ITD - nuntium duocentesimum quinquagesimum

In honor of International Tatting Day, Twin Cities Tatters got together for a bonus meeting- yay!  We had brand new tatters and others who are "more experienced" and someone who knits and weaves the most beautiful things.  And thanks to Marlene, we even had chocolate!

Cindy put together this picture for us so if you see it on her blog, know that I'm the copycat!

We had a lot of fun, somehow those two hours go by so quickly.  It's such a treat to get together with others who love the same thing.
Here's another pin I've made.  Somehow I'm not sure of it-why?  I don't know.  Something just isn't quite there for me.

This one was actually the first one.  

I don't know, should I keep going with them? Do you have suggestions for improvements?

My elder daughter has sold her first piece on Etsy!  She is over the moon.  I won't mention any names for fear of invasion of privacy but you wouldn't be surprised by this generous tatter's heart.  Anyway, each night she reports to me the number of views so if you have nothing else to do, would you go click on her shop? (This is a gorgeous piece that has non-functioning scissors in it.) Thank you!

Starlight and integrity-nuntium duocentesimum nonum

I got another round done and as I finished it up, my younger daughter looks over and says, "I don't really like those colors together".  Well, she said it more nicely than that but that's the gist.

Hmmpf.


The integrity talk went pretty well, I said it was my friend's story but was going to tell it from my point of view.  They clapped when I got done.  Haha.

Today after school, the tatters got together for ITD.  We had Thin Mints and tatted up a storm.  It was so exciting to have this kids joining in on their first ITD.
