, and it took me time, but I was so proud of that little piece. That is also long gone. I would love to learn that again to make a pretty piece. My precious mother in law before she went to heaven said to keep up on the sewing, crochet, etc. because not many people did anymore. I know with quilting a quite a few of us do, but in the scope if electronics these days, probably not like many years ago. I am just passing through, but had to gab a bit. lol.....

those blls take a lot of patience to make, as doe the tatting. both are lovely, and welcome in my house.

I think I have an old BHG book of needlecrafts that has tatting instruction in it. I just found it so hard to do those tiny little knots or whatever they are. It is beautiful, but takes a lot of patience. I will never know how my mother did it, because she sure was lacking in patience, especially when it came to teaching me to knit or tat.
