My New-To-Me Book has arrived!!

Santa has arrived early to me here in NE Iowa.. I have been waiting and watching for the final book to full my collection of Mary Konior series... "A Pattern Book of Tatting". Well low and behold if I didn't find one in my price range on Ebay... The ironic part is that I won this auction the same evening as when my friend came and picked up the bookmarks I made for her!! The purchase price of the book was $3 less than the amount my friend gave me for making the bookmarks for her!! So it was if she bought the book for me!! Love It!! Also while she was here she ordered three more from me... What a great feeling that someone likes them as much as I like making them ;) The thing I like most about these bookmarks are you can customize them for who you are giving them to.. Needless to say about everyone in my family will be getting one for Christmas this year... along with my co-workers.. Also I had to try out a pattern out of the new book too. Plus I made a couple of covered ornaments for some exchanges I am in for Christmas... Only thing there, I didn't take pictures of them.. bummer...

What? 4 More?? :)

Surprise Surprise... 4 more bookmarks.. :) Here are yet 4 more bookmarks.A friend of mine stopped by the other night and seen one of my bookmarks laying on my kitchen table. After talking about them, she asked me to make some for her family members for Christmas gifts... I was honored.. So I have a list of 8 for her to make, along with some I would like to give out as gifts too. Three of these are her's. All tatted in Lizbeth thread. Red Burst, Turquoise Twist, Spring Time and Angel's Love. The charms on these are from Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby. I have started a pair of baby booties.. Will post a picture of them when completed.. Happy Tatting!!
