CAMP WANNA GIGGLE

I had the best time at Camp Wanna Tat. There was more laughing, giggling and teasing going on than anything else. I made a lot of new friends, learned some new things and ate very well! Oh boy can these gals cook!
The first day we worked with single shuttle split rings and that afternoon we tatted this little beauty:

Tatted in size 80 "Majestic".
I just LOVE Camelia's pineapple designs. They are a joy to tat!

My new friend Karla taught me Lucet (I know, I know, it isn't tatting...but it IS something I have wanted to learn for awhile). Karla made a wonderful video on YouTube where you can learn it too.

I still need to perfect my tension. Currently I am working on a lucet cord in silk. I already have lots of ideas for using lucet cord with tatting.

The second day we received a delightful apron pattern from Irene Morgan. Unfortunately I have not yet finished tatting it because I was a "knotty" girl who was working on another project during this time.

I am happy to say that that "other" project was the last project I needed to finish for my Master's T.A.T. program. I cannot tell you how wonderful it felt to turn in the T.A.T.
I have been working on the program for nearly 3 years. If all goes well, I will have my Master's tatting certificate soon. Double WHOO HOO!!!

...and lastly I had the privilege of teaching a lesson on folded rings to my new buddies. It is a lesson which I plan to share here when I get a few minutes to do so.....Hmmmm....hopefully by the end of the year??? LOL

The Moj-inator

Some of you have asked after the Moj-ness Monster. He is doing great! He has been with us a little over a month now and has completely taken over the household.
He loves to wrestle on his back and take baths...(that's what he is doing in the photos.)

Mojo and my dog have created quite the partnership. She sits patiently by while he throws food to her.

My three legged kitty learned his lesson when his curiosity got the best of him and he decided to take a sniff and got his nose bit.

I am going to start clicker training with Mojo next week. I hope to get him potty trained and doing some fun "tricks" to keep his smart bird brain active and his hyperness in check.

Today, I am leaving for "Camp Wanna Tat" and I won't be taking my computer. I'll be home Sunday evening...so don't despair...the winner/s will be posted Sunday night.
