Since I've mentioned vacation, I figure I'll share that I go to West Virginia to visit family. Anyone know anything that I should check out? I found "New Deal at the Crossroads" which sounds up my alley (and mentions tatting!), but I'm really interested in knowing if anyone knows any great places in West Virginia where I might find tatting stuff of any kind. :-) Remember, I have to order everything online all the time and I've only ever met two other tatters in person, both for very brief times at a bead show. All experience and proof that other tatters [and tatting itself, even] exists is from online or postal exchanges. (Even if anyone knows of a few good thrift or antique stores for me to check out, please, let me know). ♥ Thank you!
Now, there has been tatting. I'll make this brief.
"Lacy Treasure Pendant" designed my Marilee Rockley
Lizbeth Silver, size 10
Hematite-colored beads
"Rhapsody Necklace" designed by Marilee Rockley
Lizbeth Silver, size 10
More Hematite-colored beads
No pattern used.
Lizbeth Charcoal Med. in size 20
Lavender Cat's eye bead and 2mm(?) lavender beads
*I sewed in ends and finished with a toggle clasp after the pictures were taken.
There has been more tatting completed but, for some reason, those are the only pictures I have to share. I guess I should start scanning and/or fighting with my cell phone more often.
Before I go, I just want to give a HUGE thank you to Michelle! Not sure if I'm supposed to give her a public hug, so I'll just put it this way: She made my month!!! Thank you, again, Michelle!
I owe someone else a thank you, but I'm hoping that will fit into my next post, if I can get decent pictures. ;-)
♥,
Stephanie Grace
