Years ago,...Hi Vicki (sends wave to Lori, too!) ... Years ago, I came across a picture of a doily that was tatted and I feel in love with the delicate appearance. So I bought a book and tried to tat. I learned the process but quite frankly, I have the craft ability of a two-year-old. I eventually finished the doily and while it's not beautiful, I've kept it as a reminder of the tatting handicraft.Sheila Seabrookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365100511100802221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-352010591827078292011-09-20T17:37:36.269-07:002011-09-20T17:37:36.269-07:00Tassel making?

When I got together with my girlfriends, we gave it a shot. Two hours and twenty-nine dollars later, I ended up with about 26 bookmarks, all of which were lame. <br /><br />Then I found already made tassels on the internet and bought 750 for $75. It took me all of about an hour to make them, and they look terrific.<br /><br />I love your tatting story.

My problem learning anything with needles or a shuttle is that I am left handed and all my teachers have been right handed. Needless to say my Mom had a tough time teaching me crocheting and knitting. Needlepoint and cross stitching were better choices and I enjoyed them when I did them years ago. Haven't done anything in a long time because I felt I did it all. Now I read. I dabble with sewing projects for my nephew's Halloween costumes. Now I have to go ask my Mother if she's ever heard of tatting and if she did it herself. I'll also need to check your website out too!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564586579222503646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-31309578557098239512011-09-20T13:48:19.898-07:002011-09-20T13:48:19.898-07:00Hi, Linda!

I would also love to learn how to crochet or knit. I think those would be fun. I think the only thing that I started to try and just could not do is scrapbooking. I just don't have the creativity for it. I also don't have the money to spend on it. I like to read and buy books and spend most of my money on that.

My grandmother taught me and she never used a pattern in her life. <br /><br />She could take a look at something someone had made and be able to replicate it exactly after just one look. <br /><br />She did the same thing with clothes. When my mom was little, my grandmother would take her and her sister to the movies to see the newest Shirley Temple film. Then she'd go home and make them the dresses from the movie they'd seen. <br /><br />Me, can't paint, can't do needlepoint, can't do counted cross-stitch. Just not crafty. <br /><br />I think I'll stick to writing. :-) <br /><br />Kathy IvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-35136419209271259362011-09-20T10:44:21.709-07:002011-09-20T10:44:21.709-07:00Hi, Vanetta!
