But not taking a break from tatting, it seems.
We left this morning around seven-thirty, eight o'clock, and my mom decided to ask me to bring my tatting things. I've been trying to help her learn how to do this -- my great-grandmother tried to teach her while she was a child but all she could make were knots!
Good thing my workspace is so portable, otherwise I may go crazy trying to keep up with it all!!
Also designing in my office/craft space to get ready for this Christmas. I'm hoping that on the way home we can stop again at the flea market we stopped at before lunch and get some baskets -- M's family are all getting some good ol' southern goodness for Christmas this year!! I'm hoping to get some snowflakes tatted up for them to go with everything.. I've got a lot to do before then!!
Also learned a new way to knit, so everyone may be getting hats/scarves as well. Just need to get the yarn and I'll be good to go!^^

Pictures!!
Firstly, I have been putting this off for awhile, but now I have no excuse not to!
These are the HDT's that I ordered from Lady Shuttle Maker, and are these colors (clockwise from top-left): Icicle (size 20) x2, Shades of Gray (size 20) and Autumn Medley (size 80). The tiny tatted medallion is based on a daisy pattern that I can't remember where the pattern is, but is very easy to make! The camera doesn't do these threads justice; the colors are more vibrant than they look!
Also, was surfing earlier today, and ran across a post on another blog about posting pictures of where people tat. Since I don't have my office ready, I tat on my futon in the living room, and house all of my items in these boxes:
Sis and I are going to be going through a furniture swap in the next few days. I will be sayng bye to a wing-back chair to say hello to a fluffy blue recliner! I love that chair and can't wait to get it in place. Not sure if it will go in the living room or in the office, as it will most likely become my crafty chair.
More pictures to come as I get some projects done! ^^

Update?
I received my HDT's from Lady Shuttle Maker a while back, and can't think of what to do with them! For now, they are hidden away in my tatting box. Pictures up soon, as well as a pattern!
I finally was able to complete my first pattern, which I have no idea what to call! It looks like a sun when it's tatted up in a golden thread (which I have done, however I made a mistake and will need to re-do the tatted piece). Pictures of everything will be posted once I get some new batteries for my camera!
I'm also working on my crafty area, as my office is currently a mess overflowing with boxes from the move. It's been a year, and I still haven't fully moved in!
Now, it's off to lunch! ^^
