My father always says: There's only one way to eat an elephant. I feel the painful truth of that in this tablecloth. So after my wrists recovered from vacation, I realized I had mislaid my work. After a frantic search yesterday, I managed to track down both the tea cloth and the smaller balls of the thread I had made and put, genius that I am, in a different project bag. And since all the project bags are the same but for the stickers from getglue.com, I had also promptly ...

I have come to understand that you cannot have a steady income with tatting. People think that you can pay cheaply for hand made crafts anymore. It's very disappointing.. It also then makes it hard to bartering. . *SMH* One person come here for me to teach her.. and then said thank you and left.. never another word from her again. I didn't realize my time was free . . . SOrry.. Needing to vent... I have been to Etsy and see so much in tatting and using so many other ...
I have been working very hard on different projects, but was unable to post any pictures until I purchased some batteries for my camera! Finally bought them yesterday and so here is what I have been up to. Firstly, I made a crocheted baby coverlet in 3D roses and decorated it with tatted motifs and borders. I have line the coverlet with fleece to make it really cosy. Although it ...

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. Tatted bracelet by flanklin_globblin, on Flickr ...

I haven't taken the picture yet. but will add it sometime today.. take care and keep tatting ...

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. ...
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 ...
Been busy , I got sidetracked,on the snowflakes, and am making a black split ring necklace with a a tatted focal I will write more k from one of my favorite books,"Tatting from burda" It's been translated from German by Etha Schuette. It's put out by Lacis Publications. The pictures are amazing, but although I feel that some instructions were lost in translation.the diagrams seem accurate. I will write more later, right now I need to tat. ...
