Scrunchie

When I saw Tattinchic's post on this I knew I had to tat this out and so I did.
Here is a snap shot at my version of the Hair Scrunchie.
Threads I've used is sherry's Spring Poppies size 20, while the other one in shades of pink is size 10 thread which I got from etsy store. Size 10 I feel makes it look more organised. It took me a while to tat this and I so fell in love with it that I was actually tatting both of these simultaneously. It really does make a wonderful gift.

Mail Call... Finally!


I cannot express how happy I am. I have finally received the books that I have been longing for a very long time.

I had ordered this book along with others from the lacemakerusa.com sometime in October last year (2007) and I still haven't received it. So instead of waiting around I finally reordered from Lacis this time and it came. Phew! I was scared I'd lose it again. I also ordered a couple of sew mate and boye shuttles as well.

My October order has other books including, Christmas Angels, Tatting Collage, Elegant Tatting Patterns, Tatting Patterns and Tatting With Visual Patterns. I think I lost a few treasures. :-(

I am slowly filling up my library with tatting books and as you can see I've had rot luck in the past. I just keep wondering where the post has disappeared? who'd be interested in them apart from crazy tatters like us?

Well I think that's a question which will puzzle me always. I also ordered a couple more books and I am keeping my fingers crossed that I receive it safely this time again.
