Yesterday I received a kit from Lenka Sushanek ; so I tried to make lace with wire ; not easy, but the result look good.

Next attempt, I will try with wire n.34 to have a finest work.

My birthday, today ; I have been spoiled.

A book about Princess Diana, a book about Family tree and beads for my tatting from my daughter, Laura

A memory card for my Palm, threads for tatting, beads for tatting, brushes and canvas for my painting.

I'm really spoiled.
Also today a parcel arrived from Lacis : looms for Teneriffe Lace, and guess what ....3 shuttles !!!

I'm really crazy about tatting.

I'm very upset ; I paid the weblog to have pictures to show to my friends ; pictures of my works and it doesn't work.
I hope that Rocky will help me.

Yesterday, I finished another project ; beaded tatting and I followed a pattern of Nina Libin - bnl 016.
Her address : http://www.beanile.com

I'm very proud of it because I was not sure to complete it.

Today, I made my homework for Monday's Online tatting Class ; I'm ready (for once !!!:D )

Laura, my daughter, weared the earrings to show you ; very nice, isn't it !!!

Here, my second attempt in Teneriffe Lace ; it's better than the first one... but it's not finished.
I'm planning to add tatting around.

My second entry today is my NATA pictures ; I'm so proud of it.

My entry today is for my sister, Nanou, just to show her the dancer evolution.
Very hard, but so fun to make.

I think that I finish my new settings ; I spent two days to repair my mistake... computer, html, graphics... now, I'm mixing everything.

I will be back tomorrow with pictures.

I have more white hair.... I lost my first template and now, I'm trying to learn html.... what a big mistake.

Yesterday evening, I learned how to make Teneriffe Lace..
Look


I'm not really proud of me but now, I know that I must decrease the tension of the thread ; it was so difficult to knot the last row.
I will try another design today.

It was great ; the first time I was in an exchange.
The first partner was from singapore and the second from Riverside, CA


Thanks my Secret Santas, thanks so much ; I must thank also Kersti who coordinated all the exchange.
:D

It was for me the first time ; I had 2 partners.
I received today my second package,
The first one will be scanned tomorrow.

:D

During the holidays, I teached also painting to Johannie.
Sometimes, painting was not only on the canvas ; look the picture :


The day after, look the result.

My dear daughter, Johannie came to visit us in Canada during the Holidays ; like a good NATA member, I teached her tatting ; when she was young, I teached her needdle tatting and now, it was time for shuttle.
The flip was not very sure !!!


Tatting is not a lost art and we will contribute for it
