My sister gave me money for my birthday(first time
ever). So, I carefully decided what I would get with
it and told her I would send her pictures.
It took a couple of months to decide, and then a trip
It took a couple of months to decide, and then a trip
to Hobby Lobby.
I got 5 new shirts which I intend(and had better do
this time!!!) ;) to put tatting on each, and a couple
of the ones I bought several years back to do the same
with, but just left them.
Next, I also got beads & charms. The charms are
for earrings(our daughter's suggestion), and the
beads are for tatted projects which have already
been in the practice, and thought works since last
year.
Then, I found 2 of these towering pumpkins for 70%
off. They were originally $20 each, but I got them
for 6 each(there are 2 in this picture one behind the
other), and I got a 3rd which the base broke off for
around $4 for a breakage discount.
And.....some of my all time favorite Christmas
shows in puzzles for 1/2 off!!!
And, this is just to show the beautiful gift
my in-laws had made for us.
Then, we went for more bargain hunting and
I ended up with 3 ceramic paint yourself
turkeys which light up. And, the autumn
leaf chimes, and all the beads.
The light up pumpkin in back is our daughter's.

Below is a close-up of the beads from the picture
above. The hot pink hearts are already sitting with
Lizbeth Rainbow Splash thread waiting to be
fancied up with tatting, soon!!
We also went to our local Dollar Tree store and
got several Christmas garlands. We have "wreath"
frames shaped like candy canes and are planning
on making them up like I did a few last year.
And here is a picture:

I have finished tatting 2 Christmas gifts, but
have ends to sew in and then string them in
a ring, so you will see tatting soon!!! And,
I have worked on some snowflakes which will
be shown next week with details, and then
hopefully at least one heart will be shown soon!
Have an awesome and blessed tatting filled
