I Think I have a Problem

 First off, life has gotten away from me for quite sometime.  COVID, retirement, family and an aging mother had taken a toll.  I know these sound as excuses (I know they do to me), but with a passing comes relief, and a renewed energy to craft again.

Attended the 20th anniversary of Tat Days sponsored by the Palmetto Tatters.  Had a blast.  It was nice to catch up on people, share small talk, learn new techniques, and have fun.

The blue Beanille lace pendant is a finished project from this years Tat Days.  The red Beanile is called Floating Heart.  I had started this project for my GDaughter in honor of her heart surgery years ago.  Finally finished.  She is excited!

Now for my problem.  Since I am energized in crafting, specifically Tatting, again, I just received Laura Bziukiewicz’s new book called Bonded with Tatting - Doilies.  Just looking through it, it seems well done.  Patterns are written and diagrammed.  Each diagram has the rows color coded and specifies 2 shuttles or ball and shuttle.  Here is the problem,  almost every pattern in this book I want to make!😲  I guess I had better get busy.

  1. What a great problem to have! I'm glad life has settled down enough for you to be able to tat and blog. Lovely hearts.

  2. I have been working through Laura's book, and I think the patterns are fabulous! I've been working on her Star of Bethlehem for several months. It's not a hard pattern, but I've been distracted by preparation for my daughter's wedding and knitting and crocheting patterns that I couldn't resist! Please post pictures of your progress. I need the motivation! ;-)
