  1. A short piece to peace of mind

    This has been one crazy, hectic summer. I've been feeling the need to tat something, anything, just for the graceful simplicity of it. This edging was in the the first pamphlet managed to dig out. My world was a little more zen-like, and the little one got a cute bracelet. The universe has balance once a again. For now.

  8. My next Breath 3



    Hello again from East Liverpool. Ohio. I haven't had much of a chance to work on my tatting, new medicine makes me very sleepy. I am a persistant tatter, I finished the black split ring chain, Iran out of working thread, just as I finished the last stitch. It has been my experience, that with tatting, if you think something is difficult,it will be. So I am resigned to thinking that this particular pattern is do-able. I look forward to your comments. ...

  9. Words, Words, Words

    I have written several thousand posts and the reason I found that out was a lot of what I teach is explained right here on InTatters and refined over time. The refined over time part is really interesting. I have developed new viewpoints as new complications come up. So I am re-reading all my posts and the threads they appear in and trying to use all this information as a rough draft of technical tatting advice.

    It would be useful to me to let me know when I said something that ...

  12. My last breath/ Converting a shuttle pattern to a needlepattern

    My sister, emailed me and asked for some tatted snowflakes for her Christmas tree. The word got around the nursing home that I was tatting snowflakes, so now all the nurses want snowflakes. Most of the patterns I have are written for the shuttle, so I have to study the pattern. & with most patterns you just have to start in the center and"go with the flow". I tell my students that they can do anything if they can read. In tatting you must be able to tell the front from the back ...

  14. My next breath



    As you can see by my picture(in my profile), That tube coming from my neck attaches me to a vent. If the electricity shuts off, I stop breathing for a few seconds before the emergency generator kicks on. The nurses here at the Nursing home are great!!! When my alarm goes off every one rushes in to help. The administrator has been kind enough to let me make and sell my jewelry. Graduated from West Liberty State Teachers college with two degrees. Elementary Education and Home ...
