Fun and Games

A few blogs have already shown some great pictures of Tat Days especially the wonderful goodies that were given out or purchased.  But here are a couple of photos showing some of the fun and games that we had.

Thank you to all the  Palmetto Tatters for all their hard work in making the event such a success and so fun. It was great to see y'all.

    Have you seen the video of the tatting contest? It's available on the Palmetto wevsite! I was able to see the live Ustream, which I thought was amazing technology, even though it was a bit choppy! I saw you in the audience, while Jane was front and center! It made me feel as if I were there in person, and I appreciated the effort that went into making the communication!

    Glad you made it back home safe and sound!

    Wow, you said, "Y'all." You have come under the spell of the South!

    Thanks for posting these great photos. I don't have anything like them, and wish I did.

    Will you be posting more? (pretty please, if you can?)

    Sally, I always have trouble blogging from Tat Days too...usually my photos won't upload. At least you got photos to cooperate!

    It was such a treat to have you and Jane at Tat Days. Truly a highlight of my Tat Days 2012!

    Safe travels back to the UK and my fingers are crossed that you will be able to come back next year (or the year after).

Which One?

As I said in my last post I had another idea for a design and this one is very seasonal, and yes as Jane McLellan said there is a huge gap between the original idea and the final product, but I don't find that gap fun at all!  I have worked on this particular idea all week between preparing for Holy Week and children's activities, and also having a massive Spring clean in certain areas of the house.  I even spent hours removing wood dust off the freezer washing machine and surrounding areas in the garage, when 'Im in the garage was out, you have no idea what mess he makes in there to produce shuttles! So the result is these two button eggs, well I hope you recognise them as such!  I showed the first one to several people but did not say what it was supposed to be and they all said it was a pendant.  I was rather deflated at that, but how would they know what I was trying to design?  I then came up with the second button egg.  So which one should I run with?...

Here he is wearing a tatted necklace A closer view of the necklace I am very pleased with the way the necklace turned out and will be making more when I can find the pattern that I very quickly wrote out.
