Happy International Tatting Day!

Tatting class at Tatting Corner November 2014

 The traditional activities of International Tatting Day, established some years ago by a gathering of tatters, are to eat chocolate and tat. Unfortunately this holiday has fallen on a very busy day for me, so no time for either - yet!

I did edit some new original patterns which I can't show yet...spoilers :) But, that's not really tatting, that's editing - typing in directions, re-sizing photos, checking abbreviations, etc. So much more work than actual tatting...whew!

Earlier this week I did finish a colorful pair of earrings and matching bracelet. Both patterns are in my book, Marilee's Beaded Tatting Finery. I got the purple wire that I had ordered, so I made a purple clasp for the bracelet.

Hand dyed a batch of "Gold Dust" thread yesterday (I tweaked the old recipe a bit) so will rinse that out today. I should have it listed in my Etsy shop within a few days.
