Sales and inspirations for tatting!!!

My sister gave me money for my birthday(first time 

ever).  So, I carefully decided what I would get with 

it and told her I would send her pictures.
It took a couple of months to decide, and then a trip 

to Hobby Lobby.

I got 5 new shirts which I intend(and had better do 

this time!!!)  ;)   to put tatting on each, and a couple 

of the ones I bought several years back to do the same 

with, but just left them.

Next, I also got beads & charms.  The charms are 

for earrings(our daughter's suggestion), and the 

beads are for tatted projects which have already 

been in the practice, and thought works since last 

year.

Then, I found 2 of these towering pumpkins for 70% 

off.  They were originally $20 each, but I got them 

for 6 each(there are 2 in this picture one behind the 

other), and I got a 3rd which the base broke off for 

around $4 for a breakage discount.

And.....some of my all time favorite Christmas 

shows in puzzles for 1/2 off!!!

And, this is just to show the beautiful gift 

my in-laws had made for us.

Then, we went for more bargain hunting and 

I ended up with 3 ceramic paint yourself  

turkeys which light up.  And, the autumn 

leaf chimes, and all the  beads.
The light up pumpkin in back is our daughter's.

Below is a close-up of the beads from the picture 

above.  The hot pink hearts are already sitting with 

Lizbeth Rainbow Splash thread waiting to be 

fancied up with tatting, soon!!

We also went to our local Dollar Tree store and 

got several Christmas garlands.  We have "wreath" 

frames shaped like candy canes and are planning 

on making them up like I did a few last year.

And here is a picture:

I have finished tatting 2 Christmas gifts, but 

have ends to sew in and then string them in 

a ring, so you will see tatting soon!!!  And, 

I have worked on some snowflakes which will 

be shown next week with details, and then 

hopefully at least one heart will be shown soon!
Have an awesome and blessed tatting filled 

weekend!!! :)
