Freeing up a few shuttles

Spent a couple of hours freeing up some shuttles this weekend. I managed to made these butterflies from 50 Butterflies Migrating, Palmetto Tatters Guild.

Hello, It's Me Again

This blog has been woefully neglected. Up until this weekend I had not picked up my tatting shuttles, or knitting needles in months. I am not a very accomplished knitter any way so no surprise there, however I was taking part in the 25 Motif Challenge and thoroughly enjoyed that. I need to recommit.  Although I have been doing some paper crafts I did not take many pictures or post any. Thanks to Lelia, who left a comment for me this weekend I got out my shuttle and made a small butterfly from 50 Butterflies Migrating, Palmetto Tatters Guild (PTG on FB). I want to make a few more and send them on to Houston for the Butterfly Project. I will post some pictures later when I get some more done.

In the meantime here is a crate of chocolate filled carrots that I made to share with my co-workers over the Easter weekend. The crate and carrots were from 2 kits from SVG Cuts.

Shuttle entry No.1

I have woefully neglected this blog, but I am here. In April I attended the Atlanta Lace Guild workshop. I got a class taught by Jane Armstrong on 6 shuttle tatting. I was not sure what to expect, but I signed up any way. There were 9 of us in class and we had great time I still have to work on my tension but I was able to complete a small rosette.
