MY FIRST ZENTANGLE :)

New Year's Notions

New Year's Notions (because notion describes them better than resolution would...lol):

1. Must knit garments. No more accessories or toys or bags or such until I have the two sweaters that are on my needles finished. I need clothes, not scarves or shawlettes for Petey's sake!

2. Conquer the procrastination proclivity

ok...this is just the start...there will be more notions to come but these two are preying on my mind right now and if I don't write them down I won't remember them in five minutes.

Thanks to PlanetJune http://www.planetjune.com/blog/beaded-poinsettia/ I've been inspired to try making one snowflake ornament every year using a different technique each time...of course, my first one will be tatted...now I'm off to find the perfect tatted snowflake pattern.

Exciting news: my LYS has asked if I will teach a tatting class...this will be great fun!!!

Pennsylvania Guild Fine Crafts Fair

True confession time: I went to the Pennsylvania Guild show for only one reason-too see Elizabeth Zipay's gorgeous work in person. She was very gracious and kindly permitted me to photograph her Booth. Her work is just exquisite! See for yourself

Latest Tatting Effort

Yes, it's another of yarnplayer's gorgeous designs...and her hand dyed "Luna" thread...now I'm off to make some matching earrings!

SPOILED!!!

As you can see I was quite spoiled by my shawlette swap partner-have you ever seen a more beautiful shade of blue? My photo doesn't begin to show you how beautiful the design is...hopefully, Corinna will be posting the pattern for sale on Ravelry soon. Yes, Corinna aka picnicknits was my partner and wow what a great partner!

Don't Be Hatin'

Saturday was bonanza day for me. We went junking/ antiquing and I scored in a big way. We found several vintage guitar instruction and music books, but that's not the best part. I bought two balls of orange thread and two lace hankies for $4, a vintage tatting book for $3, four tatting edged doilies for $5, and here's the grand prize-four vintage tatting shuttles and a crochet hook for $6 and a beautiful treasure box for my tatting for $18!
