To celebrate International Tatting Day, Beth (Left) & I (right) and Grace–the 3 Tatting Amigas of Grand Junction–met at a local coffee shop to ‘Tat in Public’.

Unfortunately, Grace was only there for a short period of time for her ‘coffee break’ & I forgot to get a photo of her.

I received this trinket box, decorated with a tatting motif at the 2005 IOLI Convention in Denver, CO. It was a table favor given out at the end-of-convention banquet. When visiting Heidi Nakayama in her home in CA recently, I saw that she had one.

Trying to catch up with my website

It’s been so easy to put up my content onto FB & IG that I have realized that I have completely ignored my website. Since I consider this website as part of my ‘legacy’, I am going to be putting up ‘stuff’ randomly here. I’ve been having a lot of fun creating memes of tatting and so you’ll see quite a few in the near future.

Throwback Tuesday

Anyone know where these joining crochet hooks on a finger ring came from?

These two are different sizes.
I’m starting to use/appreciate this approach to using/having a crochet hook more easily.
The only problem with the 2 I have is that the crochet hook is not small enough for my recent tatting tasks.
