Gifted threads!!!

I had a lady who met me at a craft show many years 

ago(before the virus).  She had called me many months 

or a year later and told me she had threads she would 

like to give me.  So I had a few bags from her back then. 

Well, Monday night I got another call from her and she 

told me a lady in her crochet group had lots of thread she 

wanted to give to someone who could use it, and that she 

had more also.  Well, I met up with her on Tuesday and 

The bag in front is from the lady I "know" and the rest 

is all from the lady she knows.  All different sizes.  I was 

excited to see the Sulky thread so I can try them out!! 

There is one bag mostly size 30 so it will go to someone 

else, but my friend who crochets towel tops is receiving 

all the 10's, 5's, and 3's.
I gifted the two ladies a tatted Ice Drop each.  The happy 

and surprised faces were worth it!!

The necklace I am tatting is taking time, but making 

progress:

And, I am back working on plastic canvas name tags 

for some of my seniors(no pictures today). 
Have a wonderful day and get some tatting time in!! :)

 

Tatting goodies!!!

Our daughter needed to get out of the house for a bit 

today so I suggested that we walk through Hobby Lobby 

because we haven't been there since around Christmas.

Well...they had Lizbeth threads for clearance and I spotted 

the size 80 black first, then our daughter spotted 2 of the 

size 3's and I caught the last one.  At those prices I could 

not leave them there!!!  Then I noticed the little pamphlet 

in the center of the picture which has 3 tatting patterns in it 

and it was free.  And then I had to see what was on sale in 

the beads section(TROUBLE!!!).  I found these discs(top 

left side) and the strings of beads.  Now hoping for 

inspiration after we move(not now!!!  although, tempted!!!).

 And, last night I wanted to empty a shuttle(the one used 

for our granddaughter's small doily), and I decided to 

see if there was enough thread to tat the center of the 

doily with beads as another pendant-yep!!  :)

Hope your day is filled with peace and tatting!!! :)

Guess what I just inherited.....

My in-laws just dropped by and my mother-in-law 

said that her friend(who knows I tat) sent these 

threads and said that "I needed them".  

She is a very sweet lady and I am blessed!!  :)

Right now I am working on the start of next year's 

challenge(first to finish this years-late), and the gold 

thread in this bag is calling me(love the sparkles)!

I think these are all size 10, but I just got them 

and quick too a picture before running out of light 

(I used the flash too) so that I could show you!  :)

Happy tatting everyone!!!  :)
