Thanks for the comment on my tatting shuttle. They are a joy to make. Hope you are doing well. Since my big move I haven't been keeping up with all my wonderful blog friends. Hope to get on a routine again soon. Take care.

Thank you for your nice comments regarding my blog! I'm loving the slideshow that is playing while I'm typing this...the christmas ornaments especially!!!

Happy New Year! xo Susan

It has been wonderful meeting you here and in the blogging world too ............ and will continue to keep an eye on you in 2010.

Thank you for the good wishes, TattingChic. I can't believe you haven't tatted an Iris doiley! I look forward to seeing one fly off your shuttles in 2010, perhaps?
Fascinating reading, your post about the Lydia Pinkham shuttles, I am guessing she was the inspiration behind the song "Lily the Pink" sung by the Scaffold in the sixties? (If you remember back then, LOL)

Thanks for the well wishes. Hope you and the family have a happy and safe New Year too!

Hi and Happy New Year! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too! It's so nice to "see" familiar faces here. Broke fingers on my right hand a couple of weeks ago and just counting the days until I can pick up my shuttle again. I have already tried, but it doesn't work too well. 3 DS in 10 minutes really breaks the rhythm of the work LOL!!
Typing is interesting, too. At least I don't lose my train of thought too much.

Thankyou. Yours is too! I wish I could tatt/crochet!

Thanks, have a great New Year and keep up the good work :-)

Hello Tatting Chic, You create truly beautiful tatting creations. I also wish you a lovely Healthy and Happy New Year too. You friendship is cherished and treasured too. Hugs Judy

Thanks for wanting to be my friend. I love tatting, but having a short break at the moment as real life is getting in the way abit. My daughter is 3 next month, and we have lots of preperations to do with her starting school in January.
I will get back to the tatting very soon, I am going to a fair a week on Sunday and was told there may be some tatters there, so i'll be buying some more shuttles while I am there.

I love your tatted leaves--so delicate and such charming, appropriate colors. My maternal grandmother was a tatter. Unfortunatley, my mother nor I took advantage of learning it from her. I taught myself to tat following book directions with a long needle about 15 years ago. (I didn't know at the time that bobbin tatting is more common. The kit I bought had the loooooooooong needle with directions for using it.) At that time I made two small designs. I did not keep it up so I have forgotten how. Perhaps, one day I'll relearn this craft. (My mother told me that her mother would tat their slips and undershirts when she and my four aunts were little girls. :-)

Thanks for the explanation on SRE. I have never come across it shortened before, neither have I tried the technique. So that's another thing I must try!

HelloTatting Chic, Thanks for being my friend. Hugs Judy

Hi Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind comments. Aren't the flowers lovely? It is the beads that make them, they are tricut beads and they really sparkle. I think I am starting a love affair with beads :)

I've visited your blog a few times. You have some fans on one of my yahoo groups and ever so often one says 'You must to to Tatting Chic's blog and see what she has made now'. I must say your tatting is inspirational. I was just admirring the autumn leaves in your gallery. I can't get the hand of tatting, not that I have tried too hard, but the flip thing defeats me so far.
