As soon as we got home we had an unexpected visit from dear friends from Japan. So its been a whirlwind and I just now have a chance to sit at the computer.
I've missed you all! I have so many blogs to catch up on it's almost daunting....LOL, thank goodness they are about tatting.
When I got home there was a large package, me mum sent, waiting for me and in it were bits of tatting from my great granny. I am so amazed at how her tatting is making its way back to me. It is WONDERFUL!
Here they are! They are so special to me, knowing that she tatted these with her hands.
If my great gran was still with us I just know that she would LOVE what is happening in the tatting world today! We have so many choices of threads and patterns and colors that were not available in her time....I even have a feeling that she would start her own blog....
Happy belated Valentine's Day!
