All good things must come to an end....

After almost 8 years in the Dallas Texas area, we are relocating. That's what happens when DH retires! lol
We knew our stay would one day come to an end. Bittersweet. *smile*

My awesome tatting group 'Tuesday Tatters' honored me with a 'Winter Fest Ice Cream Social'. All the fixing to make Ice Cream Sundae's and Banana Splits! It was a wonderful surprise. A big thank you to those of you who put this together and were able to participate.

For over 5 years the group has been more then tatting. Its has brought along great friendship. I have been truly blessed, in many ways. Ladies who are eager and welling to share their talents and appreciate the skills others have to share. But as I have said to each and everyone of them, we are only a click of the PC or phone call away! Don't you just love modern technology! And to mention only a 5 and half hour drive. lol


                                        Here we are, I'm in the middle, sitting down.

I am thankful for those who were able to attend. You have to know how special this was. Speaking of special, I had another surprise.

This lovely card was made by my friend Lucile Doehring! She also had little cards signed by those that were there and even added 'thumbprint hearts'!

The cards fit in the little pocket. Yes, I am loved! *smile* 

Our home sold very quickly and another found just as easily. Early February his will be my new tatting area. I think I am going to love it.  Oh, we'll be in the Ozark Mountain area, with lots and lots of trees, rolling hills and long and winding roads!

Weather permitting it should be perfect.

Card Making

Many thanks to Lucille! At our Tuesday Tatting Group, she made this beautiful card with her pretty stencils and beautiful colors. Today I added my tatting pieces and will use if for a 'Thank you' card!

More Cards for the Refridge

The one with the butterfly and flower is a 'corner bookmark'. I used the corner of an envelope...clever huh.

Tatting: What to do with bits and pieces....

MAKE CARDS!!
This was my first attempt. Not a very clear pic. But you get the idea.

This one, I decided to add the 'stamp' on the back side. Both have a small piece of
magnitc tape.

...taking a little break

I guess I just need time away from the quilting table. I found this wonderful card stitching on line and decided to make this butterfly for my friend Mary. Instead of card, I made mine on a piece of felt. I will insert that into a card.

Years ago I made her quilt. I have added the pic of it. I will put it in a card and mail it today. Hope it makes her smile...

I also had my first tatting class on Tues. So much fun. Met a group of women that was just a nice as could be. I was also given a few web sites and I did join a few groups. There are people out there that just amaze me. Such talent and a so willing to share and teach!

Next door a group was pinning a quilt using a stand up frame. Learn how to use a pin closer thingy. Now, when I get one, I'll know how to use it.
Wonderful women there too! Wow. See what happens when you leave your house...you meet people. lol
