It's Almost Christmas

It's almost Christmas which is a wonderful time of the year. We are able to share precious moments with families and friends, take a a little time to reflect back on all of our blessings, share fond memories about those who are no longer with us, and enjoy this season of our lives.

May your heart and home be filled
with the true spirit of Christmas
- JESUS!

Thank you, Lord, for the blessings you have bestowed on me and my family. Thank you for our health and fellowship with friends and family. Bless all who are away from home protecting us from harm and bring them back safely. Be with friends and family as they travel across the street or across the world to see loved ones. Even as we enjoy the celebration of Christmas, help us to remember that you are truly the reason we celebrate this season.

May God fill your life
with love, joy and peace
this Holiday Season
and throughout the New Year.

Tatting Techniques to Learn and Practice

As part of the 25 Motif Challenge, I decided that I would learn as many new tatting techniques as possible, well, hopefully, at least one per motif.

This section will briefly list the new techniques I've incorporated into my tatting and some of the ongoing things I continue to practice. Here goes...

Split rings (very important and a lot of fun to use in a motif); adding beads; lock joins; switching shuttles, SLT, and the Magic Thread Trick.

Two ways to hide ends and how to add new thread.

I made my very first piece of 'jewelry' which was a pendant for the InTatter's April Pendant Exchange.

Created a rose motif for a crazy quilt block and made my first doily.

Finally figured out how to tat a cluny leaf!

...the list will continue as I progress through the 25 Motif Challenge and the other projects I'll be working on this year.

Thanks to Jane's TIAS in 2011, I learned how to do the Continuous Thread Join to hide a thread along the tops of my tatting as a way of moving both threads to a different spot without having to do it by making a chain.

Frontside/Backside tatting. Who knew such a small thing could make such a big difference? I love the way my tatting looks using frontside/backside tatting.

Stay tuned for more...
