Well, it’s been awhile again since I last posted. It’s not that I don’t have anything to post about, I just haven’t sat down to do it. ‘Sigh’ I was recently asked to demonstrate tatting for two groups, one at our local senior center and also for a crochet and knitting group in a nearby ..read more

At this time of the year, it seems to me that the holidays are coming very fast. It doesn’t help that stores don’t seem to know what holiday it is. You can find Halloween, Thanksgiving (if you’re lucky), and Christmas goods at the same time in any given store right now. As a crafter, that’s ..read more

It’s weeks later than what I had promised it would be, but the pattern for Luther’s Rose is done! I’m sharing today, before I’ve test-tatted it, because Reformation Day is celebrated this coming Sunday. I don’t believe it is a hard pattern to tat, so you may have time to do it before this Sunday ..read more

My husband is an enabler. During the auction at Tat Days he would buy me anything I showed an interest in if I let him. I pretty much have to put a leaseh on him to stop him. This year I looked over the auction items before it started and told him what I would ..read more

I’ve done it again, haven’t I? It’s been several weeks since I last posted. It’s not that I don’t have things to post about, it’s just getting time and pictures to do it. I’ll start with the Luther’s Rose pattern I promised. Do you know how much harder it is to diagram and write out ..read more

I didn’t plan on it being a last-minute anything, but I just didn’t get on it fast enough – again. I had the ideas and I still didn’t get to it in time. But I did get it done on time. Once a month, other than a couple of months in the summer, there is ..read more

In October of 2017 I shared my version of Martin Luther’s Rose. Martin Luther designed the seal on or about 1530 to represent his theology. It is commonly used to represent the Lutheran church. I was on a short timeline when I made this. I speak about my motivation in my post “Luther’s Rose” from ..read more

My husband, Jack, is back in the work shop. He’s back to making more beautiful shuttles. Jack found a cow horn in the garage that belonged to his dad. How long his dad had it or where he got it is unknown, but it’s been in our garage for awhile now. About a month ago ..read more

It’s always so fun to go to tatting gatherings, to see old friends, make new friends, and share experiences and stories with other tatters. And then it’s over, and everyone returns home. When I get home it’s going through the many pictures I take, weeding out the bad ones (is that the floor?), trying to ..read more

We made it back from Tat Days 2024! Yes, several weeks ago. It’s amazing how busy I was even after we got back. And how lazy I got about posting! Tat Days was fun this year, as always. I taught classes on the cruise this last fall, but this is my first time at Tat ..read more
