Snow, snow, and snow...what is a girl to do?

Ah yes, zipper pulls using Yarnplayer's HDT fiber and free pattern by Grace Tan.  Yummy fiber - yummy color!

Yarnplayer's HDT fiber and free pattern from

The Spool Cotton Co. c.1936

My onion rings are kinda wobbly.  more practice needed.   

Tatting WIP - using Yarnplayer's HDT - which I find looks pretty good when I have to untat & retat - open closed rings to fix an error -- and the colors!!!!  beautiful colors.

I enjoy getting the Tatting Bella On Line newsletter via e-mail.   Georgia Seitz, Editor, shares fabulous articles.    Recently, she began sharing diagrams + patterns of tatting motifs, edges, from this 1936 publication.   While the black-n-white photos from the book are good - I find it so much easier to have a pattern to follow and diagram.    Link to the newsletter archives - HERE.


This is TIAS - day 11 (day 12 available today):




Thank you Jane for the funness!!!  Such an interesting motif.     Looked forward to all the pattern days and learned how to add buttons into my tatting.

    Nice thread colours & tatting :-)
    A craftsperson does need as many scissors as can be possible, right :-))
