Thu, 10 Feb 2011 01:51:11 GMT I have just finished another of Lyn Morton's patterns this time using some of her lovely metallic thread. Was it worth all that effort to order on-line, pay a million dollars extra because of the exchange rate and wait wait wait for it the package to arrive ( because of the blizzards shutting down the Uk).
Yes! Yes! Yes! The thread is so lovely to tat with and the end product so crisp. Love it Love it Love it.
So here is the link to my blog with my picture.

A delicious toasted crumpet covered with Vegemite what could be better to put a good spin on the day. Seeing as today started with the cat sitting on my head to wake me (taking the whole ' me cat you slave' thing a bit too far if you ask me) I think I will be needing a lot of yummy comfort food. Oh don't worry I will eat healthily, Chocolate is a vegetable you know. :wine:and wine is a fruit and southern comfort comes from peaches. Oh yes I will be sooooo healthy. ]]> Green Gal http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?344-Healthy-start-to-the-day http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?328-YIPPEE!

Zippiddy Do Dah Hip Hip Hurray! My thread has arrived. The doorbell rang and I practically leaped out the front door in all my morning glory. Hair sticking up wildly and crumpled pajamas no makeup.

Its taken 10 full days from the time it left US to when it actually hit Aust. That's too fast for a boat isn't it and too slow for a plane. It must be sightseeing on the way. But it's an interesting question. I would have thought that it would have been by air, but 10 days!. It has now zoomed through customs and hopefully it's on it way to me. To say that I can't wait is a huge understatement. Maybe tomorrow. ]]> Green Gal http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?323-Sherlock-Holmes-and-the-case-of-the-traveling-thread http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?321-Too-many-things-on-the-boil-Yes-it-must-be-Christmas Thu, 18 Nov 2010 10:12:37 GMT Don't know about you but I currently have 8 billion and two projects on the go at the moment. So I just keep spinning from one to the other trying manfully to finish one off each day. Hah!
Like that is going to happen! So can we put off Christmas for 2 months so that I can catch up.

Because once again I am NOT going to get to the NSW Guild meeting. THIS time its election day and I was worried about I could vote and get there in time. But not too worry I sorted all my worries out, -- by stuffing up my back again So flat on my back for most of this week.

I'm trying to work out how I seem to attract so much bad luck. Did I have a doozy of a last life or upset some fairy? Or a good old fashion gypsy curse. Has to be something like that. ]]> Green Gal http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?214-I-must-have-upset-a-fairy http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?180-keeping-busy Sun, 11 Jul 2010 07:13:42 GMT Well I feel like I have been missing all the action here at Intatters.

I have been told not to tat for a while :sad: so have hauled out my knitting again. If nothing else it has given me a few new ideas about how to link knittng and tatting. Unfortunately my knitting stash had shrunk away so my poor little credit card got a bashing at Spotlight.

Its our wedding anniversary and my hubby is notorious for not buying anything so this time I went and bought myself a beautiful ring. I told him I was going to do this and that he had to get his own present this time.

I got in really late last night and my fingers were itching to pick up anything and tat.
On the plus side while searching through mums cupboards for receipts and tax stuff i managed to find some of my granmas old tatting books and threads stashed away. But the old ivory shuttle just seperated the post just disintergrated. wonder if I there is a way to repair it. ]]> Green Gal http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?58-Tatless-Weekend http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?45-Blah-Blah-Blah Sun, 31 Jan 2010 06:15:22 GMT So here i sit / lie groaning theatrically.

I want to do some tatting and I just cant decide what to do. I keep looking at my threads and nothing leaps into mind as what to do. Send me some inspiration please. Something wonderful to do with a hank of glorious variegated thread. ]]> Green Gal http://www.intatters.com/entry.php?37-tatting-brain-broken
