Road Trip .... to the Tatting Corner

      I was impatient, waiting for the thunderstorm to pass by --- then, hit the road.    Had an errand for DH in Indianapolis .... then on to The Tatting Corner.   

Picked up (and purchased) Kaye B. Judt's book -- More O'This + Tat.    I hope to get tatting on some of these projects.   I like the fan, the butterfly, and was interested in the shamrock (could it hold 3 small ice drops???), etc.   Very nice patterns.  While there, I also picked up some Anchor fiber and Bellatrista (milk protein fiber).   Not sure about the Milk yarn ... thought it would make a pretty necklace or bracelet, or something.

Did you know Jenni C (from Australia) was visiting?   All heading to Tat Days in Georgia Weds morning.  She makes stunningly beautiful fobs.   I chose the silver one with owl and blue beads.   So pretty!!!   She also had BIRCH tatting ( post ) shuttle -- with bobbin in the package.   What?   For real.  This was much discussed on the Tatting Shuttle Addicts FB page.    Delighted to have in my tatting shuttle collection.   And did you see the pink scissors?  So light weight, colorful, and favourite -- nice points, sharp!!!  New-to-me HDT fiber, "Bloom" S20, 45m, AlenAleaDesign on Etsy.   Thx Jenni - you are so generous.... it was so nice to meet you in person after only knowing you by reading Facebook posts!!!   Safe travels wile in USA and on your way back to Australia.

And, a little something for Jenni .... origami bag, ort container, and a box of little treasures!!!   I also tucked in 'peace' , Yarnplayer's HDT fiber.
