Today is Day one of Jane's TIAS. Since I am already up to my ears in tatting I have decided to participate. I encourage everyone to give it a go. Jane's patterns are always a delight and she is so generous to share her time and talents with us.
On another note: I will be teaching and vending once again at the 2012 Shuttlebirds Tatting Convention. I am very excited and I always look forward to this annual event.
So why am I to my ears in tatting you may ask? Well, I have had some pretty terrible luck this past year with my computer/s and believe it or not I lost all the work I had put into my fourth tatting book...AGAIN!
Yes, for the second time all my work completely lost in yet another catastrophic hard drive failure. I am not going to go into it any further because I am still pretty disgusted.
Moving on, I am now the proud owner of a much needed new computer and I back everything up on not one but TWO external hard drives. I'm even toying with the idea of adding a third external hard drive because I truly have THE worst luck on the planet. So with all that said I am back on the Ol' horse for the third time around, starting from scratch on my "Branching Encapsulation" book, which I hope to have completed by the time Shuttlebirds rolls around in April.
Don't forget to sign up on my giveaway.

Oooh, glad you're taking part in the TIAS. Can I 'steal' your image to put on the TIAS blog, please? What rotten luck with the computers - SO glad I migrated to a Mac and I have two hard drive backups too!!!
I'm also participating in this again. I love seeing the different threads people use and how the finished item looks.
Have fun, Liz x
Good to hear you have a new computer AND the backups. Have you thought of trying one of those on-line backup servers? I've been thinking about trying it as I would hate too loose all our pictures, but haven't taken the leap yet.
I'm joining the TIAS also, just forgot the beads when I went to wrap the shuttles so it will have to wait until tomorrow.
