Latest Jewelry Set Completed

Uncategorized

I have been having soooo much fund with basic tatting of my jewelry pieces.  It’s part of my drive to ‘WEAR MORE TATTING IN PUBLIC’.

The design is very simple, thus the main star of these pieces is the thread:  Karey Solomon’s hand-painted thread.  She named this one ‘Rose Colored Glasses’.

I have a pink t-shirt that this jewelry pairs with.

My tatting class at the 2025 IOLI Convention

Uncategorized

This is the morning class that I took at
the IOLI Convention.
Tatted ornaments with Patti Duff.
I didn’t get very far with the tatting of these ornaments
because I was the ‘official photographer’ of the
Convention which meant that I spent most of my class
time running between all the classrooms (17) taking
photos.
The good thing is that I still have this tatting to do!
I learned to tat on Monday,  
My stitches were very fine.
I forgot to thaw out dinner, 
So we went out to dine.
I tatted snowflakes Tuesday,
They really were a must.
The symmetry was quite lovely,
But I forgot to dust.
On Wednesday I tatted crosses,
I so enjoyed the fun.
I learned to pray while tatting,
But the laundry didn’t get done.
I learned to tat split Rings on Thursday,
It’s fun to use two threads.  
I guess I really was engrossed,  
I never made the bed.
I started a doily on Friday, 
Oh how the colors I adore. 
But somehow in the enjoyment, 
I didn’t notice the dirty floor.
I added beads to my tatting on Saturday, 
They really enhance my double stitches. 
I was so engaged with those shiny things, 
That I ignored the dirty dishes
I found a maid on Sunday,  
My week is now complete.  
Now I can tat the hours away,  
And my house will still be neat.
