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
