Gifts, tatting and tatted gifts....

Well, it has been a rough week. I had a short stay in the hospital but I am back home and everything is fine. I am having a hard time gaining weight with this pregnancy and being sick every day for 5 weeks has taken its toll. I have hope that things should start looking up soon however.

I was surprised to receive a gift from Connie via a fellow tatter while I was at Shuttlebirds. I was even more surprised when it turned out to be a gift not for me but actually for Blathnaid aka Brenda, my leprechaun. She was so excited to receive her very own snowboard and skateboard set. I taught her how to do railslides first thing. It took her a couple of times but leprechauns have excellent balancing skills so she nailed it pretty quickly.

Here is some tatting I have been working on for my little Picadilly. It is "Hanky Edge #1" from Beginning Tatting by Gloria Crowther. It has pink in it but I promised myself to keep pink to a minimum with my baby. Too much pink makes me want to puke! ....literally....ha ha!


KystleDawn gifted me this beautiful earring set also at shuttlebirds. It is my favorite color and I just LOVE them! Her tatting is so immaculate.
