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.

Iris Niebach Special

I absolutely have no excuse for neglecting my blog this time but humphhhh....

I had so much to share but laziness takes over so fast. So this time I just made up my mind to show all that I have been hiding so far.

So hear you go... Iris had written to me sometime back volunteering to send me a few of her books, and am spellbound, I have no words for the kindest gestures that I have received after entering this tatting forum.

Each person is special and they undoubtedly shower me all the love they can in their own special way, not forgetting to mention what great friendship I share with all of them.

I love you all so much!

I made a small motif from one of her books.

Isn't this beautiful.... This is my favourite.

I am currently experimenting patterns from Rozella Linden's book " Easy Tatting" and I like this one a lot. I plan to make a big motif by joining many more small motif's like this together. This is very similar to the bookmark that I made sometime back. I took this pattern from Susanne who was kind enough to share the pattern with me. By far, that bookmark happens to be the best out of what I have tatted till now.

A small Heart. This is again from Rozella Linden's book "Easy Tatting".

This is a pattern from the book "Easy Tatting" by Rozella Linden's. This is a great book for beginners. I liked a few and wanted to try it out. I have ordered some more books and hopefully they arrive soon.
