Well, at this time tomorrow I'll be winging my way across Europe, heading toward a job training in Frankfurt, Germany. It's a tough life, I guess. :)
Anyway, my thread is wound and my tatting books carefully selected...it's always hard to choose what to take and what to leave behind!!
I've also done a bit of tatting in the past couple of weeks:
Here is another fun project I'm working on...
I'm not going to tell you the story behind it yet, but you can guess if you want :)
Last weekend I taught my first ever tatting class! Here is the aftermath:
I was so proud, I had 6 people over and all were able to make rings and chains by the end of the 2-hr lesson...one even brought a completed motif to work the next day!
Since then I've given refresher lessons, provided fresh balls of thread and lent out a couple of tatting books; definitely signs of tatting fever in Vladivostok! And, the best part is most of the people have asked when the next lesson will be...so fun!
I also sent off my package for the Secret Shuttle Exchange...I hope it doesn't take too long to get to the US from Russia!! If you're interested, there is another holiday-themed exchange being planned: Secret Santas!

Thanks Margaret! So far, so good...but it's back to reality this weekend! :)
Deletelooks like a great success on your class! can't wait to see what size thread you using and the spiral thing and the train looks great!
ReplyDeleteThank you...the spiral thing is going to be cool...I just had to take a two-week pause to gala ant across Eastern Europe, but I'll be home soon to pick up where I left off
Deletewow i wish I was close enough to take a class :)
ReplyDeleteWell, you would certainly be welcome should you ever find yourself in the neighborhood... ;) depending on where you live I might be able to help you get in touch with someone who could give you a lesson or two...or if you live near Iowa you could wait until the next time I'm home :)
