For awhile now, my Studio has reflected the multi-tasking phases of my '4R's Bucket List. There is the Jewelry 4R Phase I Station, the Yarn-A-Rama Phase II Station, and the Phase III All-In Fiber Station. That one pretty much includes fabric, buttons, beads, threads, yarns, ribbon, lace et. all.
It was one of those spur of the moment things suggested by my friend Sandy at Sims Fiber Arts Studio while we were 'Sitting and Sewing' on Thursday. Needle Tatting has been on my 'Learn To Do' list for a long time, and Sandy teaches it as a class in her Studio.
Just what I need...right...another 'Thing' that has the possibility of becoming the next 'OverDoSue' Thingy.
Hmmmm...here's where I have a bit of a problem. I never was much good at practice....I am more of a 'Game Gal'. Guess you know what that means.....another Project to add to my Multi-Tasking List.
It will be a great 'Carry It Along' Thingy to work on while traveling, waiting in line at the grocery store, waiting in waiting rooms, and of course 'Thursday's Sit and Sew' at Sandy's Studio. I have the special needles and other tools organized in a snap closure wallet. The 'Tatting Wallet', Learn To Needle Tat Booklet and Sandy's Folder along with a Ball of thread all fit in small easy to grab and go bag. Let the Tatting Times Roll.

That is a great "carry-it-along". You are very talented.
ReplyDeleteThank-you LV. With all my multi-T's, I am never bored.
DeleteI knew a lady who tatted (when I was in high school) and her creations were pretty! You can do everything, Sue!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had hankies with tatting and I always thought them so pretty. It seems I keep trying to do all the things on my list, anyhow!
DeleteI've always loved tatting...never learned to do it, tho.

I was surprised at how easy needle tatting was to catch on to. I think years of crocheting helped...there are similar skills and threads. You should give it a try.
DeleteHi Sue, Tatting? It is almost a lost art. Kudos for you. You are doing a good job too/ I totally love tatting but I am definitely not a needle person. Someone has to carry the torch and you are the perfect choice.

So many of the needle arts are on the verge of being lost, so I am happy to 'keep calm and carry on'. Actually, there has been a resurgence of the Fiber Arts with the advent of Pinterest ...especially knit, crochet and weaving. I'm glad.
